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.

O Ye of Little Faith

That is me - little faith. I thought it was a done deal that Missie would attend a private school here in this area, since we probably are not moving. But guess what??? She was talking about getting a laptop and doing HomeSat! PTL! So we are getting her her own laptop when we get our taxes and going to go with BJU HomeSat. She is excited about it, and we are too!!!! It will be cheaper to get her a laptop and go with HomeSat then to send her to school. Besides a school bill, there will be gas every day, lunches, etc. So I feel God answered prayer before I actually prayed much about it. My heart was heavy because of her going to a private school that is not of our faith, and I will be honest and say I guess I didn't think it would do much good to pray! Missie is very much a people person and wanted to go to school to have friends. But it looks like she may be home again next year for school. The HomeSat explains everything which will help her and I both a lot!!!

More good news is that Preston went to the dentist today and he has no cavities! He has had so many meds. since birth, that his teeth have been bad. But today he was so thrilled that he had NO cavities; first time in a long time we were told that! Kim, his aide went with us, to help me get him in and out of the dentist office. It is a blessing to have help. They had no idea at the dentist's office what all he had been through. They were glad he is doing so well and is a much happier person!

So needless to say, I am exhausted. I didn't sleep well last night and have been up since 5:30 so I am headed to bed soon. Thank the Lord I can stay home tomorrow!

Just had to share what the Lord is doing for us!

Yes, we are thankful that Preston had no cavities, and happy about Missie's willingness to home school next year. I never thought that would happen!
