Bonjour,
This morning, Lenell took the boys up to her apartment with her. They played all morning. She fed them lunch and then brought them home for naps around 2:00.
Bonnie and I had a quiet morning at home. Bonnie didn’t know what to think of a quiet house. She slept quite a bit. I made Dunkin Donuts, typed a few e-mails, and worked on laundry.
We talked to Joe a couple times today. Four more men in the group arrived today. They worked on getting money exchanged and getting a wheelchair for one of the men with them. The 79 Israeli officers will arrive on Sunday.
We all got a nap in this afternoon. After naps, the boys wanted their special candy. Lenell had brought some candy that her sister sent in a package. It is a bottle that has a sucker on top and things to dip the sucker in underneath. The boys thought that was great. Danny’s dipping cups didn’t last long; he spilled them everywhere. Then, he was trying to steal Gilbert’s.
Gilbert was playing baseball this evening. He was running to go retrieve the ball and slid. He said, “I’m playing a game called slipper, Mom. That’s how you do it; you slip when you go to get the ball.”
Bonnie has been all smiles today. She has such a cute little smile.
Lenell came back this evening. It sure helps to have her here in the evenings around bedtime!
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
