We went back to the house we're buying and spent some time inside measuring and rephotographing. It doens't seem like a strange place anymore. It's real... even though the move is sort of far away.
Becca measuring the back fence to see if she might be able to squeeze through.
Sarah has got to be just about the best kid in the whole world.
She found a dirty old nasty Pooh bear toy at the zoo and insisted on finding its rightful owner, because what if it was someone's favorite toy? (And, it ended up being.)
She also helped her friend clean up her room after a playdate, even though Sarah didn't make most of the mess, because she thought it was just the nice thing to do.
I know she has her whole life ahead of her, but I don't know how she could make me any more proud than she already does. She is a genuinely good human being. My job is... done? Now if we can get Becca to stop poking the dogs and shoving things up her nose....
Went to the San Diego Zoo this weekend. It's a nice zoo, though it does seem to have a preponderance of ugly animals (wombats, capybara, tapir). We gave the marmosets Gizmo's regards. The highlight was seeing a tree kangaroo with a joey in its pouch! Then later, Sarah made an origami zebra. She was able to follow the complex folding instructions, which gave me a headache. 
Our Lisle home officially belongs to someone else. In another 20 days, the same will be true for our Florida condo, and we will be California homeowners. Not moving till July though... we'll rent the house back to the current owners. So it's a couple more months of close quarters for us.
