Bonjour,

Joe is down with malaria. He has had a fever off and on throughout the
day. It usually takes a couple days for the cure to kick in. Danny
isn't feeling very well today either.

Three girls from the church in Belleville came this morning. They
wanted to help me. So, they did some dishes and swept. Then, they
watched Swiss Family Robinson with the boys. They couldn't understand
what was being said since it was in English, but that didn't seem to
bother them. They were having a good old time.

After lunch, we all got a nap in. When the boys woke up, we hit the
ground running again.

The boys took turns holding Bonnie. Then, they wanted to put some
stickers in a book. Gilbert would do all of the stickers in one day if
I didn't make him save some for another day.

Bonnie's burns are looking a little better today. It will just take
time for it to heal completely.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
