So much has happened since my last blog. Where to start?

Savanna did have a birthday party in my parents back yard. They just put in a splash pad and it's a huge hit with the kids. They all love it except Savanna. She just likes to get her feet wet. Anyway, we had lots of kids and lots of family over and just had a great time!


Savanna "graduated" from her first year of preschool. She loved it there! The teachers were great, the school was clean, and the kids were fun! In fact, Savanna met a little girl there and they became fast friends. Apparently they were inseparable while at school. Audry would usually be waiting at the door for Savanna to get there. Did I mention this is a small world? Audry's grandmother lived in our neighborhood and was my mom's visiting teaching companion. Needless to say, Savanna and Audry got a few more play dates when Audry was visiting grandma.


graduation day!

We have now moved into our new home as well! We've been here for almost 3 weeks and are starting to settle in! I don't know about you, but I hate moving. Hopefully, we'll only do it one more time in the somewhat near future. We plan on being here in our townhome for about 2 or 3 years and then we just might be able to build our home on the lot we have in Dixie Springs. We just found out that they are really close to getting bids on development finally.
Anyhow, we are so happy to have our own place again! The only thing we have left to do is put up pictures! We do have one drawback to this place. Our truck is too long for the garage. So, the garage is going to end up being a play area for the wiggle cars or storage. We mostly drive the car because it gets better gas mileage. I'm sure everybody is feeling that pinch these days!
Anyway, the girls are having a great time with having their toys out all the time. Today, Savanna and Codera were playing in the little couch like it was a roller coast, so I took them for a little ride. I didn't get a great picture of them smiling but they were having a ball! We went around the room and down the hall I don't know how many times! But, it was fun! I'll have to post some pics of the rest of the house later. We love it here and are very happy!



During all of this, my mom fell and broke her leg. Actually, she shattered both bones. She has 19 screws and 2 plates just above the ankle. She's doing pretty well now though. She did have a few scary moments when she was hospitalized with a blood clot in her lung. Thankfully, she is home and getting better. We are thankful to all who have kept her in their prayers and helped out when possible. Have I ever mentioned how awesome my mom is? I may have to blog about her one of these days! She can do anything! She's amazing! Good thing she is getting better cause I have a lot to learn from her!
Well, that's all for now. See you in the next blog!
