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.

Saturday

Well, it is Saturday. Jr. got to stay in bed later. He overslept 2 times this past week. We just seem to be so tired. I know we are not getting any younger, but we aren't all that old, just worn out I guess. Jr. has to get up at 4:30 every a.m. as his job starts at 6 a.m. then with all that we have been through the last year, I guess we are just plain tired.
I had a usual busy Sat. Missie worked from 1-3 at the Humane Society. Preston decided last night that he wanted to take his own showers again. Well, he got ready to get into the tub, and got scared. So I helped him get in and get sitting on his chair. We need to get a tub rail to help him get in. Then I soaked him down and went out and he washed himself. Then I rinsed him and had to wash his hair for him. But he is trying so that is good. It has been a long time since he has been able to take his own showers. But we are working in that direction!
Not much other news from here. Hope you all have a wonderful Lord's day tomorrow.
