Bonjour,

We didn't get an e-mail sent yesterday.

Yesterday morning, Joe went visiting. They went door to door and had
some good visits.

We had to start Danny on an antibiotic. His cough has moved into his
chest. Gilbert didn't have a fever or anything but kept saying that he
didn't feel very well. Bonnie is still congested. I still have a cough.

Last night after Danny went to bed, Gilbert and I wrapped one of Danny's
birthday presents.

Today is Danny's birthday. He is two. This morning, Gilbert started
asking right away when Danny was going to open his presents.

The children and I stayed home today. Danny, Bonnie, and I are still
not back to 100% yet.

Joe had a good day at church. The attendance was down this morning, but
they had good services. Joe preached this evening in Belleville; Romeo
preached at the Anyama church.

We wanted to do something for Danny's birthday. So, Lenell, the
Engelharts, and Delores (She is a girl in the church that is staying
with the Engelharts right now.) came over after church. I made pizza,
and Lenell brought a cake.

It was finally time to open presents. As Danny started to open the
present that Gilbert helped wrap, Gilbert said, "It's a car, Danny."
Everyone told him, "SHHH! You're not supposed to tell." So, he quickly
said, "It's a box, Danny!" to cover for himself. Danny got a beach
ball, a frog chair for the pool, a cap gun, and a pick-up truck.

Bonnie slept a lot today. I thought she would be up tonight. But, she
went right to sleep.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
