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.

Wow!

Thanks for the kind comments, Cathy and Happy Bunny. Cathy, I know you really understand as you have a special needs daughter. It means a lot to know you all care about me, and pray for me.

Things are pretty good here. Tonight my husband and Missie went to the Holiday Inn for a meeting, in Greenville, concerning an online high school program through the public school system. It was packed. Missie turned her application in tonight. So we will see what happens. We also applied to the other online program and sent in papers and all for it; but if she can get into Insight, she and her daddy like it the best. So time will tell. But I feel it will be definately the way to go for her high school until we can get her into a holiness school.

Preston has been walking down to the shop most days. Yesterday he didn't, because his check came in and we took him out to eat. He enjoyed that. We took him to IHOP. It is very hard work for him to take this walk down our driveway and then back up. He is always exhausted and very hot! One day Jr. picked him up, but normally he walks it. It is good for him!

We are trying to figure out what to do with our puppy and parrot when we go to Canada. That is the problem with having pets. Will have to see what we can come up with.

So things are good here! Just wanted to let you all know.

Hi Norma,
Am so pleased things are going well for you at the moment.
Good Luck Missie - hope you get the school of your choice and glad to hear Preston had a nice meal out.
Do you know anyone who could have the pets for you while you're away. I know what you mean - we have a houseful so going away can be quite difficult at times.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend. We have a bank holiday over here and am hoping it will stay warm and dry for us.

Words can be used in so many ways. I find words of kindness and friendship causes both parties to feel good. I know you are very concerned about your children. I know God will honor you as you let Him direct your path. God Bless. Have a great day! Cathy
