It’s been a family effort getting Gentry to walk independently, cheering him on as he walks back and forth between 2 people with much clapping and cheering at each trip across the room🤎

 This morning while I was working on lunch, Lonnie was watching the 2 littles. The Carrom board has been balanced on the top of 3 wooden dining room chairs for the past year but this morning while Gentry was playing below he must’ve bumped the chairs just wrong and that heavy beast of a Carrom board came crashing to the floor, chairs upended, Gentry underneath😱 Miraculously, when the board was lifted off of him the only damage we could see was a very pinched ear, the girls came down from their classroom to see what the clatter and bang was all about. The sturdy Carrom board showed no signs of it’s mishap😳 But there was no questions asked, Lonnie put the Carrom board away and swept up all the sawdust that had been knocked out of the bug holes. 

Dipti reports that her daughter in law’s mother is now in the hosp. with Dengue😣 Ive heard of too many cases now! And the crazy thing is, we don’t even hardly see mosquitoes! It seems like they are so much less than last year! Like, I’ve seen maybe 2 here at the house in the last week or 2 and 2 at Lewis’s when we were there last Wed.!?!
