Day 1302. After an intense weekend and an early morning it was yet another early morning today. The alarm went off at 7:30 am. It was time for breakfast, then getting dressed, and at 8:30 we all left the house together. We walked to the subway and rode it for just two stops, then it was a short walk to...

Day 1301. It was 2 am before we fell into bed, over an hour after we had returned home from Upper Austria. This morning the alarm already went off at 7:30 am. Of course Emmy was already up at that time, even after the day yesterday. Sammy was soon up as well, while Tammy slept on a while longer.

Day 1300. We got up early, as soon as the kids were up, as we had to pack up and leave the apartment. While they were having breakfast, I already started packing. We all put Malian clothes on today, as I was teaching a seminar at the conference. Now it's a good thing that their Malian clothes were way too big last year, as they could still wear them.
