Wow, I can't believe I haven't posted here in almost two years. That is CRAZY!! I would love to say this is a post to update everyone on the last two years, but it isn't. Well, okay, I will do a short and sweet update, then write another post on what I actually got on here to write about.
In the last two years we have had these things happen:
5 Months of unemployment
Baby born with hip dysplacia requiring trips to an orthopedic doctor. (Last appt will be next week. If all is still well then we should be good and not need any surgery, thus she will be declared healed.)
Job with CRAZY hours that only lasted a few weeks cause we couldn't deal with the daily changes.
Next job was great till the paychecks started bouncing. Can't really have a job not knowing if your paycheck will really be there or not.
Next job lasted awhile but they booted him out shortly after hearing that he was attending school. While this was a blessing and freed up more time for school & family, it was a financing stress. I went and got a job working in the Walmart meat department for a couple months while Phil did his summer term of school. After that he went and got a job. While that time was very stressful it was a huge blessing because the financial strain forces you to trust in God for your needs. It was through God's blessings that we made it through with donations, random checks in the mail, and help from family. We were blessed time and time again.
When Phil went to go look for a mechanic position they told him that they actually wanted him to be a "breakdown coordinator" in their office. This is the perfect job for him as he was wanting to transition into an office position. He was going to school with the hopes of one day leaving the mechanic industry. As of now he has been working in an office for a couple months and he LOVES it! Everything that we have gone through these last 6 months has all just gone to show us even more that God has a plan for each and every moment in our lives.
QUICK update on kids:
Mo is now 7yrs old, in 2nd grade, has done swim team the last two summers, and also did 4H this summer as well.
Bubba is turning 5 this week, is in Kindergarten, beginning to read, and is really good at addition. He also did the swim team this summer although he realized that he does not enjoy swimming as a sport. We hope to try out baseball next spring
Squeeks was just barely born when I last posted....She is now about to turn 2 years old. She is full of energy, loves to babble, sing, play with babies, and loves doggies (stuffed ones). Her two years has been full of hives and trying to figure out what caused them. Turns out that she is allergic to wheat, oats, apple, berries, melon and cucumber. We are so glad to know what caused her misery and we have eliminated all those foods. We do still need more testing to confirm some things and to find if there are more allergies due to still occasionally having hives, but for the most part we have this allergy thing under control.
Well, that should catch some things up a bit. Sorry it wasn't more informative.
