Bonjour,
Joe took the kids to school. Around 9:30, he went to the Immigration office with Charlie. They had us call the Interior office to see when the committee would meet to consider our quota request. They said that they only meet once every three months, and they had already had a meeting in January. So, we have to fill out the paperwork for a ninety-day extension on our visa while we wait for the quota approval.
I got some things done around the house. I sorted paperwork and got things put away. I also did laundry, the never-ending cycle.
After school, the kids played outside with the Luther kids. After they left, Joe played soccer with the boys for a few minutes. Gilbert got hit right in the face with the ball. It knocked him off of his feet, but he was okay, although a bit offended.
At bath time, Gilbert threw a plastic turtle at Danny. It hit him right by the eye. When Joe first saw it, he thought we would have to go for stitches. But, after he got it cleaned up, it wasn't too bad.
Bonnie had a group of girls lined up outside this afternoon and was teaching them a song. Tonight, she was talking to the letter magnets on the fridge; they were her students. She must have teaching in the blood.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
