Joe went visiting this morning.  They had some good visits.

The kids and I got some things done around the house.  I worked on laundry.  It looked like rain, but I got two loads almost dry before the rain came.

We have to go to Accra to get Danny's passport renewed.  I worked on his photo history page today to show that we have had him all along.  He was only two weeks old in his first passport photo.

We got naps in this afternoon.  The boys went up to play with the Luthers.  Bonnie took a long nap.  She just played around the house when she woke up.  I got all of the laundry folded and put away.

After supper, the kids talked Daddy into building some things with their new blocks.  He discovered that we are already missing pieces.  I'm sure they will turn up eventually.  I found some tucked away inside of Bonnie's little oven.  She assured me that there weren't any blocks inside, but there were.

The US Embassy only accepts passport applications in the mornings from 8:00 to 12:00.  So, we are going to leave tomorrow afternoon and spend the night in Accra.  Kristine is going to go with us.  She is going to meet a missionary friend in Accra and go back to Togo with her for a couple weeks.  It will take a couple weeks to get the passport back.  When we get it back, we have to get Danny a visa so that we can cross the border into Ivory Coast before June 15.  That is when our visa extension expires.  Then, we will have to get Danny a new visa for Ghana.  We all got a one-year-multi-entry visa for Ghana except Danny because his passport would expire before the year ran out.  Paperwork is a hassle!

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
