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.

November????

You mean it is November already? Hard to believe.

Well, Preston is doing good. Some of his nervousness has come back, though. We made a trip to his psychiatrist this week. We are having to give him some anxiety medication especially in the afternoons. If we don't have to go anywhere he is better. He has always been this way. He has been sad and wanting to cry too, and the dr. changed his depression medication. So we will see how that works.

Preston's new aide came today, Kim, and she is very nice. Of course, she is not Mildred. Mildred hated to be idle and did a lot in the house when she was here. Kim did wash dishes and bathed Preston etc. Preston said he told her to check the clothes in the dryer, but she wouldn't do it, LOL. He said he will train her like he trained Mildred, LOL.

His walking is much better. He walks with his walker (cane) alone a lot now. So that is a big improvement. He feels more secure with the walker and that is great.

Missie and I went out today while aide was here. I was able to get my groceries. If groceries keep going up, I don't know how we are all going to make it; and gas as well. My brother (lives in Canada) says US is headed for a depression. Could be, but like I told him, I cannot worry about it; I have to take one day at a time and not get overwhelmed. The Lord has promised to supply our needs. Anyhow, the aide comes back tomorrow, and I am taking Missie and a friend to ice skate in Greenville. So they will enjoy that. Never a dull moment when you are raising children. But it is good that Missie and I can get out for a change when Preston has someone to stay with him.

Well, it is my bedtime, just wanted to check in.
