wow.

I can't believe I leave for Africa tomorrow morning. I never in a million years would have predicted this! I am very excited to have this opportunity. Am I nervous to leave the boys? No, I am not. The boys will be spoiled while I am away. Grammy and Steve will be with them, along with numerous other friends!

I hope to take a lot of pictures, and come back with stories to tell! Off to get a few more things done before I leave...but not before I post a picture of my suitcase.

This gem was 2$ at the goodwill, and not to mention the bumper sticker it came with! I did take the sticker off as Steve assured me it was a bit obnoxious and I did want my suitcase to make it to Africa. But how do I drag it through the London airport you might ask? Why with Saylor's leash of course! It does have wheels but didn't come with a strap...so we invented our own. Too bad I didn't get a picture of Jack dragging the suitcase, Henry following behind, and the dog wondering what in the world was going on with her leash! All this craziness is going to make me really appreciate being able to sit and read a book on our long flights!

Oh yes, and the boys were given not 1 but 2 large boxes and they have been a variety of things over the past few days, but my favorite by far was Jack's office.

And one boy couldn't be in the box without the other one wanting to join in...
