Day 1450. Once again Sammy was up way too early, some time between 6 and 7 am. The noise soon woke up Emmy, and some time later also Tammy, and they all went upstairs, where they congratulated their niece for her birthday and said goodbye to them all. As for me, I got up and started packing. The kids then came downstairs before I was done, which made the task harder for me.

Day 1449. Once again Sammy was up early, at 6 am, and so soon everybody else was also up. Randy went upstairs with them, where their niece and nephews were getting ready to leave for their first day of school. That's when these great pictures with them were taken. After they had left, Randy gave them breakfast, but they're eating very little in the morning.

Day 1448. Once again Sammy was up way too early, some time after 6 am, and he made enough noise to wake up his siblings. Eventually they all went upstairs to have breakfast and then stayed upstairs to play. At 9 am I also got up and went upstairs and watched them play outside, while I was waiting for my food to be ready. The kids' 9-year-old niece does gymnastics and was showing them different things.
