All is right in the world again...

This afternoon, John arrived! Ethan is beside himself and is permanently glued to his daddy's side. We will spend the next week packing up the last of our things, saying goodbyes and taking in as much of the Montana beauty as we can. Our plan is to load up the U-Haul and leave on Saturday morning. I'll be in touch as I'm able. Thanks so much for all of the prayers. It is so wonderful to be back together again. We were in a store this afternoon, and when John hugged me, Ethan put an arm around each of our legs. John swung Ethan up into the cart and I said "our family is all together again." Ethan sweetly replied "well, one of us isn't here, but we are still a family." Ah, yes, the Ellie girl's presence will always be missed. But we carry her with us continually, and when the the three of us are together, our family is complete.
