Little known talents/ facts about the Ruff family

This week I thought I would include a few talents and facts about our family that most people don't know. So let us begin....
~Did you know that Richard is a master of impressions. Some of his best are the whole cast of Spongebob Squarepants, most of the Harry Potter characters from the books on cd, Kung Fu Panda characters, and lots of other people. And his new calling in the ward is to teach Sunday School for the 13-18 year olds. He taught that in Springville and really enjoyed it!
~Did you know that: Becky can carve up a HoneyBaked Ham in her sleep. She worked there for a Christmas season and was top employee and seller!!! Becky's calling in the ward is the 2nd Counselor in the Primary Presidency.
~Both of us: our other new calling in the ward is Ward Temple Patrons (I think that it will help us get down to the temple!).
~Little Sarah just lost her first tooth on Tuesday (after Richard used floss and then his leatherman pliers to get it out finally). Sarah also loves her umbrella and would take it everywhere with her if she could!
~Miss Rachel memorizes songs and names really fast! She will see a movie and can remember all the characters names and can sing back the songs. Each time we cross the Mississippi, she will still sing the song she learned 6 weeks ago on the drive out here. And the most perfect food on Earth (according to her) is Mashed Potatoes! No matter what else you serve, if there are mased potatoes on her plate, it is the best dinner ever!
~And Emma girl has a scream so high-pitched that sometimes only dogs can hear it! And she is worried about losing her gift so she practices mutiple times a day to keep her voice strong and clear. And Emma's new favorite foods are "Ogert and prencils" (yogurt and pretzels). And she is a professional food hider (especially carrots).

And our Thanksgiving week looks fun! My mom will be here Wednesday night (hopefully) or Thursday. Thanksgiving dinner together and the missionaries stopping by. Friday we are planning on going to Nauvoo. Saturday, my mom, Richard and I will be driving to Chicago to see "Wicked" and eat at the famous "Giodano's" for authentic Chicago style pizza (super deep with sauce on top).
