Wow, Jennie, it sounds like so much fun. How nice that the team members cook. Suzy and Sharon said that they are thankful for the cooks. I hope you are eating and drinking enough. What's your job? Do you each have jobs or do you just all pitch in. I'm wondering if you are receiving my daily emails. I hope you are. All is well here, not much news. The foot is healing from surgery and the girls are fine. Hang in there and have a blast. Keep treking. Love, your little sis, Susie and family

Your fame increases daily. Many, many people in Rochester are following your exploits on the website and cheering you on as you get closer and closer to the summit. I certainly hope I'm still here to welcome you home when you return to Rochester. Today we showed our house to a lovely young Chinese couple -- he, a neurologic surgeon at Strong -- who seemed to like it quite a lot. Of course, I'm conflicted about the whole thing, so I don't know if I want them to buy it or not. I'll be sure to leave you a forwarding address, though. (Just joking, I hope!) It's cold and beautiful here, and we're getting ready to toast you with a good glass of Champagne when you reach your goal. Be careful. We're all rooting for you.
Love,
Susan

hey sal.....i've been keeping up with you. heard you on the message. miss you tons. sorry to hear about ry. hope he's alright. got your email. check yours if you can. can't wait to see you. MUAHHH! loves you Beta

This is such a wonderful opportunity that crossed your path and for a cause that you hold so dear to your heart. If you get any closer in height you'll be shaking hands with everybody. I'm sure we all await the many, many , many etc. PICTURES you'll be bringing back. I am very proud of you for doing this and wish your safe return home. Bless you Carolyn

We know that you are nearing the summit and wanted you to know that we are rooting for you. I'm sure that your many months of training are paying off and as the climb becomes harder, continue to focus on how incredible it will be when you are standing on the summit! We are so proud of you! You are truly an inspirational for all of us. We love you!
Rachel, Jeremy, Daniel, Joshua, Rebecca and Miriam

Hi cutie!!

You must be seeing some incredible sights- can't imagine!! It is cold, snowy, and windy here- but sunny! My parents have had problems accessing this site from Phoenix, so they have asked me to send love, hugs, and prayers for a continued safe and successful climb! Talked to your mom today- sounds like Ry is on his way home, much to their relief! Look forward to hearing that he is on the ground!! Keep on keepin' on, girl- you rock!!!! Love you lots!!

We miss you soooooooooooooooooo much!
Bridie cleaned up the house yesterday because she said she couldn't stand looking at it.
Jack says he misses your "delicious" meals.
Maeve says she misses your hugs and kisses. xoxo
We will be watching you tomorrow evening.
Good luck - we love you<3
From the family.

Loved the audio today. Very upbeat and thankful. :) It would be nice to hear your voices soon. And get in front of the camera once in a while. So, tomorrow is the big day -- the summit. I can't be more excited for you. More people are reading about your climb since I emailed the links, but I didn't realize we had so many family members that are computer shy. We are ALL thinking about you daily and praying for your safety. Auntie Jane wrote a message -- did you get it? Took her a long time to do this and she is very happy she finally accomplished a note. Pumpkin and Miu miss you -- especially Pumpkin around dinner time will walk into the living room and take her seat on the couch. For the first few days she meowed while taking that seat, but she doesn't anymore. She just curls up and sleeps. Miu is Miu -- naughty and too curious but lots of fun.

Hi Bonnie,
Your "Locks of Love" and JOI haircut escapade is up on YouTube! When you get back to civilization maybe you can watch it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kX7VW6rdprE

Mom says, "Bonnie, Get back home here and stop all this foolishness so I can stop worrying about you!"

Everyone have a wonderful, awesome day tomorrow. Remember we will be laughing you up the mountain!

Didn't know it would be this exciting just following your trip vicariously!

Hi Bonnie,
if it's not too late can you add Terry Martin to the banner? Also if there is another flag and you can manage it, it would be nice to have his name on a flag. If not it's OK. Thanks,
Dale
