I'm soooo upset that I missed a day of posting.:( I looked yesterday, didn't see it up yet (yeah,the computer thing). Anyway, I'm glad you got there safely. The dogs are having fun w.everyone watching them, & the boys meet went well. Don't worry about anything at home, just be safe & take in everything that you are doing. This is a once in a lifetime (Moo you promised) thing. Keep looking up & when you reach the top I'm sure you will see some angels. To all-enjoy & be safe. Love

I feel so behind...didn't realize we could start leaving messages. I added Tanzania to my phone so I can see what time it is where you are without having to do the math! You're prob starting to climb now! Best of luck, I know you both will make it to the top with our angel to guide you along the way! I love you both!! Be careful and I'll stalk you again in the morning!! Xoxo PS Molson and skyy enjoyed their 1st sleep over last night...I had no room in the bed!

Hello from Clarence Center!Torey, I miss you and can't wait until you reach the top.Like everything else in your life, you work hard and you accomplish what you set out to do, this will be no different. I have no doubt where Jacquie and TJ got their courage from. Marianne, have fun and make sure you keep Torey tethered to you, I would feel bad if you spent your climb asking "has anyone seen Torey?" To all the climbers- we are so proud of all of you and we wish you a wonderful journey.L

I'm so glad you made it there safely. But with our Angel watching over, was there ever any doubt?! Got up into the 40's today and rained so we lost a lot of the snow that kept you grounded Friday. Be careful, watch out for trees jumping out in front of you, and take care of each other. Love you both very much! Aunt Deee

For: Marianne

I finally figured out how to use this dang thing. Wouldn't work on mobile - go figure. You know I love my phones. It's windy here. I thought of you all day at work, especially when they played 'Africa'. I remember my promise to write you every day. I'm so glad you made it. I knew God would get you there. I believe in you. Please tell Pumpkins I love him.

For: Mooie and uncle Torey

It's so strange being on this side of the message board for kili! I remember at my hardest moments of growing pineapple trees on the way up the one thing I know I had to look forward to was posts from home! Rest assure we will all be stalking you, mom is already have an anxiety attack cuz she sucks at computers and can't figure out how to find the updates! Anyways, Take in every moment, laugh with one another about Ur loved ones u climb for and remember pole pole!! Love u both! Good luck to all

Thanks for the great pictures. You are becoming the Augusta of the new orphan generation. Remember to go slowly slowly in your progress up the mountain. I'm feeling disconnected knowing you both will be out of touch for the next 8 days.

For: Rick

Happy Birthday Rick I celebrated by working 8 hours of metal scrapping. Kelly came by late though and we took the baby for her first ski in the sled. She did great. Kelly has that sled now. Good skiing this weekend, but rain scheduled tomorrow. Then winter looks better. I scrap metalled again today but skied later. Tell Yusef hi for us. Have a safe trip. I had some conversations indirectly with your crew so I am glad the DC idea worked well. Over 30 inch
