Leaving on a Jet Plane

I'm sitting in the airport with Mike and my parents waiting to board our plane. We dropped the kids off this morning at a friend's house. I managed not to cry in front of them, which is nothing short of a miracle. We are blessed with wonderful friends and family who will be taking care of Micah, Samuel and Mary Kate while we are gone. The kids will be able to spend every night at our house sleeping in their own beds. Thanks to all of you who are helping us. One of my friends has even lent me her laptop so that we can stay connected while we are away. I am overwhelmed by people's generosity. I will try to check in again from Tokyo.
