Day 1172. No alarm clocks this morning, besides Emmy who is the first one up at 7 am every morning. I was really tired this morning and had a very hard time getting up, even though it was already approaching 9 am, when Randy got up first. After breakfast I cleaned them up...

Day 1171. This morning I had to set my alarm for 8 am. It was really tough getting up. After breakfast I cleaned them up and dressed them and then took them down to read a Bible story with them, as we still had a few minutes until 9 am. We were downstairs, when the doorbell rang.

Day 1170. No alarm clocks this morning, as there was no swimming because of construction. And so it was 9 am before we got up, even though the kids had been up for a while, as usual, and they kept bugging me to let them watch videos. After breakfast, I cleaned them up and dressed them.
