Day 1408. Today was America's Independence Day, but unfortunately we did not do anything special. We had planned to go to what the closest town had planned by a lake nearby, but then there was a thunderstorm, and it rained hard, so we could not go.

Day 1407. And again they woke up later than yesterday today, and it was once again Sammy, who was the alarm clock. After breakfast we went to Grandma's house. My 9 am student canceled, but I had one at 10 am. Randy was running an errand and only returned once I was already teaching. At 11:30 we had lunch, then we returned to the house for their nap.

Day 1406. Every day the kids wake up a little later, and it has been Sammy who is our alarm clock. I had set my alarm for 8:30, but the kids were up at 6:30 am. After breakfast, we got ready and left the house early. We were going to Randy's daughter's church, and as we needed to go to a store and had plenty of time, we decided to go before church.
