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.

Wed. update on Preston!

Thank you, each and every one for your messages and prayers.

Ok, here is a short update, because I am so tired, and need to head to bed.

We are home, and so thankful for that! They were unable to put in a full pic line due to the fact that after his birth he was put on ECMO, and the major blood vessels on his right side had to be cut. They cannot put it in the arm that has cerebral palsy. So he has a midline, and I have to give him antibiotics once a day for 3-4 weeks. They are coming in a.m. to make sure I know how to do that and brings the antibiotics. I will be very glad when that comes to an end. But it is better to be home and give antibiotics than have to stay in hospital!

Thanks for all the prayers and emails. If I didn't answer your email please forgive me. I have sooo many messages, it was hard to read them all.
