Snowmobile!




The last time I remember using my snowmobile was when I was still in high school, and that was about 7 years ago. This last Friday I was able to take a day and get away for a few hours and get out on the trails and lake up here and go, and I mean these things can really go. A friend and I took off in the morning and put on about 80 miles in 3 hours and took a great trip around Rainy Lake and other local lakes. It was so amazing to see the wonders of Gods creation. We saw a wolf, a deer, a fox, along with the snow covered lakes and islands, it was great.

I must admit that I have never been a fan of being on a frozen lake, but I made it. It really freaked me out when we would get to a spot on the lake where the wind had blown the snow off the lake and left bare spots, where you could see the ice and then remember that you were on the lake, but I was following so I guess if the ice would have been unsafe I would have seen the hole! It was a great day to get out and get some fresh air.


Drew has continued to enjoy the cold weather and the snow. He gets out on walks with us a couple times a week, and looks so great in his winter weather gear. He loves to play in the snow and mom and him often even bring the snow inside to play when it gets to far below zero to play outside.

Andrew is looking so grown up in his warm clothes, standing up and all. Sure miss you guys!! Where's the picture of the wolf,deer,etc.? Just kidding, but didn't you know that it is more safe to fish on the ice than ride? Was talking to a pro-icefisherman and he was saying how dangerous the ice is near the islands because of current and stuff, so be careful!

Grandmas Marathon- getting faster!!

3:00:38 Grandmas Marathon PR!! I’m still smiling…things are coming along nicely in my marathon expertise! Haha, Im just being silly but I really am learning more as I go-what works best for me, what doesn’t.  June 17th was a blast!! Cramps hit strong in my left calf around mile 18 and then my pace got more limited as I went, I was so scared I would pull something that I tried to find the balance of push and hold up! Super proud of this race and the battle I fought. The marathon is a beast and continues to challenge me! Games ON still for the CIM Marathon on December 3rd. 😁First up though, trails and less miles for me for awhile. My friend Leah is a true gem, someone I really enjoy sharing running miles and life with. Kyle, Micah and I enjoyed time with Leah’s family in Duluth. Her sister Sara and brother-in-law Mike made us feel so welcome and special!  I’ve been getting faster and continue to PR each year since my late 30s, in fact the last time I raced Grandmas Marathon I ran a 3:16

Getting better and getting ready to go home!

Hey There! We thank all of you so much for all of your prayer support through this entire process. Go sure had His hand in this from the beginning. Anna and Micah are both doing just great. Yesterday was a hard day for Anna, She was very tired and had a hard time as the Doctors began to take her off of some of the pain meds she was not feeling good. She began to get a high temp,but that was all taken care of by early in the night and she slept great. She will be again trying to get of the IV pain meds and move to pills, if this goes well today we will be on our way home to see Drew tomorrow. Anna and I are both really loving the calm personality that God gave to little Micah as we know the high energy that Drew has waiting for us at home. We can't wait to see his little smile again and hear all of his animal noises and cars sounds. It will be so great to see the way that God grows these two boys only 17 months apart. It will be crazy and great all at the same time. Pray

Friday came quick!😅

 These full days have gone by super fast this week. Teaching full days to students who need my full attention, getting over a cold this week, spending time with all the boys each night, and keeping up with Kyle’s busy church schedule has had us all feeling like it has been a quick week! Micah and Caleb had a tennis meeting this week to get ready for their spring season, Kyle and I are really excited to cheer them on soon! Maybe sooner with how warm our weather has been this winter. It’s been fun to hear that Micah has been at the courts a lot already with his buddies, praying he has a solid season ahead for his Junior year.  Micah will be 17yrs old next Tuesday! It’s so crazy to think I have an 18yr old, almost 17yr old, 15yr old, and 12yr old….I wish I could keep them little.❤️ Each season of life looks so different. I never imagined this season looking the way it does. Working full time was never a dream of mine with such a busy family. However, God is so BIG. He is so much better in
