I had to go on another mission into the city. This time I stopped at the beach. The Persian Gulf wate r is hot! Even Ned wanted to get his feet wet.

So Emma finally got the knitted bunny I made for her in the mail yesterday. She said that she loves it and daddy sent me so me pictures of her with the bunny. To cute!

A few days ago I had to go on a mission to Kuwait City to bring a fellow soldier to the dentist. My job was the guard the car with the 1 SG . So we took along Ned and it was the prefect opportunity for a Gnome photo Op. Below are some of Ned's adventures in Kuwait City... Of course Ned had to stop for a Bucks while out on town! And of cou rse Ned couldn't resist the Golden arches!

Today my Gnome friend had Taco Bell and a Pina Colda Hawaiin Ice for Lunch. Yummy!

A new Gnome showed up in the mail for me the other day. He has had a few adventures since he has been here so far. This morning he did PMCS on the green Monster. He's checking the oil and all the belts. And here he is inspecting the cleaning job of my M16's bolt.

I finally finished the knitted Bunny that I started making for Emma back in April! I got the pattern from the book Knitted Toys by Zoe Mellor. It is a pretty easy knit but between that time I was busy getting deployed and all that good stuff, so I had put it on hold for a while. Now that I am settled in here, I decided it was time to put my mind to it and finish. I already had most of the limbs done, it was just a matter of sweing the seams together and stuffing them.

When I stopped in Germany on the way here, I was a little out of it and don't really remember much. But I found these little Kinder Joy egg things that I had bought. They are candy in the a plastic egg shaped container. On one side is a type of cream with to chocolate filled balls and the other side holds a surprise t oy . It even comes with a little spoon to eat the egg like candy. I bought one more egg to send home to Emma, can't wait to see what she gets for a surprise inside!
