Bonjour,

Joe went visiting this morning. They had some good visits. They had a
good visit with Mr. Omega. He is a famous comedian here in Ivory
Coast. They live just down the street from the church. His wife
attends pretty faithfully. He said that he will come to church tomorrow.

The children and I worked on taking the Christmas tree down today. Even
Bonnie helped. She was in her walker. She came over and got a handful
of garland and started pulling. Gilbert was handing me ornaments.
Danny couldn't quite get things off the tree. So, he was playing with
the ornaments on the table that had already been removed. He got the
hooks all tangled up in the garland.

Three girls from the church came by this morning. They played outside
with the boys for awhile. Then, they came in and were doing puzzles.
Danny was telling them that they weren't doing it right because he
wanted to do the puzzles.

During naps, Joe worked on the bulletin board for the new year for
church. After naps, Joe took the kids swimming while I got the rest of
the Christmas things put away and started on supper.

Joe worked in the office this evening. Danny had a slight fever
tonight; those teeth really give him fits.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
