Gas

So, did you get your gas bill yet? We sure did! When we bought our house we were very careful to buy a house with "more efficient" gas heat. So much for that idea! We knew our bill would probably be a bit higher this month, but for the month of December it was $401!! We were shocked, and didn't think it could possibly be correct. Well, Jeremy called Columbia Gas last night and found out that it is accurate. Yikes! So, we decided we better get on their budget payment plan. Ughhh... 

 Annah is learning to reach out for things and grab a hold of them on her own now. She particularly likes to get a tight grip on Taryn's hair and not let go! She also began sucking her thumb last week. We think it is adorable, but have been told it may not be so cute in about 5 years. It seems to keep her quite content for the time being though. 

 Annah is adjusting well to days with her babysitter, Sandy. Mommy is not adjusting quite as well, but the situation is as good as it can be for now. Sandy is a very nice lady and she takes good care of Annah. She has a 10 1/2 month old son of her own, Zachary, who is very cute and smiley and can't wait for Annah to be big enough to play with him.
