And So It Begins...

Jackie, Andrew and his friend Sawyer leave for Kenya tomorrow morning leaving Micah, Howie and me with our dogs, Murray and Buddy and our cat Ziggy and our business, The Hungry Moose Market and Deli for 5 weeks.  The last 5 weeks of our lives have been more than dedicated to preparing them for their trip (check out their blog Andrew and Sawyer Kickin' It in Kenya). Jackie lost her voice last week, and just mentioned as she is making pancakes for Howie that she thinks her voice has permanently changed, my reply, " I don't know who you are anymore."  

Thinking back to the day we met 23 years ago, I can't recall being apart from each other for this long, nor away from Andrew for this long in his 16 years...
