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.

It's Friday again!

Well, it has been a busy day.

It wears me out to get up at 5:30 and take Junior to work, because we only have 1 vehicle. Then I took Missie and her friend to ice skate and it was packed, because school is out. But they had fun. Then brought Missie home to stay with Preston as the aide had to leave, and go and get groceries and get Junior from work. I am not as young as I used to be, LOL.

Well, Missie is thrilled! Sometimes she feels like God has forgotten about her. Anyhow, a stranger saw a post I had on freecycle that Missie wanted a UNO attack game. Well, at the end of my emails there is a signature line that has my blog address. A lady named Suzanne who lives closes to me, went to the blog and read our story. I guess she went back quite aways and read about Preston's illness, etc., and she said it touched her heart. She sent me an email that she wanted to buy Missie a brand new UNO attack game and give it to her for Christmas. Needless to say, Missie is one happy girl, as the lady just called me and they found one, and she is delivering it in the a.m. I am so glad for this experience to show Missie that she is loved and cared for. She wonders why we have so many problems etc., when we serve God. It is hard to explain it all to her so that she understands.
Anyhow, I am so thankful for this small miracle in Missie's life.

Well, I am so tired and am off to bed; just had to share this story with you.

Suzanne, if you read this, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts and I know the Lord will richly repay you for your gift to a little girl (she wouldn't want me to call her that, after all, she is 13!) that feels forgotten sometimes.
