Bonjour,

Yesterday was our eighth wedding anniversary. We weren't home last
night; so, I'll send an e-mail for both days tonight.

Yesterday morning, I did some cleaning around the house. In the
afternoon, I got a bag packed for everyone. After Joe watched the
Dallas Cowboys football game, we headed to Bassam.

The Posts kept all three children for us. Joe took me to a French
restaurant. The food was very good. We stayed at a hotel next to the
Posts' house.

This morning after breakfast, we went back to the Posts' house. They
said that all of the children did well. Bonnie wasn't wanting to take a
bottle at first; but when she really got hungry, she took it. She is
also eating some baby food and cereal now; she really chows down on that.

Gilbert and Danny were happy to see us. After they told us hello, they
went right back to playing with the boys again. We both got big smiles
from Bonnie. She was holding on tight to me for the first few minutes
after we got back.

We ate lunch with the Posts and stayed to fellowship for awhile.
Jennifer talked to her parents this afternoon. They did find out last
night that seven-year-old Stephen Wesson (Jennifer's nephew) does have
acute lymphatic leukemia. He had his first chemotherapy treatment
yesterday. Please be much in prayer for the Wesson family.

We stopped at the store on the way home. Joe got a few groceries while
the children and I ordered pizza. We took the pizza home.

The boys went swimming when we got home. Then, we ate pizza.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
