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.

Sunday p.m.

Well, I am ready for bed, but wanted to do a quick update.
We all made it to church tonight. No one has been going on Sun. a.m. because right now with the way I am feeling, I cannot do 2 services in one day, and I cannot stay here alone with Preston to get him up for bathroom etc. Jr. takes this over for me on Sat. and Sunday to give my body a rest. During the week, Missie helps me do it. I am scared to do it alone, because the last time I tried he and I both almost fell, and if he falls on the floor and I am here alone, I cannot get him up. So for the present, we are just getting to church on Sunday p.m. But we are glad for that. I was in so much pain during the service as I had carried a small pocket book and my meds. were in my big pocket book at home. At the end of the service, I was able to get 3 tylenol from Susan and it eased the pain some for me. We were able to go to the fellowship hall, and eat and visit some.

I am concerned about Missie's attending the youth challenge, because Jr. has to work and I am not sure I can handle Preston alone Thurs. and Fri. while Missie is gone. But I don't want to deprive her of going; but I feel kind of scared thinking of not having her here to help me. She said she will stay home to help me with Preston. That is so sweet of her. I will have the aide 3 hrs. on Thurs. and Fri., but he will have to get up for the bathroom before she comes I am sure. We will see what works out.

Preston goes Fri. to have his g-tube removed and I hope that goes well.

I am off to bed.
