Bonjour,

This morning, Joe and Gilbert went into Anyama to run some errands.  Danny was hoping to go as well.  When Gilbert gave me goodbye kisses, Danny did too.  He went right out the door with them, but I had to bring him back inside.  He was not too happy about being left behind.  He took a nap while Daddy and Gilbert were gone.

Danny’s nap didn’t last long after Gilbert got home.  He was chomping at the bit to play with Danny.  When he heard Danny make a sound, he went running in and said, “Danny took a long nap!”  He had only been asleep for about forty-five minutes.  But that was okay because that way he still took a nap this afternoon.

After lunch, the boys and I took a nap.  Joe worked on the computer.

Sarah and I went for a walk while Joe talked to Matt.  Gilbert decided to stay and play with the girls instead of going on the walk.  The Litsons have a “volcano” sprinkler.  It shoots water out.  Gilbert had great fun with that.  At first, it wasn’t spraying.  So, Danny had his face right over the spout.  It started working when Danny was right there, and he stayed far away from it after that.

We are having a big storm this evening.  Our power has flickered a few times, but it has come back on each time so far.
