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.

Worn to a frazzle!

I am worn to a frazzle (we say this in Canada.) It has been a big day. Hannah Merck Talley came and got Missie and I and we hurried down to Dillard's to be there for a few minutes of the viewing, then followed the procession to the graveside service. Missie went with the family to eat and all, and Hannah and I went out for lunch. Then we visited a little before she had to leave. It was so GOOD to be with her again. We get along so well and have known each other for so many years. But with our schedules we don't get to be together much. We are going to try and be together more though, Lord willing.

Anyhow, it was sad. The baby looked like a baby doll. There were many tears shed, but overall Pam and Paul did well. I know they will face many hard days to come. The autopsy results are not all in yet. The baby has had problems since birth, and was born 7 weeks early. She had been on meds. and had just been weaned off, and there is a possibility her heart stopped or she had a seizure and is how she landed like she did. But Pam kept saying today, "It is my fault, I fell asleep." My heart goes out to her. I really worry about Peyton. He was very nervous and withdrawn today. He has called me "Mama Gwen" for years now. I love that little boy. I used to cut his hair. He has always loved me. He lost his young father to brain cancer, now his little sister whom he loved dearly. Please pray for him especially if you read this. He is 10.

I am exhausted; just waiting for Preston to get his meds and go to bed, so I can lay down, too. Jr. took him to dr. today and he left the meds. just the same; I have tweaked his meds. to where he is not so tired during the day. It is working and for the last 2 days he hasn't laid down once during the day! So the dr. said if it is working, to leave it like it is! So that we will do. Jr. also took Preston to some thrift stores, and out for lunch. Then when they got home; Jr. and I went to TR and got groceries and other stuff we needed. So it has been a full busy day. It was a nice time of him and I being together, while the kids were at home! Now that Preston is doing so well and Missie can watch over him, once in a while we get out like that.


Gonna go for now.
