Bonjour,
Joe took the kids to school. Then, he went to the dentist. The dentist at the military clinic was out of town. They sent him to a different place. It was much cleaner than the place he went a couple weeks ago. They did an x-ray. Then, they did the first part of a root canal. The dentist said that Joe’s tooth had reached the stage where pain killers were not going to do anything for him; the root was completely dead, and there was a lot of infection. So, he drilled all of that out, packed it with antibiotics, and put a temporary filling in. Joe will go back next Monday to have it checked and drained.
Joe made it home. Brother Morgan offered to bring the kids home from school so that Joe wouldn’t have to get out again today.
I did some cleaning and some laundry today. It rained most of the morning.
The kids had a good day at school. Brother Morgan came home a different way than they usually come; so, they were telling us all about that.
The kids went out to play in the sand pile. It was a little muddy from the rain. Their restaurant today was called “Mama Mina’s Pizzerita.” They had a tower in the middle of their dirt pile. After they completed making their “mud pizza pies,” they called me outside to take a picture of their finished product. They had to take showers before supper tonight. : )
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
