Bonjour,

Joe is feeling a little better today than he did yesterday. He is still
not fully recovered.

We stayed home and took it easy today. The children and I walked down
to the boutique this morning to buy some sugar. Pete, one of our dogs,
went with us. Just as we got back in front of our house, three boys
came around the corner. Pete took off after them. It scared the boys.
One of the boys grabbed on to me and started running in circles around
me. Pete was hot on his trail. I told him that if he let go of me and
just kept walking that Pete would leave him alone. I grabbed Pete's
collar, and we all got back to the house without incident.

We all got a nap in this afternoon. Margie and Delores came over to see
us for a little while this evening.

Tonight, Gilbert was standing in front of Bonnie, and he jumped. She
started laughing. So, he would jump and then watch her laugh. She is
rolling all over the living room now.

Danny fell off of Gilbert's bed this evening and scraped his back on the
changing table. He has about an eight inch scrape with a gouge at one
end. Joe got it all doctored up. Gilbert wanted to make sure that
Danny got a band-aid. Danny always seems to have some type of injury.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
