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.

Hump Day!

Well, today is hump day!
It has been a pretty good day. Thank the Lord, Preston's new night time meds. are working and he is sleeping well!!! PTL! He was up at 9 a.m. this morning and had a good day.
We ended up having the aide yesterday and she cleaned Preston's room, and changed his bed, vacuumed, etc. But we are only having her on Tuesdays now. It is too hard on me physically to get up and take Jr. to work to keep the van as he has to be at work at 6 a.m. plus the gas has gotten so high, we are just trying to combine all the trips that we can. Jr. can stop and pick up few things after he gets off work, that we need. So! I will be home every day this week and loving it!
I put some auctions on ebay hoping to make a few $ since this is not the week Jr. gets paid. I still find that hard. I helped Missie with her school today, and did usual house work. This evening I worked on some cards.
Missie helped with supper tonight and made a choc. cake! So that was so nice! I love having her here with me, even though it is not the ideal thing for her. I feel like part of me is missing when she is at a friends, and literally it is. She is my right arm! She gets frustrated with Preston sometimes, but then again, we all do. But overall, he is such a good, sweet boy now.
So that is about all I have to say today. It has been rainy and dreary. Hope the sun shines tomorrow so Preston can sit on the porch in his swing. The fresh air is good for him.
We did say goodbye to our silver ford escort today. They finally came and towed it away. I got a couple of pictures of that. But we love our van; God worked it out for us to get it. The car was so small for us.
