Bonjour!

We spent another day waiting for the DSL man to come.  Joe talked to him
several times on the phone.  He finally said that he would be here at
16:00.  After a couple more calls, he finally arrived at 19:30.  Oh
well, at least he finally got us connected.

We were able to get some things done around the house.  The boys
"helped" Daddy outside for awhile.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny

Bonjour!

Joe worked on the computer today.  We are not getting a steady DSL
signal.  It goes and comes.  So, Joe was trying to figure out the
problem there.  He talked to the phone company; they told him to try a
couple things.  We will have to get a new filter tomorrow.  They think
that might be the problem.

I did some cleaning and organizing.  Danny is quite the helper.  He
follows me around to undo what I just did.  He really likes to "help"
with the laundry.

Our walk was cut short today because it started raining on us.

Bonjour!

I had a doctor's appointment this morning.  Sarah kept the boys for us.
We had to wait awhile at the doctor's office.

The doctor said that everything looks good.  She did another
ultrasound.  It's a girl!  Joe pretended to be disappointed, but I don't
think he really minds.  He told me that I had messed up his basketball
team.  : )

The doctor said that I don't need to go back until March unless a
problem arises.  She told me to feel free to call her any time with any
questions.

After we finished at the doctor's office, we went to a computer store to
get a new filter for the DSL.  We got some lunch and then headed home.

The boys had a great time playing with the Litsons girls.  They were so
busy playing that Danny hadn't even taken a nap.  Both boys went right
to sleep when we got home.

We went to the Litsons' church in Belleville tonight.  We are going to
be working with them there for the next few months.  Then, we will be
helping Romeo there while the Litsons go on furlough.  Two single ladies
will be coming to help start an orphanage in Anyama.  We will be helping
them get settled and adjusted as well.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
