Day 1183. Yesterday was a Sunday, and the plan was to go to church in the afternoon. However, Tammy had a fever and felt pretty bad all day, so there was no going to church. Staying at home allowed me to write a long overdue email newsletter.

Day 1181. Yesterday I taught one hour in the morning and three in the afternoon, and Christine from the Caritas came from 1 to 6 pm, and the kids had lots of fun with her. This morning I had a lesson at 10:30, so I did not set an alarm. Emmy is the best alarm clock anyway, and he was up pretty early today.

Day 1179. No alarm this morning. But Emmy was up very early, and I tried to encourage him to sleep some more and let his siblings sleep. Eventually they woke up as well, and soon I could hear them all talk. At 9 am we also got up, made breakfast, and after breakfast we cleaned them up and dressed them.
