Bonjour,

This morning, Gilbert was up before the roosters. He woke up at 3:30 and was wide awake. We put him back in bed, but he didn’t go back to sleep. Joe got up with him. Joe made Dunkin’ Donuts since he was up.

Some men came this morning to start leveling the areas to pour a sidewalk, a driveway, and a slab for our water tank. They should be able to pour the cement tomorrow. It rained all afternoon; so that ended the work for today. It was rather cool for here. It got down to 75 degrees. The men who were working in the rain were shivering.

After naps, we went for a walk with Lenell, Margie, Sarah, and the girls. Allison really wanted Gilbert to come and play for awhile when we got back. Gilbert wanted me to go too to make sure that we weren’t going to leave him there again. So, we all went over there and visited a little while before supper.

After supper, the boys took a bath. They love to play in the bath tub. After baths, we read some books and played for awhile. Now, it is bed time.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
