God has always providied




Okay, so here we are in that situation again, where we have to wait trust in God and see what happens.




We can't afford daycare at a center or with most babysitters as teh cost they ask a week is more than we can squeeze out of our budget without using our tithe (which ironically would cover it completely). So we are stuck looking for a different way to take care of Laurana.




Bonnie is going to watch her until september, but then she has to go back to work as well. So far we have one person who would be willing to watch her one day a week. So we are praying for a couple of differnt options (which ever God has planned or his surprise.)




1. we find a daycare/babysitter we can afford (which would be really cheap).


2. Brad gets a real teaching job (cause then we could cover reagualar daycare)


3. we can find five different people who would watch Laurarna one day a week for free or very little.


4. what ever surprise God has up his sleeve.




so please pray with us that something works out. So far niether of us is panicing, we are praying, and it is just like other years when I was hired after school started, and we were worried about insurance and bills. In the long run, this is God making sure that we trust him. and while it results in a few tears and some questioning, he has never let us down in the past so we have to trust that no matter how close he cuts it he has a plan and he will provide for this little wonderful blessing he has sent into our lives.

Honey I wish I lived close enough to take care of her for you. But I'm just too far away so I, too, will pray for a solution. We just have to put our faith in God. Love you.

Out of curiousity, what did Tiffy do with Caleb before he started school? Did she go with family or a daycare? What does Sonia do with Hayden? Any possibilities there?

We had a babysitter, $90/week for a while, but I wasn't thrilled by some of her practices(like watching up to ten kids when she was only supposed to have four, and leaving them alone in the backyard, with no fence, to go to the restroom), and then (after we had already stopped taking him there) she left her husband and didn't bother telling the parents of the kids that were still there that she wouldn't be watching them anymore. After that, he started preschool and my gramma watched him afterwords until grampa got sick. Prayin' for you! Tiffy

Gaaaa! (Okay, Ellice, THAT'S not an option!)

By the by, how did the first week back go? How's your new bunch look? Did you solve the daycare crisis? How's Brad?

Annevsary's and baby firsts

Okay, let see, our 4th annavsary was this week. We have been married four years. It feels a little longer. I guess we have just packed alot into it and that makes it seem longer. I am really very happy/glad, that I married brad. He has been supportive when I have been flipping out. He takes care of me, and needs me, he is calmed by me when he is flipping out, he has created the cutest little bear with me, we have shared laughs, football games, Musicals, movies, TV shows, books, basketball games, tears, hardship, lack of funs... in short, the better and the worse, the richer and the poorer, the sickness and the health, alaughter and the sorrow, I married a very specail man and I am truly blessed because of it. I can't thank God enough that He saved bard for me. As for First, this week the baby slept all night for the first time. We fed her at 9:00 pm, put her down and she doesn't get up til around 7:30. (of course if we get up early and start moving around she wakes up too) but ...

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Sanity

Okay so this week has been a little wild. Between getting ready for testing at school. Trying to keep students who are ready for summer focused. PMSing, Brad having his huge action research proposal due yesterday and many other little things, I have felt just the slightest bit overwhelmed. I will say that Sanjya finally got voted off American Idol. He couldn't sing, coldn't dance and there and there was really no reason he made it this far above and beyond that people wanted to see what crazy thing he would do each week. Well finally they got it through their heads that he coudln't sing and sent him packing, me and Simon Cowl were thrilled. Please continue to pray for brad, his feet and shins are still bothering him. wE think it is shin splints but we are not sure. He is giving them the 2-4 week rest period that shin splints need and if they don't get better he will go to the dr. as I mentioned above, testing starts next week, here in teh state of Kentucky, and th...
