[blparent] moving

Hi everyone! Thought maybe someone would be able to help, I've been reading, but I'm still looking for suggestions.
Kevin, Mackenzie, and I are moving to toledo which is about 4 ahours away from cincinnati where we currently live.  He has accepted a new job, which will be a great opportunity, but I'm wondering how to explain this to Mackenzie.  We have told her she is going to a new home and a new adventure.  I said she could choose where her crib is going to go, and her toys.  She is also going to help me set up her play room! 
 Obviously, we will have to take Mackenzie out of pre school.  I will be looking for a new job when we get there, hopefully I will find something in social services.  Until I do though, her and I will be home together.  We are starting to plan out a schedule of activities for her and I to do together during the day that will be fun and educational.  She seems to have an amazing talent for art, and she loves to read! So we will find things to do! Just wondering if any of you have any experiences with this, and ways to help make the adjustment for the child easier.  She will also be 4 hours away from my dad, and the two of them have a special connection!
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Nikki
