W'apow mu e, 

Joe made more friends at the guest house.  He took them around the Osu area this morning, which is where the Ivorian Embassy is located.  He went into the Embassy about 11:00, and his visa was ready.  He took the guys back to the guest house and headed home.  He got here about 4:30 this afternoon.  They have opened a new bypass road which goes around Accra; that has really helped with all of the traffic, and he can make it home a lot faster now.

I did some cleaning, computer work, and laundry today.  

The kids had a good day at school.  When they got home, we worked on picking up before Daddy got home.  We were all happy to see Daddy.

Joe watched the kids swim while I worked on supper.  Then, they took Daddy to show him where Thumper is buried.

The kids wanted to play a game, but they were too tired and kept fighting.  So, we decided to play a game another time.

One of the kids asked me what month it is. I told them that it is June now.  Bonnie was excited to hear that; her birthday is in June.  She had to go report to each person that her birthday is coming in eleven more days.

Danny was busy writing another note for Daddy tonight.  He is doing a good job with sounding out the words.  He only needed help with a couple of words this time.  

Gilbert was the last one awake tonight.  Bonnie and Danny both fell asleep in a chair.

Nantsew yie!

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
