Bonjour,
Danny was the first one up this morning to check on Thumper. Bonnie did not want to wake up this morning.
Joe took the kids to school. Then, he took the lawnmower to a repairman.
Martin called Joe this morning and asked if he could come over to learn how to make pizza today. He has been wanting to learn for a while. He bought mozzarella cheese and came about 11:30. I showed him how to make pizza. We ate lunch about 1:30.
Joe and Martin went to pick the kids up from school. When they got home, the boys wanted to fly their kites. Joe and Martin helped them. Because of the hills around us, the kites kept taking a nose dive. But, they had fun anyway.
Joe and Martin went to get the lawnmower. It wasn't finished yet. So, Joe waited for it and then took Martin home.
Tonight, Bonnie said, "Mom, someday I'm going to be a mom, right?" I said, "Yes." Gilbert said, "You'll have to marry someone first. Then, you'll have lots of babies." Bonnie said, "Yes, maybe 1,000." Gilbert said, "I'm not getting married, Mom!"
The power went off. We broke out the glow sticks. Just as Joe fired up the generator, the power came back on. We had called the power company, and they said it was load shedding; but thankfully it wasn't.
We now have our prayer letters on our blog site. You can go to the following link to see the prayer letters. You can also subscribe to receive the prayer letters by e-mail. We just posted February's letter yesterday.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
