Day 867. Last night I went to bed at 11:30 pm. Emmy would not let me move him to his bed, so he was there with Randy. After a while Tammy came back as well, so they were both in our bed last night. At least in a better position, making it easier to sleep. They were up early, as always, but it was very unusual, when Randy got up before me, because Tammy insisted she needed a new diaper. I finally got up as well to make their breakfast. It was about 7 am. They already ate a lot of bread before we all sat down to eat. And they had butter on it, since there's no cheese, and really liked it. They also ate a lot of salami, especially Tammy, who kept eating it off the bread and then asking for another slice on her bread. They also had watermelon and pineapple.

Then I cleaned them up and dressed them, and we went to the living room to read a Bible story. Emmy is still not interested in joining us for that.

I went to the back to turn the computer on and work and was surprised to find that the internet was back. I guess they'd had a technical problem. Randy as well as the kids kept coming to me, and Emmy kept asking for Margit who comes some time after 9:30. He was very happy to see her, and they all went ouside to see the animals. Since it's Sunday, our kids were out there as well, and they were having fun together with them, staying outside longer than usual. It was unusual for me not to have any kids coming running to me all the way until it was time for me to get the food ready.

And that was later than usual as we were eating leftovers from yesterday.  At noon we sat down to eat, and I was surprised to see Tammy eat well today, when she didn't want any yesterday. Randy said that they had been so busy playing with the kids that they forgot to eat snacks. And so everyone ate well, plus watermelon, pineapple and yogurt. Then I took them to the bathtub to clean them up, before dressing them and putting them to bed. They had all been over the diarrhea, but now Tammy has it some, and Emmy has it bad again. I lay down with them. Sammy fell asleep fast, Emmy just after 1 pm, and for Tammy it took until 1:50, but by then I had already gotten up and returned to work.

Sammy woke up first, at 3 pm, and I took him to Randy. I lay down with Emmy who was also up and ready to go be with Daddy.  I stayed on the bed with Tammy, as I was really tired. That is until Randy and Emmy came in, and that's also what woke the girl up.

Emmy was complaining about his stomach hurting all afternoon. He and Tammy were sitting on my lap watching a live service, while I was working, when Emmy suddenly threw up. We gave him a suppository. He threw up one more time, in the beginning of dinner time, after drinking a big glass of tea. Surprisingly he was eating after that.

In the afternoon Esther came over to play with them, and of course Margit played with them the whole time, and worked hard to keep Sammy happy who always wants to be with Daddy. Randy started getting our suitcases ready. By the way, Sammy has just started saying "yes". Praise God! Until now he'd only say "no". He's really increased his vocabulary.

At 5:45 I went to the kitchen to get dinner ready, and at 6 pm we sat down to eat. The usual - bread with butter, omelet, watermelon, and we finished the pineapple, and in the end yogurt. Then I put them into the bathtub, where they were having fun until we got them out and ready for bed. By 7 pm they were in bed. Tammy and Emmy were hyperactive at first. It took a while for them to settle down. By 7:40 Emmy was asleep, but it took Tammy at least another 10 minutes. I got up not long before she was asleep for good.

I got myself something to eat, ate, and then went back to work. I felt like I had a cold this morning, my nose runny and feeling miserable, and I've been pretty tired, so I hope to go to bed early today.
