Here in Mystic, CT

     Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!  We did it!  We actually made it to this day.  Through all the very difficult goodbyes, the tireless sorting through all our belongings (99% done by me), the exhausting boxing of all the stuff worth keeping, the sleepless nights, the losses of appetites...
And here we are.  Phew!  This day has felt like three days in one.
     We rose early, and readied ourselves as best we could.  I brought the kids next door to Esther's house where she had volunteered to keep and feed them for as long as it took.  Such a relief knowing the kids were eating well, relaxed, playing games, and watching some wholesome T.V..  Scott and I watched as the biggest truck I have ever seen, successfully parked on our little street (no small feat).  I then took over dog duty while Scott kept an eye on the movers.  Zevon and I took one last cold walk around Nahant, and then we stayed huddled in what was Ethan's room binge watching "Jessica Jones" (thank you Cathy!)
     When all was packed, we gathered the kids and got in that van ("The Red Sled") so fast!  Ready, Set, Go!!!!!!  Through the snow in MA, through the snow in RI, through the snow in CT...
     Kids are now swimming in the hotel pool with Scott and Zevon and I are resting in the silence of it all.

Big, right?

Wow.

These guys are stacking artists.

Thank you to Esther for keeping kids happy and out from under foot.

To new beginnings!

To happy endings!

The Red Sled.

"Let's get outta here."

Just me and Z.
