Setting departure dates...
The plan is for me to fly out on either Friday, July 28 or Saturday July 29, and to be at the factory ready to go (e.g. strung out from the jet-lag) on August 1. Ceil needs a bit more time to wrap things up at her job, so we're planning for her and the kids to leave Seattle on August 12 or 13. If I can get our travel people to sort it for us, we'll plan the flights so that Ceil and the kids get a few days in NY to say good-bye to her family.
News about the house...
Tonight we met a terrific family that's agreed to rent our house while we're gone. We couldn't have asked for a better situation -- they've got two young kids, and need a place to stay as they move back from San Francisco and search for a home to buy. And after all the uncertainty we felt, fielding offers from folks who could sign on for two or three months, or who'd take the place for six, but couldn't pay the asking price, this is a huge relief.
These folks need to move in on August 2, so this accelerates our plans a little more. The Piepers have come to the rescue and agree to host Ceil and the kids between then and their departure.
Thanks to everyone who helped us with referrals and recommendations as we've search for a family to rent our place!
Stay tuned...

Andy & Ceil - this is great... what a way to "keep in touch." We are excited for you and the kids and will look forward to many great stories upon your return. This is my first time "blogging" so I hope I'm doing it right :-)
Love, Katie (& all the Piepers)
