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.

Preston's Bike!

Wow, Preston has had a wonderful day! Junior got Preston's bike finished with the speedometer and mirror put on, and Preston sat on it. He was nervous at first, and didn't think he could ride it. But we got him headed down the alley beside our house and he took off. He was moving slowly at first, but gradually got up more speed. He ended up riding 3 hours! He was so happy and loves his bike. He has had a much better day today! Depression is an awful thing; if you have never had it, you don't know how to understand it. I have, and it is awful. Anyhow, after he rode his bike all that time, he said he didn't want to die. Life seems hopeless for him sometimes, but this bike will give him a new lease on life.

Missie is gone with her school to Bus Convention and will be home late. I have watched it both nights so far on live streaming. The sermons are such a blessing.
Union Bible College's choir sang tonight.

I am posting pictures of Preston riding his bike!
