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.

Back already!

I just have to share how God used a man in our church to minister to us, especially Preston.

In SC, we attended church with Kendall Stetler (David and Marsha's son)and now that we are in Frankfort, IN, we attend church with Kendall's brother, Brent. Well, Preston instantly took to Brent; I think he felt a connection because of having attended church with Kendall.

Well a while back Brent asked me about taking Preston out. Well, I wasn't sure about it; not sure how Preston would do, etc. But we decided that today was the day we would try this! Well, Brent came about 4:30, and took Preston out for 2 hrs. When they pulled up Preston was smiling and was soooo happy. He was telling Missie and I where all they had been, and it really helped him!

Thanks Brent, for taking time to do this and make a "special boy" happy! As I told Missie, everyone needs a friend. Preston never goes anywhere without Jr. or I, but it was really good for him; good for him to have his own friend! So God sent Brent Stetler to minister to Preston.

It is so ironic, because we were in Bible College in Thomasville, when David Stetler was the principal and Kendall and Brent were little boys. Then in the last couple of years we have been attending church with them!

Just had to share.

That is so neat that Brent took the time to be with Preston! I'm sure Preston will remember it for a long time : )

That was so nice and a very neat thing to do with Preston and I'm glad that he got to have a day out with a friend and do something special and I'm sure he will treasure the memory.
