Day 1692. We had to leave the house at 10 am, and all five of us, but we also had to dress up today. Tammy has a lot of nice dresses, and we picked one and also dressed the boys nicely. It was going to be a hot day, so it was shorts and no jackets. We took the subway to the end and then walked to the music school, where we arrived on time.

Day 1691. My student had to cancel both her lessons yesterday morning and this morning. I had another lesson scheduled at 11 am yesterday, but the new student didn't show up. I taught from 2:30 to 3:20 pm yesterday, then I got the kids ready to leave the house for their dance class. I stayed home with Sammy, while Randy took them there.

Day 1689. Randy is often up before the alarm goes off at 7:15, because Sammy is the first one up and is up early. Emmy then is the next one up. Tammy and I stay in bed as long as possible. When Randy had breakfast ready at 7:45, I encouraged her to get up and go have breakfast as well, though that's hard for her right after getting up.
