Bonjour,

Joe went visiting this morning.  
The kids did their homework and the work that they missed yesterday.  Then, we did some puzzles and played Checkers.  The boys don't quite have the hang of it yet, and I am not the best teacher for Checkers.
Bonnie and Gilbert seem to be feeling better.  Danny may be coming down with the stomach bug now.
After naps, we had Bible Club.  There were twelve kids today.  One of the boys wanted to know if he could bring lots of people with him.  I told him that was fine.  He said that he tried to bring some more kids today, but their mother wasn't home, and he couldn't check with her.  After our lesson, we played Red Rover and Duck, duck, goose.  They enjoyed those games.  These weren't the same kids with whom we had played those games before; so, we had to teach them how to play.  
Kristine made supper for us tonight.  She even made a chocolate pie.  
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
