Bonjour,

Joe got the kids up this morning and out the door for school.  Then, he picked up my lab results and ran a couple other errands before he came home.  
My lab results were pretty good.  I don't have typhoid anymore or malaria.  I am a little anemic.  Some counts were a little low, but those counts basically showed that I have had an infection and am getting better.  I am trying to take it slow and not do too much at once.
I rode with Joe to pick the kids up from school.  This is the first time that I have been able to go.  The kids were excited to see me.  They said, "Mommy feels better!!"
The kids had a good day at school.  Gilbert does a good job with his Penmanship.  The remarks on his homework pages this week were "Perfect!," "Congratulations!," "Terrific!," and "That's superb!"  Danny can do a good job when he takes his time.  Some of his pages said, "Please take time to write well." But, he got a couple "Great job" comments too.  Believe it or not, Bonnie brought homework home for the weekend.  She has a page of ones and a page of A's to write.  I didn't think the three-year-olds would have homework!  Gilbert is in first grade, and he has less homework than the other two.  Oh well, I guess it won't hurt them.
After supper, we had popcorn and watched Monk.  Gilbert really likes Monk.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
