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.

Update

Well, here is the latest. The car doesn't have a broken timing belt. It has thrown a rod which means a new motor. So! We will see what works out. We only had 5 more months to pay on this one and it would be paid off. We cannot pay on 2 cars; financially it just doesn't seem possible. A motor is at least $1,000 which we don't have right now. So we are driving a friend's car for a while, until we can see what we can arrange.

Jr. is still coughing and blowing blowing blowing his nose! Missie is now getting it. Preston has been having insomnia despite the fact I give him meds. to help him sleep. Have got to make him another appt. with his psychiatrist who we have to pay out of our pocket. Will it ever end? Needing more money than we have? I know a lot of people face this and we are not alone in it. Jr. has not had a raise in 3 years! The company sold and now they are saying it is not doing as well as it should, despite the fact he always has lots of work. The company he worked for before this, actually shut their doors and closed down or he would still be there.

So that is the latest. It is pouring rain today. I know Jr. and Missie cannot go out, and it is very hard to take Preston when it is pouring. We had a wonderful New Year's eve service last year.

I wish you all a happy New Year!
