Josh - hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Santa didn’t visit our house… He said he was waiting for your return. No babies yet, but should be one soon. Best of luck tomorrow as you climb to Camp 2. We are loving the pictures and blog each day. We are so very proud of you. Can’t wait to see you at the top. Sending lots of love, strength, determination, warmth, energy, and warm hugs your way.
We miss you!!! Love -Jess

Merry Christmas to all you trekkers. Josh it was so nice to hear your voice. I know you all are having a wonderful time and what an experience to will be able to share with us when you get home. We went to Mass and spent Christmas Eve with Lily’s family and truly missed you not being there but knew you were there in spirit. Have a great and blessed day today and continue to be safe. I can’t wait to see you and a picture of you all the day you summit. Lots of love of this Christmas Day. love mom and dad

Cindee— Hope you’re getting acclimated, resting, and enjoying the view! Since you’ve been out a few days, thought you and the group would appreciate some light news from this week. For starters, Robin Wright (Princess Bride actress) just got engaged to boyfriend Ben Foster… Donations have exceeded $100,000 to help a NY blind man keep the guide dog who rescued him from a potentially fatal subway fall….Former NBA star Dennis Rodman arrived in North Korea on Thursday to meet leader Kim Jong Un and finish plans to bring 12 ex-NBA players to Pyongyang for a January exhibition for the leader’s birthday….. and Justin Bieber says he’s “retiring” (yay!). How’s that for an update? Hope you have a great weekend!
Hugs, Rebekah
