While the days have still been 90 degrees and the storms with tornadic activity, our summer is at its end. We moved out of our apartment in Minneapolis this week. Two van loads of stuff went into storage and we filled our van a third time, to the brim, with all the stuff we need for our fall travels. It was so full we could hardly see the two boys in the back from where we were sitting up front. The upside was that when Cole threw a fit his screaming sounded pleasantly muted.
We are currently in Royalton, Minnesota with Maggie’s parents killing time until we head to Oklahoma Thursday the 19th. Our van will hopefully be less crowded for that long trip as we’ll be leaving a few more things here and possibly attaching something to the rear of our mode of transportation (mini-van) to carry a few things.
The summer was short, but profitable, and we’re sorry we didn’t get to spend as much time with you as we would have liked. We’ll be back in Minnesota in November and will be continuing to raise support until we go to Papua New Guinea, (Lord willing summer 2011). The kids are growing more accustomed to being homeless and behaved tolerably during the three days of hectic packing and moving this week. We pray the behavior will continue (and even improve) for the long journey to Oklahoma, and then Pennsylvania, and then back to Minnesota.
Have a great day and God bless!
