It was harder than I thought it would be to say goodbye to Chopstick & Clementine this morning! They are staying with some friends and we'll get them back (at least that's the plan for now!) when we return. I know that Clementine knew something was up, but I think Chopstick was in total shock when we brought them to their new house. She got out of her carrier and started exploring while he was not going to get out of his carrier. I felt so bad for him! Hopefully the transition goes well for them!

Sarah, Chopstick, & Fannie (the Longhorn) having a cuddle in our room in the morning.
This is what Sarah & Clementine were up to this morning as Craig & I were getting ready for the day.
Clementine
I'm surprised that neither cat has discovered the blanket box before today.
Sarah lost steam on the stegosaurus so I just put it together un-finished so I could get it out of the kitchen! She seems happy to be "done" with it!
The girls thought it was pretty hilarious that Clementine was using this parasaurolophus as a pillow.
Chopstick.
A beading frenzy has begun in this house!
New shoes and some back-to-school clothes came in these fun boxes.
Craig came back last night (a day early: yay!). After multiple attempts with the front desk at the public school, Anna's teacher finally called me today to set up a time for us to go check out her classroom (Tuesday). The teacher had a child with SM in her class three years ago so she is familiar with Anna's situation which will really help, I think!
Hello, Chopstick.
Time to wake up, Henry!
Skype with daddy and painting.
New backpack excitement.
Figuring out the zippers.
Craig went to Amsterdam yesterday so we talked to him on Skype for a bit. Thankfully he won't be gone too long! The girls got their backpacks in the mail and were so excited about it they put all of the school supplies for Anna's class in their backpacks. I think Anna was relieved when I told her that she wouldn't have to carry a ream of paper with her to school every day and that I'd bring it in myself on meet-the-teacher night. (We still don't know who her teacher is and I'm starting to get frustrated since school is only two weeks away!)
The movers arrive (Henry is napping so the kids & I wait until he wakes up to get out of the way.)
The hospital where Henry was born. (I needed this photo before we leave so I made sure to get it today while the skies are sunny even though it was raining the day he was born.)
A playground we haven't been to for a long time was the perfect choice for our morning entertainment.
Henry was happy to get out in the fresh air, too.
Our afternoon entertainment was the D-Cube indoor play area (it started to rain around lunch time).
Anna loves the zip-line.
Sarah was a little too scared to do it.
She would always get about this far before letting go and then hopping the rest of the way off the mat.
Henry hung out here for a bit.
And then I let him stretch out here. One little girl was fascinated with him and I had a very hard time getting her to stop touching him.
Sarah on the slide and Anna on the zip-line.
They are finally almost done packing and have started loading the truck.
Clementine napping on the cushion-less couch (Sarah is using it as her mattress until we leave). The cats are pretty confused at what happened today but they had some good training for their carriers since we kept them in there all day while the movers were here.
Clementine didn't trust me when I tried to get a shot of her, but Chopstick just thought he found a good place to nap on the background paper.
