Busy!

Well, it has been a busy yet good week.

I took Preston out to eat pizza, then to goodwill, and to the Health Dept. to get his flu shot. So we have that taken care of. He enjoyed it so much; the time we had out together.

Missie has been busy with school, play practice, performing in the school play last night, and being in the Frankfort Christmas parade tonight. Preston and Jr. went to the parade, and I stayed home. I didn't want to get out in the cold! We have snow and it is quite cold here. The pastor's wife said it is not usually like this here until January. So I guess we are getting January's weather in December. Hope January isn't much worse. But we enjoy the snow. Preston loves to sit on his chair in front of the window and watch it fall. She almost froze though, and was glad it was a short parade. She did great in the school play. It all turned out well.
She also sang in the missionary service on Wed. night. She and I have been friend's of Jessie Hales for a while, and she offered to sing for his missionary service, and he said that would be fine, and thought she did awesome.

Junior's c-pap is on its last leg; we are not sure it is even working to its full capacity. He is snoring too much, and that indicates it is not doing all it should. We were able to buy a nice used one for $75, and order the clinical manual for it off of ebay. It tells how to set the machine to his level of 18. This one is set at 10 or 11. It only has 70 hrs. on it, and is a newer one. So hopefully it won't take but a few days to get the manual in and he can have it set to 18 and start using it. Without insurance right now, he cannot afford to have another sleep study done here and get a new prescription; unless the free clinic would help him with that.

I have all the gifts ordered for the children that I am getting. As I said before, we don't go overboard in spending; it is not the reason for the season to lavish our children with lots of things they don't need. One of the things I got for Preston is a new shower chair with a back on it. He will be tickled about that.
I still have to get a gift card or something for my inlaws and get Junior's 2 grandmothers gifts sent out. I remember them every year, even if it is just a little something. They have been good to us over the years.

We are planning, Lord willing, to leave here Christmas Eve morning and travel to Canada, and be there Christmas day and Friday, and come back on Sat. My sister's whole family will be in on Christmas Day and we will get to see them. We haven't even met my nephew's wife. We are hoping the weather will be a little clearer when it is time to leave. It has been at least 10 or 11 years since I have spent Christmas Day with my mom. Missie was just tiny. The children already know they won't be getting any gifts that day; because Mom already sent the money and that is part of what I have used to get them what I have gotten them. We will probably have our family Christmas the weekend before we leave.

Well, wanted to write an update. Catch you later!
