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.

What a night!

Preston didn't have a good night. If he slept at all, it wasn't more than 1 hr. He was nauseated, thirsty, headache, and this a.m. had an aura (beginning of seizure.) The nurse and I had to change a lot of his bed during night, as he missed the urinal. I was sooo tired. I bought some tea with caffeine to drink to wake me up this a.m They came and got him early for surgery. No one was here but me. Jr. and Missie are on their way, but didn't make it soon enough. But he was so anxious for surgery and told the ladies that I didn't need to go downstairs with him. He is just so happy he is soon having surgery. I am too!!!

I have to remember this everyday: 'GOD IS IN CONTROL.' He has to give strength where there is no strength, for us to go on. He needs all of our needs and will supply.

Will update after surgery.

I know how difficult it is to spend endless, sleepless nights in a hospital room. Thankfully, I have only had to spend 1 wk. at a time. I also know what it's like to spend one child's birthday in the hospital with another child. I do believe these siblings have a better understanding than most.

Psalm 29:11 NIV

"The Lord gives strength to his people, the Lord blesses his people with peace."

Thought you could use an encouraging verse!
