1 year 5 days

And it was the third day I fed all three babies at lunch time. And I went back to bed for a little bit after. I got up when the babies needed me, and I joined them in their play area, while Randy made us omelets for lunch. I also ate it with them, which was a little challenging, as Emmy tried to get a hold of my food. I had the plate on the left, and just before he reached it, I moved it to the right, until he had crawled over there, which is when it moved back left. I succeeded in eating it all that way.

I ended up spending all afternoon in there with them, not getting anything else done, allowing Randy to work. He drilled two more holes into the concrete ceiling, which totally freaked out the babies again, but they were both in my arms already, while Sammy was luckily sleeping. It just woke him up, but didn't scare him.

I've got some cute shots of them today. Like this one of Tammy practicing for Mali, or Sammy licking Tammy's plate. Tammy also really wanted Daddy to share his food with her, but had to accept his no.

We got their birthday present out, and they all played with the xylophone and drum box a little, though putting the drumsticks into their mouths was still the preferred thing to do.

We had planned to go to church today, but with Tammy suspected to have the chickenpox, Randy thought it was better not to. At this point she has two spots; one has been there for days, and the other just appeared. I mixed some oils together that are supposed to help with it and applied them. Please pray for ALL their health!

They got pretty tired in the afternoon, and as the second meal had been relatively early, they also ate dinner a little earlier. Tammy didn't eat much as usual. I put them to bed, and was shocked when all three fell asleep fast and were already asleep by 5:15 pm! That's unheard of! Not taking a nap late in the afternoon paid off!

I made a phone call, and though I was at the other end of the apartment, it woke all three of them up just over an hour later. I gave them all milk, and soon they were asleep again. And I have fed them all since again, and it's not even midnight.

Tomorrow we're going back to our old apartment for one last time, to meet the owner and house management there for an inspection before returning the keys. I'm nervous as to how much we end up paying, besides the 800€ for the lost key. Please pray! The owner actually likes us, just from our email exchange, without ever having met in person. Thank you!
