Good Morning,
I just returned from the school and feeding Alex his lunch. The kids get fed at 10:00AM and Alex needs to be fed and today Karen is taking people to the Hospital for a tour, so I got the privilege of feeding him. It is such a joy to go to the school for devotions and watch all the kids...what georgeous children!
I have to tell a story that happened on Tuesday when I went to feed him. Dana Lynn, Liette and Shondi you will enjoy this and remember when you did this same thing to Grammy. I was sitting on the cement wall feeding Alex in his chair and a little preschool girl came and smiled at me and sat beside me. After a while she touched my arm, then she put two hands on my arm and moved upward...then she tried to put both hands around my upper arm then she smiled at me and wiggled my flab and laughed. I burst out laughing and thought "I have become my mother" she did it all the more after I laughed. It was a great moment!
Everyone is back from the hospital tour and back to work. It is extrememly hot again BUT was chilly last night, so I will be looking for more sheets for people tonight.
Bob and Brian put hooks in the cement ceiling in the gallery for a swing for Alex this morning. He will be a happy boy when he gets home from school. We have more kids coming today to have photos taken for their sponsors and to meet the ones here. We are also going to try to give shoes that Superstore donated out to those with feet size 7-10. We will try to get the rest of the clothes you brought given out tomorrow Liette.
I must run I have a bunch to do before noon and it is fast approaching.
Hope your storm (Yarmouth)wasn't too bad and temperatures didn't drop too low in Ottawa.
Bye for now
Sandra

Hi Mom,
What a great story! How I remember it well - so soft and fun!
Might have to turn on the heat tonight, -39 without wind chill. Last night my feet were cold and I had to put on socks!
TWO social events planned this weekend! Crazy times! :-)
Love you lots!
ha ha I totally remember that about Grammy. I remember Liette and I doing that to grammy and even kneading Mom's butt like bread when she would like down on the couch. Now after her scant haitian diet there wouldn't be enough to even call a dinner roll!
SHONDI - Two social events in one weekend - YOU GO GIRL!
eWoo hoo, Shondi! Get out there and have fun! By the way, you called me which was awesome, but left me no phone number to call you back! I only have your old email address too. Send me your contact info!
This is an awesome story Aunt Sandy. I loved playing with Grammy's triceps ;) When my kids try, I flex and shoo them away - not my time yet.
Take some pics of the clothes distribution if you can. Thanks.
Love, Liette
Oh "Sanra" - :-) Just back from Halifax last night and catching up. Just read your note and laughed - read it to Bruce. We both had a good laugh.
It is very cold but looks nice out there right now. We are going to take Gage for a short walk up the path and see what it is like. Looks like a picture outside.
Hope you have some warm clothes - when you hit Montreal, it may be a shock! They have had - 40 weather. Hopefully, it will warm up somewhat this coming week.
Take care - looking forward to seeing you home and hearing all the stories.
Love to all - Sheila
