Day 2402. On Monday all the kids were back to school. They had to get up 3 hours earlier than the day before which was really tough for Tammy and Emmy; only Sammy always gets up early. Emmy had a little meltdown and didn't want to go to school but in the end they enjoyed their first day back at school, of course.

Day 2400. We had gone to bed at 1:30 am but of course Sammy was up early as usual, thought not quite as early, around 7:30 am. At 8 am Randy decided to get up and take the car back to the rental agency so he left a few minutes later. Sammy was on his tablet while the other two were sleeping on either side of me.

Day 2399. My alarm was set for 8:45 am but all the kids were up before that. At 9:30 am we left the house and drove the five minutes to church where we went straight to our table to talk to people. Just before the conference started at 10 am, Randy took the kids to their program, then returned to the sanctuary where we had 20 minutes of worship and then a short offering exhortation.
