Sending out a BIG thank you to Gramma Cass for following through on her promise to send birthday presents for Margot, Perceval and Guillaume with a little something for Alienor thrown in there as well. WE LOVE YOU! Poor Margot was starting to get desperate and was beginning to lose all hope. Gramma Cass sent the presents to Patrice who brought them back with him from his trip to San Francisco/San Antonio this past week. His luggage didn't make his connecting flight in Paris so he came home with no luggage. That evening Gramma Cass happened to call and talked to the kids. Gramma Cass explained to Margot the problem with the luggage but Margot didn't believe her and said she thought Gramma Cass was lying. You'd have to know Margot. She's an unusual one! She can say the boldest things and get away without it sounding offensive.

Of course a few technical difficulties made it so I missed the cutest of the boys' exclamations when they saw the PlayMobil for Perceval. They are still really into PlayMobil. And luckily Gramma Cass found a 'chevalier' (knight) that we don't have! Actually, the boys think Perceval's PlayMobil guys look more like Gaulois than chevalier (any of you up on your French history?!). And yes, we speak franglais in our house!

Well this is taking so long to upload that I may as well continue writing. Maybe not, can't think of anything interesting to say at the moment.

Thanks again, Gramma Cass! We love you!
