Moving On...

Can't believe it's that time again, two years in DC has come to an end.
Our movers had an easy time moving us because we still hadn't unpacked all of our boxes from moving in! (Ok, not really... but it felt that way to us!). Where did the time go??

We had three sets of movers over five days... divided up between the normal movers, the movers for expedited arrival, and the movers to put things for us into storage.

The kids say goodbye to our stuff...
Adayla's last day at school...
As long as Binx found a warm spot in the sun...
... he was just fine!
Can we just pretend sometime that we're moving, but then not really move? The house looked great when we left...
One last picture...
...before departing for the next adventure.
Take care DC friends... we love and appreciate you. Thank you for making the past two years yet another incredible experience for us! We'll see you again in a couple of years!!

Happy Birthday Tally! (updated)

Sweet little Tally is five years old today... Happy Birthday Tally!
There's something about Tally's birthday that just seems to be a "moving" time for us.

Morgan just sent pictures from Tally's birthday party in Shanghai...

Huge thanks to friends Bryant and Elizabeth for making the magic happen. Bryant took all the kids out to the park while Elizabeth and Morgan decorated. The result? A surprised Tally when she came in!

Who wouldn't be totally thrilled to be surprised by this:
A happy girl, indeed...Happy Birthday to our 5 year old!
