We worked hard all weekend getting the truck packed up, but weren't able to get it all done on schedule. We got a lot of help from the folks, sister Angie (watching the boys all day today while Nana watched them for us Saturday), and two neighbor boys from the apartment complex. I was amazed at their exuberance to help and with seemingly tireless effort. The nice part now is we're down to mostly just furniture and we still have at least half the truck bed empty to fit all of it in. Tomorrow marks our last day of DSL service, so we will be officially disconnected from the Internet for the time being, at least until we find a connection on the road somewhere. What the above means is we're spending Monday gathering the remaining odds and ends together and loading up the large furniture (No grand pianos...yet - There's always room for my cello, though). We downsized last night from an old 27-inch TV to a six-inch black and white from the 1970s. We will then spend the remainder of the day cleaning, vacuuming, steam cleaning the carpets, etc., and will then spend ONE more night sleeping on the floor this time and depart Seattle early on Monday morning. We just have to stop off in Tacoma to pick up brother Andrew's stuff and will then be on our way (once and for all). Hope all who read this are well and have a pleasant week while we're on the road.

Jim,
Even though I realize you must be a little frustrated (or more) because of the last 3 days, I can't help but believe that deep down inside you are excited and having a good time. Keep up the good work!!
Love,
Dad
Hey guys! Just want you to know that we are thinking of you lots! It was great seeing you all on Tuesday before you left on this lofty journey.
Heard you had some troubles with the truck that night. Hopefully all was found well in Snoqualmie and that your travels have not had any further "surprises"! We think of you often, more times in a day than can be counted. Nick was sure you were on the road the whole time he was awake today, and even in the middle of the night last night, he zombied into our room to talk about your journeys...I think he was dreaming, because he was pretty easily redirected into his bed and stayed there sleeping until the morning. I thought that was pretty cute actually! How are Aaron and Daniel faring so far?
Anyhow, we love you and are hoping the best for you all. Can't wait to get your next posting.
Love,
Sis!
