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.

Our God is an Awesome God!

Yesterday was a great day. Missie and I went to SS and worship in the a.m. and it was such a wonderful spirit and I was so glad to be there!!! I had to rest in the afternoon, to be able to go back that night, but that is ok! Preston was so proud of himself and the people were proud of him, because he WALKED in the church!!! He used his one handed walker and walked up the ramp and into the church; rested at the back to visit with people, then up the aisle to his seat. Everyone was so happy to see this big improvement. His new depression medication is doing wonderful, and he hasn't mentioned wanting to cry, and is sooo happy and less nervous. He has such a big smile and is so sweet. He may be 19 1/2 but he is still our "little" boy in many ways. We have talked about his having his own apt. within our home if we can get a big enough place for this to happen. It would give him a sense of independance, as if he were normal, he would want to be on his own at this age. So that is something to consider when we move.

Well, I am trying to help Missie with school, as well as all the Monday morning work a mother and housewife has to do!
