Day 1053. As usual they were up early, and I stayed in bed as long as possible. It was after 8:15 before I could make myself crawl out of bed to make breakfast. After cleaning them up and dressing them, we went downstairs, where we read a Bible story together. Then they wanted to draw, and Sammy wanted the piano, and after setting it all up, I went upstairs to work.

Day 1052. It was only 6 am, when Emmy got up and got his sister up. At 7:45 we all got up. I woke up with a bad headache and was terribly exhausted all day, until the evening. I guess yesterday was a little bit too much for me.

Day 1051. What a long, busy day! The kids were up early as usual, but somehow they opened the balcony door, which I didn't think they could do. I fell back asleep and woke up at 8:15, noticing that they were on the balcony.
