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.

Kind of sad, but it is ok.

We will not be taking our trip to Canada next month.

My mom was supposed to get income tax money back and was going to pay for our trip; but she got a letter saying she will get $0. So none of us can afford it; the gas is so high, motels, etc. But it is ok. The Lord knows all about it; it just isn't the right time for us to go. Preston is the most disappointed I guess, of all of us. I am a bit disappointed; I was looking forward to the trip. But I don't want to get out of God's will.

Preston has been wanting to go to the zoo in Columbia, so we plan to take a day and do that. Then Jr. and Missie usually takes a short trip to see some sights; last year they went to Gatlinburg. Preston is not able to do all of that; so they go alone and have a great time.

Missie has a cold and is aching all over. Plus she fell yesterday at work and hurt her face. Jr. has a cold and is coughing, blowing, etc. Preston and I are going to church tonight and stay to eat afterwards. It is a highlight of the week for us to do this. So I am taking him. Missie camped out Fri night with friends and waded in a creek; that might be why she is sick. But she said it was worth it; she had such a wonderful time with friends from our church.

So gotta get dressed and get going. I already have the food fixed to take for afterwards.
