Bonjour!
Thank you for praying for Mandy. She had an emergency c-section last night. She had a girl, Margaret Lorane, 8 lb. 12 oz. They are both doing fine.
Joe and Gilbert went up to the work day at the church. They are in the process of building a school building. Today, they were working on laying the foundation bricks. Those are 10″ by 10″ by 15″ and are solid cement; each brick weighs 60 lbs. Joe said that Gilbert followed him everywhere that he went. By 11:00, Gilbert was worn out. Joe brought Gilbert back home and then went back to the church. He and Matt ate lunch with the guys who were working up there.

After the boys woke up from a nap, we went to visit Sarah and the girls for a little while. Margie wasn’t feeling well today; so, we didn’t go for our normal walk. Gilbert had fun playing outside with the girls. They have a swing set. He wanted Danny to swing with him on the teeter-totter. I held Danny on; both boys thought that was great.
This evening, Gilbert has been watching some of the video that we have taken recently. He gets so excited when he sees himself on the screen. He talks to the people in the pictures. It is almost worth videoing him watching the video.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
