Quick update

Thank you for your prayers. We got the van back on Wednesday afternoon, but as Gary was driving it home the engine light came on and he had to limp it home. So on Thursday he took it back to the auto shop, had to wait an hour or so for the owner to come back. They told him that he had to take it back to the place where the transmission was rebuilt. So Gary went back there and waited another couple of hours for them to fix a bad switch. So finally, Thursday afternoon we had a working van again.

The van saga (and the snow) put us a little behind schedule so today Gary and some friends were finally able to take the furniture to a lady and her neighbor who needed it. It feels good to have the house empty of most of the furniture. Slowly, but surely we are getting through the long 'to do' list.

The worst thing about having the house empty is that it echos terribly in here. As you can imagine the kids love to hear their voices, even louder than normal. The best thing about having the house empty of furniture is that the kids are enjoying 'camping' indoors. They get to sit on the floor to eat and they brought their mattresses into the family room to camp by the fire. No snakes or bugs with this kind of camping!!
