After the holidays, things picked up with our house and we got a great offer last week! We still haven't found a place to move to, so anybody up for us bunking with them? :)  We have to be out of the house by February 10th! Luckily, I've been able to find several places to rent that allow dogs while we keep looking for a home. So we're packing up all our stuff again...

Nothing beats southern California weather! A couple days after Christmas we spent the day at the beach playing in the sand, kayaking, and even swimming! What a wonderful break from cold and snowy Utah. I think I see a bit of color and freckles returning to my face. Sydney loved being outdoors and posing for her auntie in her sun hat. Afterwards, we all went to the Ventura Harbor pier for some fish and chips for dinner and enjoyed the beautiful sunset.
