In addition to moving this weekend, and catching a Red Sox game, and our 9th Walk for Hunger, we caught a Celtics game… the 4th game of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals to be exact. Watching a C’s W after the Walk, was a fun end to a great day.

9th Walk For Hunger
In addition to moving this weekend, and catching a Red Sox game, we did our 9th Walk for Hunger. Jeannette was only able to make 10 of the 20 miles this year. Josh graciously said that since Jeannette was walking the baby this year, her miles counted double.
We very much appreciate the support of all our friends and family. Here is a copy of our Thank You note we sent everyone.
Dear Friends and Family,
We want to send our sincerest thanks for your support this year (and past years) of our efforts to raise both awareness of the hunger issues in our neighborhoods and the funds to support the fight against hunger. This was our 9th walk (180 miles) with Project Bread and The Walk For Hunger.
Thank you for helping us raise over $1,300 in an effort to affect positive and systemic change to prevent hunger. We walked as a part of our church team this year, and as a team we raised over $25,000. This year, 43,000 people joined together to raise $3.6 million to provide food for 448 emergency food programs in our cities and towns. These funds will provide a hot meal or a bag of groceries for hungry families next winter.
Project Bread advocates change in our community and, while feeding the hungry now, attempts to implement changes to END hunger for the future. It is an organization we believe in and have chosen to support for the last nine years. We cannot express how grateful we are for your generosity and support in helping us strive for change in our community.
Thanks again for your support of our efforts!!
Josh, Jeannette & Our Future Walker(due August 21st)

Moving Day 1 & Big IKEA trip (1?)
Mama Jan came out this week to see Jeannette’s pregnant belly and to help with the move. She boxed up the apartment while we worked this week – such an indispensable help! Today we moved all the boxes from the apartment to the nursery in the new place. We still have a bit to do: like move furniture and the kitchen stuff. But we completely filled a cargo-sized ZipVan (which was awesome, by the way). We had pretty good parking karma for the move too, so that was nice. After unloading the van, we went to IKEA to buy some furniture. We were lucky they were sold out of one of the box springs we need – there is no way it would’ve fit in the van! We’ll head to IKEA again soon, I’m sure, but hopefully it won’t be as big a haul next time. We unloaded the IKEA stuff at the condo, and Gary & Daniel were out and about and kind enough to stop by help us get the couch up the stairs. All in all, a super productive day! Josh was a super man, we couldn’t have done it without Mama Jan’s help, and G&D coming through in the clutch helped make the day a success!

Close to finished!
They were supposed to be be pretty much done by the end of the day today. They almost are! The biggest things are that we still need the toilet, washer/dryer, sink and sink cabinet installed. The bathroom and laundry closet tile work is all done though! It looks awesome. The rest of the work to be finished is just smaller punch list-type items. They cleaned up the front bedroom and the nursery for us to move stuff into this weekend.
