Day 2177. This night was less rough than the previous ones. Emmy was up first which also woke up Sammy. Emmy left, and I took Sammy's braces off and let him also leave the room. Soon Tammy was up as well, and eventually Randy got up. As for me, I got a little more sleep. After I had gotten up and had a bite to eat, we all headed down to the lake.

Day 2176. Once again it was a rather rough night with the kids. And my alarm went off nearly an hour earlier, at 8:15 am. The boys were already up at that point. I hit snooze a few times then I forced myself up. We had breakfast and got ready to leave the house which we did at 9:15 am.

Day 2175. It was a rough night last night. First Sammy constantly woke up and cried and Randy ended up lying down next to him, then Tammy was crying for the longest time because of growing pains in her legs. Then Emmy also wanted to come to our bed, where Tammy was already waiting for me, and I hurried up to get done and lie down between them in bed.
