Bonjour,

Joe did not sleep at all last night.  He had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic that he has been taking.  He has been sick all day.  Please pray that he will get to feeling better soon!!
Joe called a taxi driver to take the kids to school this morning.  Several others ride with them including two of the teachers at the school.  So, the kids were not alone.  It was a tearful departure, but they did okay after they left.  
Danny said that his whole class had to go to the office today for talking.  He was one of the five who did not get in trouble because they weren't talking.  Bonnie said that she almost had to go to the office for playing with another girl.  Gilbert is the only one who has not been to the office at all.
I did some cleaning and laundry.  
Joe went to pick the kids up from school and went straight to bed when he got back.  The kids played outside while I got supper ready.  After supper, we listened to a Bible story since we did not go to church tonight.  This is the first service Joe has missed with all of the tooth trouble that he has been having; he is quite miserable.  
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
