Luke had to fly back to England for a week to finish up the dirty work of cleaning out our storage. It was a sad and messy trip and I'm really glad I didn't have to do it. Although Luke and I did skype every morning and I watched as he went box by box through all our stuff and I had to decide what to keep and what to give away. It was a sad week. I hope I never have to do that again.

Luke's new job gave him some money to help us sent back 13 boxes of stuff. Each box cost about $100 to ship so we had to make sure that we filled it with more than $100 of value to make it worth it. We were able to send back things like our nice, expensive sheets, our hiking backpacks, our mementos, etc. About two weeks after Luke's trip all of the boxes were delivered. It was like Christmas all over again. Jack didn't even remember most of the toys that Luke had packed.

Jack is most happy to have his Wii back. I think I am most happy for my food processor. It has been over two years since I've used it. I shipped it with us to Switzerland, but once we got there we realized we could never use it because of the power supply. So it sat unused for two years, and now I finally have it back again!
