Grandchild Number 6 Arrives!

No pictures yet, but Jack Henry Laughlin was born yesterday evening, 15th June, in Sacramento, California to Mark & Aubrey.  The little guy weighed in at 7 lbs, 8 ozs and stretched to a whopping 20.5"!  Mom Aubrey is doing well, though exhausted.  Mark called us this morning around 4:35 am, our time, to 'deliver' the good news.

We can't wait to see him, but that will have to wait for a while.  We are so grateful to The Lord for this new little one and we promise to post a pic or two as soon as we can!

Also, I wanted to let you know how Sarah's fund raising BBQ went last Saturday evening . . . we had about 53 friends show up to enjoy good food and to watch the USA take on England in the World Cup!  Sarah had a donation box set up in the kitchen and that was about it.  The last friend left around 12:45 am and we decided to see how the donations went.  Honestly, Sarah was hoping she might be able to raise around €500 but when she finished counting, it was €1,304!  Absolutely amazing, we were all blown away with the generousity of so many.

Sarah was able to buy her plane tickets and is not to far from the total amount she needs to raise - all from one BBQ and 50 wonderful friends that want to support and encourage her as she serves in Guatemala this summer.  A huge Thank You to all who came or donated!
