Last Week:
- ooTunes drops in rankings. A competitor has come out with a much sought after feature. Woo works furiously to catch up and improve upon it.
- Ruby becomes more affectionate. Starts telling us she loves us at random times, and snuggles sometimes.
- I buy a bed frame for our bed for the first time. "We look like we're rich now!"---Woo. "Your bed looks nice, Mom!"---Ruby. Moses is no longer able to climb up by himself.
- Woo's parents come to visit. We make them take us to Costco immediately after picking them up from the airport (we're out of toilet paper and maple syrup).
- The kids spend the entire weekend stacking toilet paper rolls into castles and buses and boats.
- Moses spends the entire weekend avoiding Grandpa (not an easy task).
- Grandma shows the kids how the "Barnyard Dance" is done.
- We attend the Pagedale Thanksgiving dinner... lots of soul food. Afterwards we're treated to some gospel tunes and "praise" dancers. Herbie is obsessed with the red robes on the choir.
- We go to the science center. Ruby and Herbie talk about the robotic Tyrannosaurus Rex and Triceratops exhibit for days after.
- Woo's laptop with EVERYTHING on it dies. We take it in; they say 3-5 days.
- We take Woo's parents to the airport.
- Woo buys a new computer and gets everything on the laptop transferred to it.
- We get the laptop back.
- Moses begins to give unsolicited hugs---so sweet.
- I go to New Moon with a couple of girls in the branch. I haven't done something like this in years...
- Woo's MTC companion invited us to his family's Thanksgiving dinner. Best Thanksgiving we've had here in St. Louis. Great food, and very relaxing (for me :).
- Woo submits his update to Apple---finds a major bug a few hours later---resubmits late last night.
- Ruby has a lesson on the sacrament. Later, (very concerned), "Mom, I don't want Dad to sacrament (sacrifice) me."
