it's almost time...

..for moving day!! For those of you that didn't already know. We sold our house. My cousin Mikey (he is 29 and I still call him Mikey) and his very nice girlfriend, Melissa, bought our house. It is a good house. We have lived here for just about 10 years and I am very sad to leave. I am glad we are selling it to someone we know so I can come visit. I am sure going to miss it here-well not everything. Like only having one bathroom-I am not going to miss that.

Mikey and Melissa are moving in on Friday. We have been slowly putting our stuff in storage (we have a lot of stuff!!). Now comes one big load with the bedroom furniture, clothes and lots of boxes. We sold most of our living room furniture and all of the appliances with the house so that makes it easier to move. I had to post a couple of cute pictures of Libby "helping" me pack. She likes to crawl into the cupboards now that they are mostly empty.

We are moving into an apartment until our NEW house is done in November. Another reason we sold most of our stuff-we don't have room for it right now. I am not "officially" moving to Omaha until May 31st. Libby and I will be staying at the other Marlow residence for a short time. The 30th is my last day at work and the day that "Sex and the City" the movie comes out so I will probably stay here to go see it with the girls. I am taking the rest of the summer off!! I am going to visit my dad, go to the College World Series, go to the cabins, go to Florida, take Libby swimming, watch Mike play softball, mostly do whatever I want and not worry about trying to do it all on the weekend.

Libby is 15 months old!

We had Libby's 15 month check up yesterday. She had the last of her shots until she starts kindergarten. She did VERY good. She didn't cry or fuss the whole appointment except when I held her arms down for the shot. Libby weighs 22 lbs. 13.5 oz and is 33 inches tall. She is the 50 percentile for weight and 60 for height. Maybe she will be taller than us! Libby still only has two teeth and is only walking about 4 or 5 steps at a time. She just thinks it is easier to crawl everywhere. Someday I know she is just going to take off!

Libby is quite talkative these days-mostly gibberish. I am starting to make out more words in her vocabulary. Whenever she sees a dog she still says "Dottey" or "dot dog" which is what we called Dottey. It makes me sad. She likes to repeat herself a lot. Sometimes it is "mom, mom, mom" or "thank you" the a few seconds later "thank you". Sometimes when she wants something it is "mimi, mimi, mimi" (which is what we call Mike's mom). Libby's favorite thing to do is point and say "whats that?"-most of the time I have no idea what she is talking about and she probably doesn't either, she just wants to talk. Libby is getting pretty good at playing patty cake. She can say "roll it" and do the motion and the throw her hands up in the air for "toss it way up high". When you ask Libby where her nose is, she puts her finger up her nose. She is so funny!!
