Bonjour,

Bonnie had a rough night last night. She kept waking up and was
wheezing. She has done better during the day today.

This morning, we dropped the boys off at Lenell's apartment and then
headed into Abidjan. I had a doctor's appointment today. It was a
six-month check-up. The doctor was in surgery; so, we had to wait for a
couple hours. The appointment went well.

We picked up some chicken for lunch and headed back to Lenell's
apartment. We ate lunch there. The boys were happy to see us. Gilbert
was hungry. He had already eaten three bananas and a cookie, and he
still ate more lunch than he usually does. We went home for nap time.

After naps, Gilbert, Bonnie, and I went over to talk to Margie for a
little while. Danny was still asleep.

The boys were busy this evening. They always seem to have plenty of
energy. Bonnie was down on the floor. She was propped up on her arms
looking at Gilbert. Gilbert was sharing his tools with her. He said,
"Mom, I'm playing with Bonnie to make her feel better."

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
