| Working in the fields. |

We stopped by a bookstore in Carcassonne, the boys sat
down to read. |

This is the last day of our kids two weeks spring break. Oddly I think we had better weather during their winter break in February. We had a good weekend. I made a slight mistake last week not checking the messages on our answering maching and found out Friday that I was needed to play the piano in church on Sunday. I practiced for several hours Saturday and did "okay" on Sunday. I should have practised a little longer. Last time I practiced a little too much and this time not enough, so I should know exactly now what is needed :) The kids have been spending a lot of time inside. Caleb did spend the night Sunday night with one of his friends. Sunday Lilia and I went a visited with some friends. Tuesday we got out of the house some and went shopping and playground hopping in Carcassonne. After we got back home, I took the boys to help a friend clear out a vinyard. It was good work for the boys. My boys needed a few lessons in work. They tend to complain about the size of the task at hand, and about their fellow employees, and about the pay. So this was a good occassion to explain to them about being a good worker. We spent a couple of hours at it and by the end they had gotten a good rythym. One of our good friends is moving this weekend and so I have been stopping by to help them out as time permits. The big move will be on Saturday. Bible study was good last night. I did not go to the market this morning because of the cloudy skies and chance of rain. I will make a trip to the dump this afternoon with some of our stuff and some from the family that is moving. I like working, and it seems not to matter what I am working on. I have just finished running through the tutorial of the Dreamweaver web-making software. Intersting stuff. Other than that, I wanted to mention that Andrew has not sucked his thumb for a good while now. He does a little while he is sleeping but that is far better that before. I am not sure what exactly motivated him to stop, I just explained that it probably is the reason that he is getting sick more than the rest of the family. The rest of the family is doing well. We still have moments of un-ending laughter, which is great. The kids all seem to have a good sense of humour. I always enjoyed cheering people up and getting people to laugh. That was a tough part of moving to France, I couldn't communicate, therefore it was hard to be funny. ThankfullyI communicating better now. We pray that you have a good weekend. God bless, JASON
