Hi Mommy: Don't listen to her..I'm being good, too! (you know how she is!) Miss you, Love Molson

For: Mommy Moo

Hi Mommy! How are you doing? We are fine-having fun with all the aunt sissys coming over-Uncle Jeffy even stayed over! We are behaving (well I am-you know how Molson is!) Don't worry about us, we are having fun--smell you later! Love Skyy

For: Torey

Hi "DAD", I miss you and I miss our walks. "Mom" takes me out for walks but gets cold too fast and we have to go back inside after only a little while:( Please come home soon so we can go back to our nightly outings. Be careful, have a fun time and remember-many small steps lead to wonderful journeys. Love, Shelby

"If you BELIEVE in something, BELIEVE in it all the way". Walt Disney and I send this message to you to remind you that anything is possible if you BELIEVE with all your heart. There is nothing you can't acomplish, no matter what the obstacles,if your mind can dream it and your heart can BELIEVE it. I love you Dad and Marianne, I will be waiting for you at the top of the world. Love "TINK'

For: Chris

What a way to start the day! I am sure you approached this challenge with the same attitude as always, like a "double dog dare"! What's another 2.2 mile hike anyway, in the grand scheme? Hope your first day on Killi was a good one, looking forward to each day's news. Love, Jen

For: Marianne, Torey & all Climbers

I hope you have a great climb today and get some much needed rest when you can. I am in awe of all of you, never mind the climbing, but not showering for 9 days??? OMG!!We are all back home sending you our strength and prayers. Never stop BELIEVING! Love, Me

For: Uncle T and Moo

Have a great day. Thinking of all of you starting the climb. Well wishs and love to everyone on their journey. BELIEVE!

For: Agnes and Tom

Good vibes heading your way from snowy New England. Climb smart, be well, and have fun. Am enjoying the trek vicariously. Thanks! Brian

For: Marianne

Finally got this on mobile. We're some crazy time difference apart so it looks like two messages today. Crazy day for you, eh? Monkeys scare me. I've got news: Westminster Best in Show: Affenpinscher. Reserve: OES. Yukon Quest: Allen Moore wins after 10 days on the trail followed by Hugh Neff. There are still mushers on the trail, one is lost but her tracking device has her moving they're giving her time to find it again so not to disqualify. Keep Calm & Climb. Tell Pumpkins I love him.

For: Moo & Uncle Torey

Hi!! Sounds like your 1st day started a little earlier than expected! You can handle it Moo...you're the only crazy person I know that does Insanity twice AND P90X! This is a walk in the park for you (or rainforest...) Cant stop thinking about all of you! Like Raegs said, it's something I could NEVER do! So I am very inspired by all of you! Stay safe, stay strong and keep BELIEVING!! Good luck with day 2, hopefully no bumps in the road tomorrow! Love you both!! xoxo

For: Joyce and Dave

Hi, I am just looking at this website for the first time. It is so nice to be able to follow your trip a little. Sounds like everything is going pretty well. New tents and chairs! The exciting news from South Dakota is that I have become a mother!!! To a 12-year-old cat. We call him Gato. He is the perfect first pet for me (not counting all the ones I had when I lived with you). Have fun and enjoy the warmth...love, EMIKO

For: Dad and Marianne

Just getting ready for bed here which means your going to be up soon for day #2. Hope you enjoyed your first day on the mountain. I'm sure Rick and the gang are taking good care of you all. Things are good back here no worries. Sorry about the truck and road, but as the great Dr. Emmett Brown once put it, "roads....where you're going you don't need roads"

For: Kili 2013 Gang

The secret is not overcoming doubt but in not letting doubt even get a foothold to begin with! Those were words that helped me last year. I gave a Kili presentation to a group last night. Great way to celebrate my Kili Anniversary and re-read my journal. Habari Yusuf and all the rest that make our dream come true! Bob Ames

For: Everyone

From a fellow JOI '08, keep on trucking and enjoy every minute. It might be hard at times but you are all strong on the inside and out. Trust me when I say it is worth it once you are at the top. Good Luck. Pole Pole.

For: Each and Every one of you Climbing...

I have lit a candle of hope, and my daughter Alyssa and I are watching your progress, praying for you, and sending positive energy to you all.

For: Torey and Marianne

Sorry about the truck! Although walking the 2.2 extra miles was probably less treacherous than driving it!! Enjoy the beautiful rainforest and the monkeys! We're thinking about you guys and everyone there. You're in good hands with Rick, Yusef and Mohammed. And, I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little jealous that you get to eat Raziki's cooking all week! Have a fun day 2!

For: Marianne & Torey

GREAT TO HEAR FROM YOU!! What do you mean you had to leave the truck in the ditch and hike?...where is AAA when you need them? :)LOL Hope you can rest and sleep well at night, I know it will continue to get more difficult at you go. Our thoughts and prayers go with all of you to the top!! Have a wonderful adventure, stay safe! Love, Me omg! either this post has gone thru 3x's or I can't figure out the stupid code at the bottom --sorry, computer thing!
