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 has been a busy day. And I am sooo tired and achy. I had to clean that office, along with Missie's help today, because Kim is out of town. And I have to do it at least next week too, as she will be out of town again. I hope I can live that long. Missie is such a wonderful worker; she did entire kitchen again and did all of the mopping, that helps me so much. She is worth her weight in gold! She had already worked 2 hrs. at the Humane Society, so before we got the cleaning done, she was very tired! But we are done for this week, thank the Lord.

I feel a little better this evening, emotionally and spiritually. I have been really crushed by some things going on and I cannot afford to get involved because I am already about running on empty, as Bro. Trussell at church says, and it doesn't take much to send my spirits plummeting. But I heard a quartet from Penns View today and it encouraged me. Even if people are not real, Jesus is! He is the same, yesterday, today and forever, and I have to look to him, not people. He is always with us and keeps us going literally.

Preston is so tired these days, I think part of it is some of his nighttime meds., so with the time change I decided to cut back on one of them that he takes to help him sleep. He doesn't realize I did this, so I hope he can get to sleep ok. I think he worries about not falling to sleep and that keeps him awake, if that makes sense.

I was able to cut Preston's hair today. It looks like a literal hole in his head where he had the last surgery. I hope it is ok; and doesn't require more surgery. He pulled a staple out last night. I don't see any more staples. He goes to dr. on 27th unless they having something open sooner. Dr. Johnson was unable to leave the country right now, for some reason. I am glad he is still around. He takes mission trips to other countries, but right now I feel better knowing he is in US.

My family in Canada are being pounded with a terrific snow storm and sleet too. But so far they are all safe and warm; for that I am thankful.

I am headed to the shower and to lay down.

Wow! I haven't been on too much recently. I just read about your friend's baby and my heart just aches for her and her family. I will be praying for them all.
We received about 12~15in of snow last night and into today. It's been a long time since we've had snow this much around here.

wow, I read on Martha's blog where you would post some pictures of making memories in the snow, and I will go over to your blog and see if you posted them yet. My brother in Canada sent me pictures this evening and Missie would love to be up there!
