Bonjour,

This morning, Joe took me to get some lab work done. The doctor said
that he will get the results next week.

We went to Walmart and got fishing poles for the boys. I wasn't
supposed to eat before my lab work. So, we picked up some breakfast and
headed home.

When we got back, the boys had gone with Betsy, Joe's cousin. She took
them to run some errands and then took them out to eat for lunch. They
had catfish, french fries, and ice cream. She said that the boys ate
and ate. Gilbert told her, "We love fish!"

Joe got all of the fishing stuff ready while the boys were gone. After
the boys got home, we put them down for naps. Then, we headed to the
hospital to visit Nannie. She was doing a little better this afternoon
and may get to come home tomorrow. Gilbert wanted to know why she has
to stay in there for three times.

After naps, we went fishing. Bonnie stayed with Nana. I took some
pictures and then fished for awhile. Joe, Papa, and Gilbert all caught
something. Gilbert was so excited because he caught the biggest fish.
Joe took Gilbert and Jayne, Joe's cousin's daughter, out in the paddle
boat for awhile. Danny and I went up to the house to check on Bonnie.
We ended up taking Bonnie in the stroller and going back down to the
lake. Danny didn't want to miss out on anything.

Joe barbecued hot dogs for supper.

Everyone stayed up a little later tonight, but we are still feeling a
little jet-lagged.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
