Bonjour,
 
Bonnie had a rough night.  She didn’t vomit any more, but she had a high fever in the night.  The fever has gone up and down throughout the day.  We think that the mango worm areas are infected, and that is causing the fever.  We started her on an antibiotic today.
 
The boys started school, but we didn’t get very far.  I was working on lunch to have it ready when Joe and the Aarons got here.  They got here about 12:30.  I wasn’t quite finished with lunch.  The kids were happy to see Daddy and excited to meet the Aaron kids.  Amelia is 5; Adam is 4 (He has the exact same birthday as Danny.); Jane is six months.  Gilbert and Danny think it is great to have a baby around.  They had fun playing with Amelia and Adam too.
 
Bonnie and I took a nap while Emily put Jane down for a nap.  The other kids played outside. 
 
Joe and Andrew went into town to get a few things.  They checked on our car.  They were supposed to be replacing the rear brakes, but they didn’t find the right parts.
 
I made BBQ chicken for supper.  We had a good time of fellowship with the Aarons.
 
A demain,
 
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
