Moving Day

On Monday, October 3rd, we left Acadia and drove on route 2 over to White National Forest in New Hampshire.  It was bittersweet leaving but were soon enthralled with the beautiful new scenery.  The foilage had begun changing so we were excited.  I drove the car while Mark drove Miss JimB.  Janae and Stefan took turns doing school with me in the backseat while the other road with Mark.  Stefan  had a very successful math day and it was so cute when we were driving through this cute town, he piped up from the backseat and said, "I love you mama."  Later when we got settled into our new campsight, I found a truck picture and an I love you  mom picture on my pillow.  Janae and Stefan have both blessed Mark and I these past few weeks with little notes and pictures on our pillows which we will cherish forever.

Our new campsight was beautiful in New Hampshire.  We stayed at SugarLoaf I and to get there, we had to cross a bridge over this awesome river.  No one was at the campground.  We had it all to ourselves.  We cold camped here for a week (no electricity or water).  We used our generator and filled up our water every few days.

Janae and Stefan immediately found a path in the woods behind our  site and we walked through the woods to the river.  They were so excited to find this spot.

When we woke up on Tuesday, the weather was icky, rainy and cold.  We did school in the morning and then tried to do a hike in the afternoon but it was too wet so we drove in Vermont to check how the leaves looked there since they hadn't peaked in New Hampshire.

River we crossed everyday to get to our campground

A special memory tonight was when the children and I were romping in the camper.  Janae said, "this is the most fun."  She also said, "Mom you better linger in  your time with me because I'm 1/2 way to 18 and then I'll be gone."  Yes, how I know this is true and yes, in spite of the  ups and downs of this trip, this is what we're trying to do with you and Stefan is... linger.
