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.

Parent/Teacher Conference

Today was our school's parent/teacher conferences. It is great to have such a wonderful daughter! She has completed at least 28 paces already! She is almost finished her elective for the school year, and Science. We were told by her teacher that she is one of the more spiritually stable students in the upper learning center. She has her struggles, but she is maturing spiritually as she is in every other way. She has been through a lot of emotional and physical pain, in her life, but God is using it to make her a better person. Many of the students; boys and girls alike, confide in Missie and tell her their problems. They trust her and have confidence in her. We are so proud of her! She was behind in Math when we moved here, but she has worked hard and is on track now. She is still working to catch up in English, but we feel sure she will be caught up by the end of this school year.

She is so excited about Saturday. They are traveling to Michigan to play their first game of volleyball! She will have a long day, but is so looking forward to it.

We are so thankful for our school. No, it is not perfect; but overall it is wonderful. She is so happy to be in school. It has helped her emotionally so much! It has lifted some of my load, too, as homeschooling was a heavy load the last couple of years that I did it, with Preston having that long hospitalizion and his extreme illness. So God has certainly helped us find a school for Missie. It has been hard financially since we moved here, but the Lord gave Junior a good job now and we thank Him for that!

Just had to share!
