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.

Sad day

Both our children, Preston and Missie, have been crying. Our family pet, Scrappy, died today. He has been sick the last few days and we didn't have money to take him to the vet. But he is gone now, and we are sad. I know animals are not as important as people, or to some people, but Missie especially has a way with animals and she had gotten Scrappy a few years back. He was one of the best dogs we ever had. He has been deaf for a few weeks now so we kept him in as much as possible to avoid his getting run over. We are not sure what happened to him; but Jr. and Missie has buried him. Preston had a good cry and then he felt much better.

I have taken a picture of Preston since his fall. He said his nose hurts, but overall, we are thankful he is ok.

We had invited a family for Thanksgiving but found out today they are not coming. So it may just be us for Thanksgiving, but we are sooo thankful we are not in the hospital but at home. We have so much to be thankful for. We are used to not having family for holidays or hardly ever going anywhere, but I still tend to feel a little sad on holidays when everyone is so far away.

I hope you all have a good weekend.
