March '09 Update

So much has happened since our last update.  We are now at 86%!  Yeah!  That doesn't leave us with much more to raise.  We are packing up the house and selling a lot of things in preparation for moving to Keith's mom's house at the end of the month.  Our goal is to be leaving sometime in late April or so.  With the way things have been going lately, it may be sooner than that.  We just want to be prepared so that we can leave at a moment's notice.

The kids are getting really excited.  We've already packed up their rooms.  I think it was a little hard for them to get rid of a few things, but moving always gives you a chance to pare down.   We are wanting to take as many of their favorite toys as possible.  We don't want them to ever be bitter about moving overseas.  But overall, they are really ready to go.  So are we!

My (Jaime's) mother is doing much better.  She has started on a trial medicine which seems to be benefitting her.  She is now doing much of what she did before she was diagnosed.  I think she is really glad that she can be more independent now.

William is completely back to normal.  Yeah!  He is running around and acting like his old self again.  We take him back to the doctor on March 18th to see if he needs the second surgery or not.  We are really "hoping" that he will not.  Please be "hoping" with us.  

I guess that's a sufficient update.  Hopefully our next update will be to tell everyone that we are leaving!
