Quick Update

Hi Everybody! Happy New Year! Hope everyone had a great holiday! Sorry we haven't posted...but you know how crazy it gets. We had a wonderful Christmas and were able to visit with everyone this year, which was fun. Let's see...what is new and exciting here...

Babies are doing well...just turned 14 months! Can you believe it??!! Both are walking now. John Andrew started about a week after Lilly but we have not been able to download the video for you all to see him. So needless to say - life is much more interesting around here with 2 on the move...always in opposite directions too! They are so much fun now...like little sponges. Lilly's favorite thing is reading (and eating) books and pointing out noses, mouths and eyes on everything and everybody. I swear we are all going to get conjunctivitis. John Andrew is into examining the wheels, bolts, latches on EVERYTHING...and has recently learned how to make fart noises on his arm, which keeps him (and Lilly who falls over laughing over it) busy. They love playing peek-a-boo and chasing each other too!

Meg and Razzy are doing well too. They are settling in and enjoying the babies. The babies love Aunt Meg (and Razzy too). She is a great help and lots of fun for the babies and me. It is great to have a girlfriend to talk to...a nice "bridge" for me back to the real world...you know the place where people don't use words like "poo-poo" and "night-night."

The house...ugh...the house. Well - our new house is absolutely beautiful and finished. It is even more beautiful than we imagined. And if you love it as much as we do...you can buy for yourself because it is FOR SALE!!! We haven't been able to sell our current house yet (it has been on the market 8 months now)...so the builder had to list our new house! We are absolutely sick over this. We can still get into the new house if we sell this one before someone else buys the new one...so we haven't lost all hope...but it is just disheartening. We just haven't been able to get people in here to even look at the place! There are just so many foreclosures and quick sales in our area we just haven't been able to compete. But we did one last price drop...and traffic has started to pick up (more people in the last two weeks than have been in the first 7 months on the market). With this last drop we stand to make hardly anything off of this house...but right now our goal is to just get out and get out of limbo!

Have to run and feed the babies breakfast! I have some Christmas pics and videos that I will post sometime over the next few days.

So long for now!
