Dear Amy,

I still don’t know how you get removed from the Bonjour list. Sorry about that!

Gilbert is starting to talk a lot more now. Some kids at church yesterday were touching the front bumper of the car. He told them, “Our car; you can’t have it.” He didn’t want them to touch his car! He is quick to correct Danny if he thinks Danny is doing something that he shouldn’t do, “No, Baby! Don’t touch it!”

Danny is becoming quite the trickster in the tub. He stands up; he also tries to climb up the slope at the back of the tub. Gilbert starts splashing, and Danny laughs. They have a great time.

Gilbert was sitting in Joe’s lap last night during church. Somehow Gilbert went tinkle out the side of his diaper. Joe had a sudden warm sensation in his lap. What a joy!

Have fun at the ladies’ conference! Wish I could be there to sit in on a session or two with the sisters. I’m sure we’d find a way to get a few laughs in. : )

I love you!

Love,

Laura
