Gemma answered our questions!!!!!

Her answers are in blue. It only took a week for her to get back to us. We also finished our video and sent it off last week. It was about 40 minutes long. I wish we could get a video of her watching it. We will probably send more questions in a few weeks. If anyone has any other question ideas please let us know.
