Bonjour,

Joe went to run errands this morning. First, he went to Anyama. He
stopped at the phone company. They still don't know when the phone line
will be replaced. Then, he went into Abidjan. He is trying to get a
bank account set up. He filled out all of the paperwork, but their
computers were down today; so, he has to wait for it to be processed.
He ate lunch and then headed home.

The children and I did some cleaning this morning. The boys were
building things with their blocks this morning.

When we went to Yamoussoukro, we stayed at the Hotel President. Gilbert
and Danny call it "Hotel Sident." This morning, they were building
Hotel Sident with their blocks. They keep asking if we can go back
there. When we went, the boys used a sleeping bag that the Posts had.
Gilbert asked if he could get a sleeping bag and go back to Hotel
Sident. I told him that when we go back to America, we will get him a
sleeping bag. Today, he and Danny were riding the scooter. Gilbert
said, "Stop here, Danny. This is America. Let's get our sleeping bag
so we can go back to Hotel Sident."

After naps, the boys went swimming. Bonnie played in the playpen while
I worked on supper.

I made Indian tacos for supper. The boys were disappointed at first
because they wanted normal tortillas. But, they decided that the fry
bread was pretty good too.

Bonnie is getting closer to crawling. She is scooting around and will
probably take off soon. She likes her walker too.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
