Here is the new year and we are still in limbo! As some of you know, we put an offer in on a house here in Ivins. The owner countered and we accepted. Then we backed out after one day. Troy and I both had misgivings and didn't feel it was the right decision. So, we're still looking for a house, but who knows when we'll find something we can both decide on and feel good about. I'm sure there's a reason the house didn't feel right, but I couldn't tell you why. It's a little frustrating for both of us because we are so ready for our own house. Our property in Dixie Springs keeps being pushed back so who knows when that will be developed. We obviously can't rely on that being an option for housing right now. We decided against the other housing not too far from that property that was supposed to be started this month. It has also been pushed back to at least June or July. (That's to start building homes) Anyway, everything we seem to want to do lately hasn't worked out. Maybe we are supposed to stay at my parents home for a while. I wish we knew the reason. Anyway, a little frustrating, but I guess that means a little more money we can save every month we are here. (Which is definitely a good thing!)
Codera got her second tooth and I know she's working on getting more. She's chewing the heck out of her fingers and other toys! She's so close to crawling but hasn't quite got the hang of it yet. She does the caterpillar crawl. Won't be long before she figures out how to really crawl! Then watch out world!
Savanna is Savanna. She's such a chatter box. Troy has nicknamed her "Motorola". Half the time she's not really talking to anyone, just talking to talk. She's turned into quite the little girly girl! She got some "lipstick" and fingernail polish for Christmas and loves it! She also got a jewelry box and some jewelry. She always makes sure she puts her jewelry back in the box.
I have put a link to an online photo album on the blog. It is at the top right hand side. Hope you take a minute to go to the link and look at some fun pictures!

You figured it out! I think you can rename the link if you wanted to so it was shorter... I really should call you but I'm always on the computer way late. The dresses are adorable... and the girls too! ;) That is the best Belle dress I've ever seen! Go Grandma!

Allison! I have been checking on your blog since Halloween and nothing! Now you have quite a few that somehow I missed. It was so fun to catch up on you guys, and I love the slideshow of pictures. The girls are getting so big! I really loved your family Christmas Card, too. (where's mine)! Hint hint :) PS. I'd like to see some pictures of you and Troy in there!
