Flooded yet no water

Today is the 11 year anniversary of 9/11. But here in Madagascar it has already been a long day. I woke up at 5:30am, but didn't get out of bed till like 6:15pm. The boys are already at their summer school, camp thingy. But the first sound I heard this morning was death wailing, a youngish man died this morning. Then we found out the dogs killed one of the pipes so we have no water but 1/2 the yard is flooded. I got to talk to my best friend Abbey today :) which made me smile. Yesterday I got to facetime Sarah, Jay, and Nathan. Also we found out footman also has malaria :(, nothing goes good for this poor man. We leave for vacation saturday which sounds like it will be very very fun :)
