Bonjour,

Joe went to Belleville this morning. Romeo and Marcel met with Joe
about their plan for visitation for 2009. Romeo divided Belleville into
three sectors. He wants to visit a different sector each Wednesday,
leaving one Wednesday a month to do some work around the church.

Joe stopped at the phone company. They said that someone would be out
today, but they didn't come. Oh well, at least the temporary system
across the street seems to be working well for the time being.

The other day when Joe was driving into Anyama, a tree frog jumped in
the window and hit Joe right in the face. Joe said that he was driving
fast, and the frog hit him pretty hard. I forgot to tell that story.

The boys went over to play at Margie's house for awhile this morning.
Bonnie played in her walker while I worked in the kitchen.

After naps, Gilbert caught a frog in a plastic bottle. Gilbert said,
"The frog's name is Gilbert like me, Mom!" Danny wanted to catch one
too. He couldn't find one and wanted me to help him. I told him that I
wasn't a frog hunter. He was a bit disappointed. Gilbert ended up
letting the frog go after awhile. Danny was upset that he let it go.

Bonnie tried really hard to follow the boys out the door in her walker.
She got a wheel out the door a time or two before we stopped her.

Joe preached tonight. There were 38 in attendance.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
