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.

Sad news!

Jr's sister Pam, was married to Greg and they had a daughter. They are divorced but Ashley was close to her dad and has been living with him for the last several months. Well, they found him dead in bed this morning. Ashley is taking it very hard, of course. We are asking prayer for Ashley. She is 17 and will be 18 later this month. He was about my age, around 52, and as of yet, they don't know what caused his death. Please just remember Ashley in your prayers.

Missie and James are counting down! A week from today he will fly in! We are so excited to meet this young man! They have been using web cams and it is so neat that they can see each other like that. They seem to enjoy looking at each other for some reason, hahaha. They each have AT&T Go phones and can talk any number of times/day for $1/day. So that helps a lot too. They are 2 hrs. behind us in time, but he sets his alarm at 5:30 each morning so he can call her before she goes to school. I am so thankful God brought him into Missie's life!

Preston is really excited to meet James! I know he will tease them! But he is anxious to meet him. They have seen each other on the web cams. He was interested in what Preston's condition involved, so I was able to share Preston's problems with him.

Junior has a physical today for his new job. Then when he gets home we are taking Preston out on his outing since his check came in on Tues. We are taking him out to eat and to a goodwill right beside the restaurant, in Lafayette.

So that is the latest, just wanted to ask prayer for Ashley!
