Well, we are less than 3 weeks from departure date! In some ways that seems like a long time and in other ways it seems just around the corner!
Ellen is in Wisconsin again this week to be with her Mom and Dad. Her Mom (Joyce) is in the middle of chemotherapy for cancer. And this week her Dad (Bob) is having some eye surgery. Please keep them in your prayers.
The basement of our house really looks like a staging area. We have lots of school supplies to pack in addition to the P.E. supplies we have purchased. We have Soccer balls, kick balls, footballs and flag football belts, wiffle balls and bats, huge tug-of-war rope, parachute, etc. We also have started assembling our personal stuff --- like boots, bug repellent, permethrin to soak our clothes, bilingual bibles, flashlights, rain ponchos, batteries, blah blah blah. We plan to pack a bunch of this in "army duffels" and pack our personal stuff in our carry ons.
I am trying to fugure out how to pay our March bills while we are gone. I need to contact the various utilities and see how to do that. We will have someone staying at the house so I don't think I have to worry about frozen pipes or sump pumps, etc.
A special thanks again to all the people that have donated time and funds to help us in various parts of this trip!
Keep reading....I am sure the next 2+ weeks will get very exciting!! (and maybe a little stressful!) Sometimes I still can't believe we are doing this :)

Hello Millers....
Loved your card and reading about this trip...how exciting to have this experience for your family. What a blessing you all will be for the children, but more so, I'm sure, is what a blessing it will be for you all! To bad your travel plans don't bring you through Dallas! We'd love to see you! Alex could NOT look more like her mother, and I do believe I see some grey hair in that beard, Charlie!! Have a great time! I look forward to reading your updates! Love, Kristi
