Boy this seems like an incredible journey. It's a dream of mine to do this pilgrimage. Not in the cards at the moment, but I can only imagine how incredible it'll be for your group. Good luck!

Thank you, Jim! Not that long ago something like this would've been impossible for me, too, but now I'm doing it -- so I'm sure it will be in the cards for you someday, too, if it is important to you.

For sure. I mostly need to wait for my kids to be a little older. I'd like to bring them but at this point they're small enough that I'd end up carrying them haha.

Right, that was me, too, until quite recently!

Thank you!!

I did have a brief headline occur to me: “Woman Gives Birth While on Camino Pilgrimage…” but I don’t think my midwife would go for that!

But WHAT A BIRTH STORY!

I'm two months ahead of you Tessa, so bringing an infant might not be the best, either.

Congratulations, Haley!! Building a family is its own sort of pilgrimage, and a good one.

Thanks a bunch, Ruth. A girl after three boys, so it will be new territory!

Congratulations Tessa!!!! That is wonderful news :) We would have loved to have you along, and who knows, we may repeat the trip in the future so you can join in too! When I read your baby news here one of my first thoughts was, "I am so curious what name they will choose for the new little one" (love your other kids' names:)
