Day 829. Last night it was 12:45, when I headed to bed. Of course, even though they had slept quietly all evening, which I was really thankful for, that ended right after I had gone to bed. And so I was kept awake for a while, by kids waking up, wanting milk.

Day 828. The kids were having a rough night. Sammy cried frequently all night long, probably because of a foreign bed and the heat, as our AC wasn't working. Emmy and Tammy climbed into bed with us, and we let them, but I also put them back a few times.

Day 827. Last night we were still pretty busy getting everything ready for our departure, and getting the apartment ready for our 2-month absence. I also kept waiting for our approval to travel, which was supposed to come by 7:30, but it didn't.It actually came 17 hours after I sent the documents in, when we were already in Paris.
