Bonjour,

Joe went visiting with Matt this morning.  I have been down all day with a stomach virus.  When Joe got back from visiting, I went back to bed.  I did sit up for a little while this evening and am feeling a little better.

This morning, Danny was playing with a car.  Gilbert wanted to play with that same car.  He knows that he isn’t supposed to take things from Danny; so, he came up with another plan.  He said, “I want to play patty-cake with Danny,” in hopes that Danny would clap his hands and put the car down.  Gilbert went through the whole patty-cake thing, but Danny kept holding on to the car. 

This afternoon, several boys from the church came by.  They brought some seeds from a rare fruit so that Joe could plant the seeds in the back yard with our other trees.  They played soccer for awhile in the back yard.  Gilbert had a blast with all of those boys.  Danny got in on the action too.

Joe made all of the meals today since I wasn’t feeling well.  He is such a good Daddy!

A demain,
