* I have SO MANY videos that I want to load to the blog, but it seems that ever since I updated my iPhone, I haven't been able to do it through blogger or youtube! FRUSTRATING!!!!! Please if you have a solution, send it my way!
* As of Thursday night, Nory can clap her hands. All she needs is a little bit of "yay!!!!!!" encouragement, and her new trick can go on for minutes on end.
* Not sure I mentioned this before, but Phil and I are keeping our options open in terms of next year. We love Kuwait and our jobs are good ones, but it's important we find a school that will look after Nory (sooner rather than later!). We're talking airfare, health insurance, and tuition. Some schools do offer these benefits to their teachers and it's a real bummer that ours doesn't. Time will tell what the future holds.
* The house has been de-Halloween-ified. (You know what this means. Pictures to follow!)
* Parent-teacher conferences went great. Phil and I are lucky to have so many positive interactions with our parents and because we have been at our school for 4 years now, we've gotten the pleasure of dealing with some of the same parents again. Hooray for great parents with younger siblings! Many of our former parents also popped in to say their hello's and to ask about Nory. So, so sweet.
* Ever since I was pregnant, I've had these weird short hairs that look like mini-alfalfa's near my hairline. Let me tell you - it's not a cute look when I pull my locks back into a ponytail. Alas, to keep my sanity, I have to consider these shorties as another reminder to be appreciative of the things that I have. They are just another souvenir from the WELCOME BABY process :)
* Ford Schmord. When I see that he has more headlines than the Philippines, I get ENRAGED. He's lame. So is CNN.
* Today Phil and I happened upon MY NEW FAVOURITE STORE (kind of a lie - it took me many days to nail down this location). It's all arts & crafts supplies and I was FINALLY able to find some FELT in this country!!!! Wait until you see the fun we get up to with this purchase :)
* Remember how the Olympics are happening in the new year?!!! AHHHH!!!!!
* We've entered the latter half of November. BRING IT ON!!!!! Only two weeks until the best month of the year is here!!!!!!
