What? No internet?!

Our internet at home is down (has been for two days!!) so we are a little besides ourselves with not being able to communicate in written form with the outside world.

So, while I have a few seconds at this here coffeeshop, I will update you...

It has been a whirlwind weekend. We have hired nannies. That's right. Nannies. No one nanny is good enough for our Kate! No, actually, we found two that we really liked, but neither had a schedule that worked for us entirely. We asked them if they'd be willing to each do part-part-time, and they said yes! Woo hoo! They are both students, and both sweet, intelligent ladies, so we are happy to make them a part of our lives. We hope that by having two nannies we'll have more flexibility next semester when their class schedules change so they'll still be able to work the hours we need. Fingers crossed.

Our move is proceeding along. We close on the 30th, but probably won't move until mid- to late-October due to some repairs we want to make and what not.

And now, a baby Kate anecdote.

Kate is down to one nap consistently at this point (although she'll sleep in the car in the morning if given the chance). So today when the cable guy came at lunchtime she was already out. Daddy P reports that the dog created such a fuss when he got to the house that Elly actually woke Kate up. Kate stirs, says "Elly Dog" (which in Kate sounds like "Ehee daaa") and goes back to sleep.

I'm still waiting on "Mama."
