Bonjour!

This morning, Joe, Gilbert, and Nana went to the market. Mrs. Widener went with them to help them find things. Joe carried Gilbert on his shoulders all throughout the market.

Danny was awake today more than he has been so far. He was still asleep when they left for the market, but Gilbert wanted to give baby kisses. Joe lifted him up so that he could kiss Danny. He kept wanting to give him another kiss.

They checked on the birth certificate. It wasn’t ready yet. Because of the power being off in Accra, they weren’t able to do the hologram yet.

After lunch, everyone except Joe took a nap. Walking around in the market tired Nana and Gilbert out.

This afternoon, Joe walked with Nana to the seamstress. She bought some material today and is having a couple outfits made.

Joe grilled hamburgers for supper.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
