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.

Thursday update

Things are the same today. Dr. said surgery should be sometime Mon. afternoon, have to get more info. on that tomorrow.
Junior came over after work and I went a couple of places to get out of the hospital for a few minutes. Then he and I went downstairs to cafeteria and ate together; that was nice. We miss each other so much. We are always together as a family, and this is very hard on us all. I am hoping if surgery goes well and that the shunt will work, we can go home next week.
Missie is coming back from Greer tomorrow. She will be with Junior or I over the weekend.
It is hard to believe Preston has been in here since April 30th. We are totally losing the month of May, it seems. Missie will be 13 on Wed. and it is supposed to be a special birthday and it won't happen. Around the first of June I hope to have something for her, Lord willing.
You know, siblings of special needs children miss out on some things. Even though we try to keep her life as normal as possible, it still happens. I hope when she is grown she can remember some happy times in her childhood. She and I are looking forward to our trip to Canada at the end of June. It will be good for both of us.
Well, that is all the news for today.
