Day 2186. It was about 11:30 pm when I went to bed on our last night in the USA. The kids joined us during the night as usual. At 5:15 am my alarm went off, and we all got up and got dressed. Randy had already put all our luggage into the car and put the remaining items in. The kids had been really disappointed on Monday that they didn't get to see their half-sister and nieces.

Day 2184. It's been really hot in the room where we sleep so I haven't slept well, plus having a kid on each side of me and going to bed too late. The boys were up early, as usual, then Tammy got up. When my alarm went off at 7:50 am, I also got up. A few minutes later we all piled into the car and drove down the hill to Randy's mother's house.

Day 2183. I have not written anything these past few days. They have been spent with teaching and working for me, and playing hard with their nieces for the kids. On Thursday afternoon we drove the 45 minutes to the biggest town near here so that Randy could run some important errands. He dropped us off at McDonald's and went on his way.
