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.

Monday update - I am finally home after driving 1,000+ miles!

Well, I am exhausted. I left Fri. afternoon at 2 p.m. to go to TN to get Missie. She was calling and crying because she was homesick. I just back tonight with her; I drove 1,070 miles. Jr. has been with Preston all weekend. I have lots of laundry and stuff to do. I have to get clothes ironed and ready to take to the hospital, as I go tomorrow and will be there until Fri. unless I get to come home one evening for a little while. I want to be home so bad. We all do.
Lord willing, tomorrow Preston will have his shunt internalized. He has been running a low grade fever today, but I hope everything is ok so he can have the surgery. If he can and the shunt works, we are one step closer to his recovery and our homecoming! He had blood drawn today and a chest exray done in preparation for the surgery. PICU is so quiet tonight; they only have 5 patients up there and Preston is one of them.
Preston was so happy to see Missie this evening. She got him to laugh. She really missed him. And I am sure he missed her. He would reach for the phone and try to talk when she would call him today.
Please be in prayer for the surgery tomorrow at around 3 p.m. Lord willing.
I am so glad for safe traveling mercies. I had to go way down into TN to get Missie, where we used to pastor. It was good to see Savannah again but I didn't get to visit anyone except my best friend where I stayed and some of her relatives. We don't usually travel on Sunday but we had to today, to be home for Preston's surgery tomorrow.
