Bonjour,

Joe and Gilbert went into Anyama this morning to run a couple errands. Danny took a nap while they were gone. I did some work on the quarterly financial reports.

After lunch, Joe did some rearranging in Gilbert’s room. He set up a twin bed for Gilbert. Gilbert was so excited about his “big boy bed.” He was ready to take a nap in it as soon as I made the bed. Danny will start sleeping in the crib that Gilbert has been using. We will take the other one down and give it back to the Litsons; we had borrowed it from them. That will free up some space in the office.

This afternoon, Joe did some more work on Sunday school materials. I finished the financial reports.

We had to wake Gilbert up to go on the walk today. He wasn’t quite ready to walk, but he woke up after a few minutes. When we got home, he wanted to play with the girls for a little while. Danny and I went over there too. We all got on the trampolene. Danny had a great time crawling around on it. The girls were crawling too. Gilbert’s jumping wasn’t enough to make any of us bounce.

We played with blocks this evening. Danny’s favorite thing is to destroy anything that is being built. Gilbert was making airplanes and then crashing them. Gilbert calls them “hairplanes.”

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
