Bonjour,

Gilbert went visiting with Joe this morning. Danny was sad that he got
left behind. Joe said that some of the boys were giving Gilbert French
lessons this morning. He is picking up quite a bit of French. If he
doesn't know the right word to say, he just makes one up and keeps
jabbering on.

Danny helped Mommy while Bonnie slept. We sorted the toys in the
bedroom and got all of those put back away. Then, we worked on some
laundry. Danny likes to help load and unload the washer and dryer.

When Joe and Gilbert got home, Danny ran out to meet them. He said,
"Gilbert! Gilbert's home!" When they got inside, Gilbert ran up to
Danny and gave him a big hug. He said, "Hi there, Danny!"

The children and I all took a nap. Bonnie woke up very fussy. She
cried and spit up for a couple hours straight.

Church went well. The national pastor that works with Bob Mach preached
tonight.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
