Day 1890. It's a Monday, and it's the first day of the one-week fall school holiday here in Austria. It also was the day that Emmy had been looking forward to for weeks - the beginning of his soccer camp. Because there hadn't been enough registration at Emmy's location, they had organized a shuttle to take the few kids to another location.

Day 1889. Last night we turned our clocks back, but instead of sleeping longer, the kids got up even earlier, and so did we in the end. I was actually up before Randy and gave Tammy and Emmy some cerial to eat. And then Emmy wanted to practice the piano already, so we went downstairs for that. I love how motivated he is. Tammy didn't want to pratice at that point and ended up never practicing at all today.

Day 1888. It was  Saturday, and it was a holiday, our national holiday, so the kids had no classes today. And I was amazed that they all slept longer than usual, even Sammy. Randy got up an hour later than usual, at 8 am, to make breakfast. Soon I also got up as we were all gonna go downtown for what they had set up there for the day.
