Congratulations to Mark on the new job. And best wishes to all of you on the move. Here's hoping that Ellie behaves herself on the 3-day car trip. Sounds like you've made a wise decision to temporarily move into an extended stay and take your time deciding on your next house. With such a quick move, the extended stay arrangement makes lots of sense.
I know that you've anticipated this move for quite a while and had your PA house on the market. Did you find a buyer or will you be leaving with your house still on the market?
