Things are going surprisingly well - we are not crazy busy with tons of last minute must dos. Thank you God!
Aiden got to the end of a unit in both math and French so we're in a good place to stop schoolwork for a bit while we travel.
And he got to play with friends again all afternoon and evening! He came home so ravenous, he ate all the leftovers as well as what we had set aside for him!
It's going to be a bit of a shock to be with just family while we travel and settle for him... but we're glad to see him enjoying every last bit of time with them.
Dad met with yet another potential PhD advisor this morning, yet we are still without the final go ahead for him to officially start. But, it is looking much better than before, even though these last few have basically said, "Great idea. I'm not the best fit, let me introduce you to someone else."
We got in the last loads of laundry just in time this morning as the washing machine left shortly after it finished the last load!
And the bikes have all gone to new homes (save two that we will leave with a friend to be picked up after we leave).
In between all the other things of the day, Mom sorted and packed odds and ends and clothing.
We managed to have an hour of read aloud after supper.
Mom spent the evening collecting all our recyclables and garbage... an amazing amount considering how small and relatively empty our place is!
And at the very end of the day, Mom and Dad worked on weighing all the packed suitcases so we hopefully won't have any surprise overweight fees.
Hard to believe only 2 more days to go. I have been following your blog every day since you started posting the countdown. Deidra
