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.

Shame on me!

I can't believe it has been 10 days since I blogged. Shame on me.
Where do I begin? Well, I think Preston's peg was leaking, and we ended up going to surgeon's office and having the valve replaced, and until tonight it has been doing well. Tonight all the water I gave him, came out and soaked his gown. But when I gave his meds. it stayed in. Thank the Lord.

Jr. and Missie are gone to Gatlinburg. At 8:30 this evening I talked to Missie and they had just ridden the chair lift to the top of the mountain. She was so excited and having the time of her life, of course. So it is just Preston and I until tomorrow evening. Then Sat. a.m. she and I leave for Canada! Jr. will be on his own here with Preston, except for the medical help we have come in. He has stuff he needs to do around here; like replace some flooring in the kitchen and bathroom. Also there is more work to do in Preston's room. We haven't gotten it finished, but that is ok. We can finish it when I get back. We have to get a window before we can completely finish it anyhow.

My mom has been quite sick. I have been worried about her, and told her I would take over when I get there. I will cook and stuff, as we are having some family in. I am going to get to meet my step sister and her husband, step brother and his wife for the very first time. So we are excited about that. I just can't wait to see my mom; 3 years is too long to go without seeing your mom. But Lord willing, I will see her Sat.

Preston said he will miss me and asked me not to go. But I feel I need to make this trip. It will be good for me and Missie, and one never knows how long mom will be here, and she wants to see me so bad.

Gail and Eric Hobelman are taking us to the airport on Sat. a.m. We leave here at 7:30 a.m. our plane leaves Greenville about 10:30, we go to Philadelphia for an hour layover and from there to Syracuse where my brother will pick us up and take us in to Canada. It will be quite a long day, it will be about 12 hrs. altogether. But to drive is over 20, so we are still getting off easier.

I may not get to update until I get back. Will post some pictures hopefully, too.

Pray for us all please.
