Bonjour,

This morning, Joe headed to the church to do some work.  The vehicle wasn't running right; so, he came back home.  He will be taking the vehicle to the mechanic in the morning.  Pray that it will be an easy fix.  It is having trouble starting and is running rough.  
The kids had fun in the pool.  They wear themselves out and then come inside to play.  
I gave all three boys a haircut today.  I thought we would get it done while the power was on.  I am in the doghouse for cutting off Joe's sideburns.  I told him, "If you don't pay much, you don't get much."  The good thing is that his hair grows fast.  : )
I started sorting boxes in the boys' room today.  I did not get much accomplished.
We had a good church service this evening with eight in attendance.  Toward the end of the service, Joe was taking prayer requests.  He was talking about the importance of being a good example.  For some reason, Bonnie decided that would be a good moment to say "Merry Christmas!" at the top of her voice.  
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
