Day 1591. This morning I had set my alarm for 8:15. At 9:30 we all left the house together to go ice-skating - or rather for Tammy and Emmy to have their second extra-curricular class during the Christmas holiday break. We took two subways and then walked to the ice-skating rink. On that walk I took this picture of Sammy holding hands with Tammy on his left and with Emmy on his right.

Day 1590. Yesterday was just a regular day at home for us. The kids were playing, while I was doing office work. Today all the shops were open again. And so Randy left right away in the morning to go pick up 360 diapers for Sammy that the insurance was paying for the first time ever. It was after 10:30 before he got back.

Day 1588. At noon Randy came back upstairs with the kids. I had fallen asleep while working and was woken up from the noise. It was time to go to the kitchen to make our New Year's Eve cheese fondue. Last year we had eaten it at night, but this year we decided to eat it for lunch.
