Russ, me, Sweet Pea, MB, and M leaving for a fabulous dinner at The Herbfarm .

We are home from a road trip to Seattle and it was full of adventures such as mountain passes being closed requiring us to spend the night at a truck stop motel, Sweet Pea’s medical school interview, a very special dinner with dear friends at The Herbfarm, collecting stool samples from our four youngest (will we ever conquer giardia?), and a nice time with my family. We left one day early in an attempt to beat an incoming storm and then had to delay our return by one day due to even more snow and avalanche danger requiring Snoqualmie Pass to remain closed all day.

I’ll write more soon, but here are a few photos:

Driving home with only five of our children, the others stayed home. Sweet Pea flew to an interview in CA and then to Seattle. We met up with her after her interview at the University of Washington.

Tomorrow will be spent pulling the house and family back together after being apart since last Wednesday. I think I have my work cut out for me.
