The last two weeks

If you saw the previous title to this post I apologize.  I was going to post an ultrasound video, but it wouldn't upload.  I'm working on it . . . slowly.

I meant to post last week, but the internet wasn't cooperating and then it was a combination of being busy and lazy.

Last week at school was virtual school.  That meant that for the three days in the middle of the week, we were at school and our students were at home.  We use a program called Moodle.  We are able to post assignment, link websites, create forums, wikis and chat rooms.  The students can also turn in all of their homework online.  We found a few bugs during the trial, but if we ever are evacuated (unlikely) we can continue school.  It is also a good way to help kids who have missed some school get caught up or we can use it as a kind of homework hotline, which seems very old fashioned now.

This past week buzzed along as usual.  Today we went down to Khobar looking for many things.  We are downsizing our living room furniture to make more room for the baby.  Our coffee table is taking up precious baby play room.  We'll sell what we have since it is a set.  We are browsing Ikea's "as is" section for a cheap TV stand and are looking for some handcrafted side tables made from old Arab or Indian window frames or parts of a door.  We found a place that does really nice work that is closing their showroom and only making custom stuff.  That means everything they have now is half off.  We also looked at some Persian rugs, but nothing caught our eye, and with a rug we better love it because they're not cheap.  Finally, after all the shopping, we came home with some groceries.  Better luck next time maybe.

T - 21 days until Dubai!
