Saturday at the Abney's

Well as Saturdays go in our new neighborhood the girls spent the entire day outside. Can I tell you how I thank God for this neighborhood. You know when we were looking for a new house I prayed alot. I turned it over to God. This house was actually the first house we looked at when we started looking to rent a new house, but it was only $25.00 cheaper, so we decided to pass on it. Then about a month went by and she lowered the price to something we thought we could afford. All that time I was looking. I found a house that I really liked, it was totally not on the right side of town it was far from the schools we wanted to be in, but I liked it. Then that fell through, God knew all along that this was the house for us. And for that I thank him. I knew he had a plan and although I didn't know what it was, i was confident that he would work it out. And when I stopped taking the burden on myself and handed it to him, he worked it out for us. Now we have another challenge. Michael is in a position at work that he may be without a job very soon. There is a company in Cleveland that ants to interview him, and it sounds great, but we are hoping that there is a way that he can work here from Knoxville and go there maybe one week out of the month. We did just sign a 1 year lease on this house, so we are here for at least a year. And we have no house in Cleveland. We rented it, where she signed a year lease with us as well, so we cant kick her out. And that house is WAY to small for all of us. I do love that little house, but we just have outgrown it. When we move there we were a family of 3 now were are a family of 6. So pray for us that God will again lead us through this. I lay it on him again and have faith that he will do what is best for our family. I pray that that is to stay here in Knoxville as we have again found a new place to call home and we like it. I also cant stand the thought of disrupting Hailee again. It is so hard on her. she is such a sensitive little girl, she just doesn't deal well with change. They have made friends here, they like their schools, and the area is just so nice. And best of all there is no snow. LOL Really I don't mind the snow, but I just want to not have to move again. I would ideally just like to live the rest of my life here in Knoxville without having to pack my family up and leave again. But if it is in God's Will for us to move then so be it.
I am worried that Lainey may have pneumonia again, she doesn't sound so good. Poor little girl, if she is not better on Monday I will have to take her to the Dr. which means she will miss school. I hate for her to miss. Garrett has also been fussy as well, he has been running a fever, and has a rash on his chest, I am not sure if this is from the shots or not. His breathing has gotten better since yesterday so hopefully he is on the mend. Anyway that is all for tonight, thanks for checking on us till next time remember to hug and kiss your family and tell them you love them today is gone and tomorrow may never come.
