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.

Day 826. Last night I went to bed just after 11:30 pm. Tammy came rather early and stayed for a while, then Randy put her back to bed, and she came again later. Emmy came in the early morning hours and was soon up and leaving our bed with his sister to explore the apartment. It wasn't even 7 am yet, when I got up to make their breakfast.

Day 825. Last night I was thankful that everybody was sleeping and no one waking up, thank God. We headed to bed just before midnight, and it was a good but short night. Tammy came at some point, and Emmy came in the early morning hours, and then they were up really early today, way too early.
