Bonjour,
Bonnie stayed home sick today. She has an ear infection, a stuffy nose, and a cough. She "helped" me make curtains. First, she was under the table trying to push the pedal. I guess I don't have as much patience as Nana. She let all three kids push the pedal for her while she was here. After two failed attempts, I told her to come out. After she got over her feelings being hurt, she asked if she could sit in my lap. I told her that I couldn't sew with her in my lap. So, she pulled up a chair and sat next to me. She was writing numbers and asked me how to write each one and needed help on a couple. She kept calling them letters instead of numbers.
I am trying to get the curtains for the bedrooms finished before we move in to the other house next week. I finished the curtains for the boys' room and for Bonnie's room today. I am hoping to get the curtains for our room done tomorrow; then, I can focus on packing after I get cupcakes made for Gilbert to take to school on Friday.
Joe worked up at the other house most of the day. The painting is coming along. They should finish up the painting by Friday.
The boys had a good day at school. They were telling Bonnie all of the people who said they missed her today.
I stayed home with the kids tonight. Gilbert and Danny still aren't all the way over their colds. Bonnie had a fever tonight. Joe said that they had a good church service.
Please continue to pray for Catherine Hudson. She has stage four metastatic breast cancer, which has moved to her liver. She started chemotherapy treatments today.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
