Bonjour,

Joe and Gilbert went up to the church this morning. The workers started working on putting the roof up over the cement slab today. Gilbert got hot and tired; Joe brought him back home and went back up to the church.

Gilbert and Danny played outside for awhile. It was quite warm out. Gilbert wanted to play with water. I let him use the hose to put some water in a bucket. They had a great time with that. When they finished, they had to come in for baths. They managed to find some dirt after they got wet. Imagine that! : )

Joe came home for lunch. The boys and I took a nap. After naps, we went for a walk while Joe went back up to the church to check on their progress. Gilbert went over to play with the Litson girls while I made pizza for supper. When Joe got home, he took Bob back into Anyama to tow his vehicle back to the church. They are in the process of putting a different engine in Bob’s vehicle.

When Joe got home, he went to get Gilbert. Gilbert was excited about pizza. He went straight to his chair to see if his plate was there yet. He was hungry!

Danny is taking a few more steps now. He still prefers crawling.

We are having the Posts over for lunch tomorrow. So, I have been working on some things for tomorrow’s meal. The Litsons and Engelharts are going to come for dessert. Then, the guys are going to watch a football game. Maybe the ladies can play a game or something.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
