Reviving a Dead XBox



Here's how I spent my Saturday afternoon...
I had to hotswap my bricked xbox and reload files on it to get it working again. Here's the mess I created in the office:

Swimming with the Woodwards

Today we had the Woodward family out for a swim. I pulled out Tom's surfboard, and the kids took turns going for a ride.

Rex and Reeve played pirates and spent time "raiding treasures, and overcoming enemies hidden on the edges of the rocky shores". We had great fun and enjoyed our time with the Woodwards!

Welcome Back Daisy!


After two full months without a permanent replacement amah, Daisy has returned. It has been an extreme challenge for our family so much so that it is difficult to even start to explain. We had no idea how hard it would be to replace her. We couldn't. When you have someone living with you and taking care of your family and your home, you want a person that understands and sees what is needed without being told. It is part of the culture here to have a helper that lives with you and that you employ. We are getting used to the idea and we are so grateful to have Daisy living with us again. Now we in the processes of getting her work permit...

Trick or Treat - KL Style

Click here to visit the Woodward Family Adventures Blog.

The Mooreheads had us out to their neighborhood in Taman Tar for Halloween. We had a lot of fun trick or treating in one neighborhood. Since Halloween isn't so big in Malaysia, the expats have one area where you can trick or treat if you sign up and bring candy.

(excerpt from the Woodward blog)

As you go up to houses there might be seven or eight pots of candies from those freeloaders (like us!) who don't live in the neighborhood.

Some just pull up their cars and pass out candy from the trunk of the car.
