goodbye goodbye (part one)

our whirlwind road trip started out quite chaotic. before we could hit the road we had to finish up with the movers, take coen to a post surgery follow-up appointment, rent a car, officially sell wes' car, pack and load the rental car, and then we could say some goodbyes. we still had a very fussy, cranky, clingy toddler on our hands, and the lack of photos proves that i was very occupied with him.

our first stop on the farewell tour was to drop off our "mama kitty" at fav aunt's house. we decided she wouldn't make the move with us, and fav aunt was very kind to take her and love her. we were pretty sure that she would freak out about the transition and take some time to adjust. um, we were completely wrong. the rest of our drive i was getting texts with pictures of how well she was adjusting. i think she is going to be perfectly happy

in her new toddler-free home.

.

after a few hour visit, we headed down to medford for a couple days. as long as i kept coen on his pain meds he was alright. in between the crankies he put on a pretty good show.

.

we spent 2 nights at papa george and gramma's house and we got to visit with some very special people. popsicles, playdough and hot tubbing helped get coen through the recovery of surgery. our next stop was to gami and pop pop's house in the snow. stay tuned...
