Day 1637. There's no sleeping in with our kids. Sammy was up first, bright and early, then Emmy, then Tammy. Eventually Randy got up to give them breakfast, and later he took them downstairs to play. I turned my computer on to continue working on the financial report for last year. At 10:45 I already had to go to the kitchen to make lunch.

Day 1636. This morning my alarm went off at 8:15. Of course Sammy was up early, as usual, then Emmy was up, and Tammy last. Eventually Randy got up and made breakfast for them. Then I got up and got ready for my 9 am student. Randy took the kids downstairs before then and returned upstairs with them just as I was finishing my lesson at 9:50.

Day 1634. On Tuesday the kids had their ice-skating class again. They only have two more Tuesdays left this winter. Yesterday they had the afternoon off and played downstairs, while I had students. This morning the alarm went off 15 minutes earlier than usual. Randy got up to make their breakfast, while Tammy continued sleeping next to me.
