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.

Another week

Well, another week has passed since I last wrote (will be a week tomorrow.)
Jr. has had a terrible head cold. Starting to feel better now. Preston has had a good week; went to neurosurgeon and things looked good. Missie has been doing school, and ice skating. She went with a friend on Friday for the friend's birthday, and then Hannah and her children came over yesterday and we took the girls skating. Emily spent the night with Missie and is here today, until after church tonight. Jr. took the girls to church this a.m. and I stayed with Preston.
Not sure what other news to put on here. I am enjoying not having to keep the van; and just staying home. If I need to go somewhere I can go when Jr. gets home, or on Sat. It is much easier on me that way.
Well, the board of education in the state of SC has started a virtual school for homeschoolers, via the computer. The student does all their work on the internet and there is a local teacher to check in on us or if we need him or her, and IT IS FREE! But the catch is, they can only accept 200 high school students so Missie might not be able to get in. They have K-12th. So Missie has put her application in to see what happens. It would be great if she does get in, and would save us $1,000 that we have to spend on DVD school for her. With her starting high school this coming school year, she needs more instruction, and my brain is so overloaded I don't feel I can do a lot for her; that is why the dvd school will be good for that. So it is in the Lord's hands; whatever He wills concerning her education, we will accept. The website is http://www.k12.com/
We are all going to church this evening and for fellowship afterwards. That is one of Preston's outings for the week. He usually only gets out a couple of times a week unless he has a dr.'s appt. like he did this week.
So we are doing pretty good here.

Norma, It is so interesting to see how God is working in other people's lives. I trust He works everything out for Missie for school. What a wonderful tool for fellowship your church has after service on Sunday. Today we are enjoying the lovely weather which the Lord has given us. Next week I will be flying to Kansas to help my daughter-in-law and the 5 grandchildren to fly into Ohio for vacation. Pray for us, please.
