We are finally all together!

The Vosseler's and the Buchsbaum's have arrived and our group is now complete. We have just enjoyed a delicious baked ham dinner and are looking forward to brownie sundaes for dessert. We've also met with our work groups and are ready to begin at 8am tomorrow morning. Woo hoo!!!

Currently, we are assigned to 2 work sites. Hopefully, when Justin sees that we have mad skillz (!), he'll have more for us to do.

Word is that there are chiggers afoot. We haven't seen any yet but are quite sure that if anyone is going to get bitten, it will be Julie! Stay tuned for more on that front.

Speaking of Julie, she has promised to blog here later so you'll here from someone other than me...phew!

And oh, by the way, I meant to mention how green our drive here was. Through PA and western MD, the rolling hills looked like lush heads of broccoli just waiting to be picked. We were surprised at the greenness because there doesn't seem to be much water there. But for whatever reason, the trees were so vivid and alive. Despite our traffic troubles, the scenery was really beautiful.

As I write, many of the "boys" are playing basketball, while some folks read and others chat. The energy level is high and I think that folks are ready to get to work.

Oh, and I've heard that Beth might let us adopt a WV kitty to keep Sebastian company. Keep your fingers crossed!
