Thank you for the blessing for them, Maria. They have been saving, ever since they married a few years ago, for a home large enough. Avery's room was so crowded, you couldn't get to one side, it was against a wall, in order to move around the other side. They had planned on building and had even had their house pad put down 2 years ago, for it to settle good. God had other plans. Everything that was planned for the new construction for Avery, was already in this home, except for the tracking system. It has been proven over and over God never closes one door without opening another. And sometimes we humans make certain plans and although His plans may go in a different direction, He still more than meets our needs.(Their house plans were for a 2200 square foot home and this one has 900 sq ft more.) God is good-

We are about the same distance as before,about 5 country miles, I think. Thank you, I want to show you the kids rooms,when she unpacks & get things put away, where they go. She still doesn't have Masons bed back, nor her claw foot tub. Both are going to be refinished. I made Nora's bedding and gave Avery hers, although I didn't make it, and I made Mason pillow cover I showed in Projects. Anxious to see how they will look.

The tracking was a rail system in the ceiling, to go from Avery's bed, to the master shower. A lift with a sling seat would pick her up and then she could 'swing' along to the bath. Just would have made it easier as she gets heavier, not so hard on the back.

Amen!!!!

Thank you Michelle, I hope whatever the surgeon does, it will help her...first do no harm.

Thank you so much...soon we will know...

Thank you for asking His blessings... When their bids came in for the home they wanted to build, it was more than asking price of this house, and was going to be a smaller house.. So SIL said one night, why didn't they just go look at this house, she may take less. They negotiated and finally agreed on a fair price for both. It was over priced. The owners had updated even though the house is not that old. Now has the roll in shower for Avery,granite counter tops kitchen and 3 baths, the pot filler at the stove top, etc. things they had in their house plans. God knows they didn't need the stress of building.(I had to pick Mason up at school. He has a bad headache. Got hit with a baseball, and now back from the Doctor, he has a concussion! And Avery still sees the surgeon tomorrow!) That's the 'Days of Our Lives' -wasn't there a soap opera named this? -lol

I surely hope so, thank you. I can see them growing old here. It is the area they like, not too far from me, so I can continue to help.

Yes, it is exciting for them. My daughter loves to decorate and even though now there is space, I'm sure she will fill it up! When I went to get Nora, I went to see what was unpacked in Avery's room. She had a full bed and her IV/feeding pole on the other side, some furniture pieces and she still had plenty room for her wheelchair and room for others to work around her. It will be so much better, easier. I asked how she did in a full bed and all went well. They gave Nora Avery's old bed. It was Nora's great-grandfathers. Not a baby bed but not a twin either. It has railings but Avery was outgrowing it. When she kicked a lot, she could get her legs over the rails, and scoot to the edge.

Thank you so much, I am so excited for them. I don't think I could be more excited even if it was my own. It will help me too, as I stored things here for them.

Thank you for the blessing and yes, thank God, they both have very good jobs. When they were first going to build, she told me how much they had saved and to be honest, I was not only impressed but very proud of them.( They have only been married 4 1/2 years, his first and her second marriage.)

Thank you Kim

Thank you for everything, blessing and well wishes.

Thank you Loralye, tomorrow we will see what the surgeon plans to do. Thanks for prayers and asking of blessings for them.

Thank you Chis, the flowers do make it look inviting and like 'Home'. They will always live close to me, as I promised to help with Avery, as long as I am able or until God calls me home...I want to take photos of the rooms but she doesn't have all unpacked or placed....I laughed when she told me what happened when they first went to look at the house, but I didn't laugh after I went. I did the same thing as Nora, but I didn't cry (lol) As they did the walk through, Nora lagged behind and then got turned around and started crying because she couldn't find them. Grayson drew me a 'map' of the floor plan-lol- He may have done it as a joke, but it sure helped me the next time!

Thank you Lillian, they were bursting at the seams, so to speak in the other house. I too am so happy for them...She has a great, wide island, will be good for cutting fabric, when I'm there-lol

Kay, I told her I hoped they figured in a house keeper, when they figured their house note...she said they did. I know it would do me in for sure, just to clean all the flooring. No wonder you down sized !

Thank you Leaha, I pray whatever the surgeon does, it will help her in all ways. We will see what and when he plans for her, tomorrow.

Thank you Marion, her appointment is after lunch, not sure what time exactly. I know my husband has to get her brother, from another school this afternoon, and I have to remember (lol) to pick Nora up from the sitter.

Thank you Suzanne, I'm sure they will ! They couldn't even park Avery's chair in her room, when she was in bed in the old house, the room was was so small. All the rooms were small, but they managed till they could do better. When Nora came along it got even more crowded, so I am glad for them. They worked hard for it, saved a good portion, so they deserve to live more comfortable.

Thank you very much Christine.

This last photo was taken, when they first looked, at the house. Now everything is green and in bloom, like in the top photos. My daughter is off on Fridays, so maybe she can try to get things unpacked and placed.
