Bonjour,

Joe left the house a little after 4:00 this morning and got to Accra by 9:00.  He was in and out of the first office by 9:15.  He spent the next several hours at the DVLA and was able to get all of the car papers transferred over to his name.  Since he got everything done that he needed to do, he decided to come on home.  He hit some traffic coming out of Accra.  He should be home within the next thirty minutes.
The kids rode in a taxi to school with Brother Dan.  The taxi was late picking them up from school because he had some car problems.  They got home about thirty minutes later than normal, but the kids all seemed to be in good spirits.  They wanted to put their play clothes on and go play with the Luther kids.
I think I am finally caught up on the laundry, at least for the moment.  I worked on some more of Joe's pants; they always have to be shortened.  I had not gotten my sewing machine out since we had been back in Africa until Joe's mom was here.  Since the machine is still out, I thought I should get some projects done.
Gilbert and Danny both had a rough time going to bed.  They don't like it when Daddy isn't here.  But, he's coming!
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
