This is the only way it would let me post :(

Here it is December, where has time gone. I just realized this a.m. I have not posted pics of our new home, where we moved to in May. I am really bad at blogging now :( Preston is doing great! He did have a cold, but other than that, he is doing well! We are so thankful for that.Missie loves Union Bible Academy. She has moved into the dorm so she won't have to drive 1 1/2 hrs/day and during winter it would have been hard. She loves living in dorm and having her friends there. She is in choir and absolutely loves that and travels when they travel. She is maintaining a B average, and that is great! It was a big switch to switch from ACE cirriculum to textbooks, but she has done very well. We love our home, and spending our first holidays in it! Will post some pics.

I was home today!

Missie and I were home most of the day. It is wonderful!!! I washed, dried and ironed clothes, vacuumed, mopped kitchen, Missie cleaned out refrig. and washed most of the dishes. We changed the sheets on mine and her beds. I cleaned Preston's room and washed his bedding in faith he may come home soon???? 3 weeks is so long for our family to be separated except for little bits of time. I miss us being together as a family. We are a very close family and it is very hard. I also got some things mailed today that I needed to mail. So I feel I accomplished a lot.
I ran to hospital and took Junior clean clothes, and let him go to the library and get some books to read. Preston was in pretty good spirits. Junior had showered him and shaved him and changed his bed.
Tomorrow Missie and I plan to attend morning worship service, and to friends for lunch. This lady is a dear friend who has been there with us for every surgery that Preston has had, visited him a lot, brought goodies, and is fixing food for us tomorrow. It has been such a blessing; that lady is Gail Hobelman. We even look alike. They thought in PICU we were blood sisters because we look so much alike, even our smiles they said. I have gone to dr.'s and dentist' offices and they thought I was Gail. We have known each other for years and Gail said we must have rubbed off on each other!
Anyhow, I am off to bed.
