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.

November!

Is it November already? Hard to believe.
Missie and I flew to Canada and spent 3 days with my mom, & stepdad. My brother was on holidays, so he drove us everywhere we wanted to go! We had a wonderful time! The only problem we had when we got back to Chicago they had canceled our flight to Indy. They said we couldn't fly out until the next day. Well, I asked them about rerouting us and they were able to do that. But we had to fly to Washington, DC and then to Indy, it was a very long day and we got home about 2 a.m. on Thurs. morning! I will post a few pictures of my mom, etc.

We got a perfect report on Missie today, at her school. She is on track or ahead in all of her subjects. We are so proud of her. She loves her school, and studies hard. She is such a blessing to us. She feels called of God to Christian service, and that will please us! At this point, she wants to go to Bible College and major in Missions. She is also debating going through to be an RN as well. So we will see what God has for her!

Preston has been having headaches for a couple of weeks so he goes to neurosurgeon on Tues. in Indianapolis. I think he probably just needs his shunt adjusted; so thankful these shunts can be adjusted without surgery! Hoping and praying that is all he needs. He has been enjoying these beautiful warm days and sitting outside in his swing on our front porch.

Junior is busy at work. He likes the newest job he has at NTK, in the lab. He enjoys it much better than being out on the line. I am so glad he was able to get this job in the lab. He and Missie were planning to go to NC for Thanksgiving to his parents, but the trip is over 600 miles and it is too much driving for such a short time. So they are staying home for Thanksgiving.

So that is about all for now. I post all my pictures and updates on facebook, and don't blog as much as I used too.
