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.

Friday!

Time goes so fast.

It was a disappointing week; but I asked the Lord to take the sadness away.

Tonight we took Preston out and we had a good time. He is such a sweet boy now!
The Lord opened the door to talk to my friends about coming to church, and that if they go to Hell they will take their children with them. I told them sometimes that is all that has kept me going; knowing if I let up and give up, Missie will do the same, and be lost. They are supposed to come to church Sunday; I am sooo hoping and praying.

Wed. we leave for IN. I have been cleaning out and trying to organize my card making stuff, and have fewer containers, and Preston let Missie and I clean out his toys! He would tell us yes or no whether he wanted to keep them. We had several garbage bags that we freecycled to a family of 8, who homeschool. The children in that family love when we clean out stuff!

I dread the trip in a way, but am kind of looking forward to the break for a couple of days. I know I will miss my children tremendously.

I am very tired and headed to bed. Good night all!

Dear Norma,
I was so sad to hear about your parents and your brother not visiting - your life has been such a rollercoaster for you in the last year hasn't it.
I am sure this move will be such a positive change in your life and am so pleased to hear that Prestons doing so well.
Enjoy the time that you and Jr have together - it will be so precious and I'm sure you will look back and treasure it.
As always you are in my prayers - God bless to you all.
