Bonjour,

It has been awhile since you heard from us. We have been staying busy.

Joe has been busy getting meetings lined up. We have also been

spending some time with family. We had a great family reunion with my

parents, grandparents, and siblings’ families. We are now in Nebraska

already a year old. She is starting to take a few steps. We

celebrated her birthday in Texas before we left, then in Branson with

my family, and again yesterday with Joe’s grandparents.

Until next time,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
