Fortnight of Moving, Part 3

As I mentioned in a previous post, this recounting of our moving adventures is to record this time for my children, share photos with friends and family, and perhaps to assist other missionary parents in preparation for their own move.  If you do not fit into the above categories, please feel free to skip ahead.

After spending the week in Illinois with family (links at the bottom if you missed these posts), we returned to Indiana to pack and make our final preparations for moving. 

Here are a few photos from this (exhausting) process.

(I am missing some photos here, but maybe I will find them soon.)  Anyway, we went from the piles, to the rental van loaded with 13 suitcases, 4 carryon suitcases, and 4 backpacks.

We had a very nice farewell from our church family, with a surprise party for us, where the kids said goodbye to several of their closest friends.

We also had a wonderful 4th of July party with some dear friends, another opportunity to say goodbye.

On Friday, July 5, we headed to Chicago, and that is where I will begin part 4.
