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.

Day 1050. Soon it's midnight, and I'm exhausted, but what's new. I'm just thankful that they fell asleep pretty quickly tonight and have been sleeping since. This morning Emmy was up by 7:30, and by 8 am we all got up.

Day 1049. Emmy was up before 7 again, and we got up before it was 8 am. After breakfast we went downstairs and opened a new Bible to start with the creation story. It has a lot of text and not as many pictures, so we'll see whether they're old enough for that.
