Bonjour!

This morning, Joe went soul winning. They had some good visits.

Gilbert helped Nana with the dishes. Nana was standing on the stool to reach the sink. The counters in the kitchen are a bit high. Gilbert saw her on the stool, and he needed to be on the stool too. So, she gave him the stool, and he stood there and “helped” her. He ended up sitting on the counter with his feet in the sink. He was wet from head to toe. They had fun.

After the dishes were done, I was holding Danny. Gilbert wanted to sit with us. He didn’t want to miss out on anything.

After soulwinning, Joe brought Martin and Prince to the house to see the baby. They both held the baby for a minute. They said that they had never held a baby that was that small. They didn’t hold him for long.

After lunch, everyone took a nap except for Joe. Gilbert took a long nap. When he woke up, we all went into town. We took Nana to some little souvenir places by the port. There were some small children there who had a great time playing with Gilbert. Then, we went to Captain Hooks for supper.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
