Updates...

Kate was home early from school on Friday - woke up from her nap and had exploding diarrhea. Feel sorry for her teacher. I managed to get everything clean again except the underwear - it went straight in the trash. Todd went and picked her up - she had a fever for about 24 hrs and was more tired this weekend but is now feeling much better. Due to sleepiness from illness, she went to sleep very easily Friday night and a good nap on Saturday. Saturday night only got up twice and then was asleep. Sunday - refused to nap - but...Ta-da Sunday night after 10 mins of rocking went right to bed, did not get up once, and fell right to sleep. She was up at 6 am this morning - feeling good and ready to go. And she slept all night too - no getting up during the night. Todd feels very strongly that we are headed towards no more napping at all. I realize she is about to be 3 but I thought she would continue to nap for at least 6 more months or so. O'well - no napping isn't the worst thing - especially if she sleeps well at night.

On the move - we are making progress in the "selling our stuff" department. We've gotten rid of our patio furniture and lawn equipment - definitely won't need those in an apartment. Still working on selling the car. We may not be able to get the true value out of it and if that is the case, then it isn't worth selling. We will have to see. We've picked out five apartment complexes to have my mom go look at. They are all in KY. We feel the KY side has more to offer and prices are cheaper than OH. Several Internet city to city comparison websites have said we will pay 10% less for groceries in OH/KY than we do here in FL. Plus KY has lower taxes on gas, etc. than OH.

PS. This picture is Kate about two weeks ago, helping Daddy make playdough. She looks so grown up.
