Happy 1st Birthday Micah!

Today Micah turned 1 years old! We can hardly believe how fast this year has gone! Micah is such a precious little creation of God. We are so thankful for his humor and continuous energy he provides to our home.

A year ago today I experienced one of the most tragic moments in my life. I remember my water breaking at 1:00AM Sunday night and thinking "Oh no! My baby is coming and we have to go 100 miles to the closest hospital!" Normally it wouldn't have been so dramatic because we have a hospital 1 mile away from our home. However, the surgeon was out of town and we needed to be secured by a surgeon in case a c-section would need to take place. So, we called our dearest friend Lynn to come to our home to take care of Andrew so we could take off to Virginia, MN. My great and mighty husband Kyle drove the fastest he claims ever and got us 100 miles in roughly an hour or a little more. Thankfully I was still doing ok and we did not have baby Micah in the car (our greatest fear!).

Around 7:30 AM I began "trying" to deliver our precious Micah and after only half an hour Micah would not budge and was not doing well. They rushed me into an emergency c-section and Micah was born at 8:10AM! SCARY!!! During the whole process I lost tons of blood and the doctor was quite worried about my health/survival. Praise God for family and prayers that supported my husband and me. Kyle' s dad came in the moment Kyle was at his worst and was able to pray and be of support to him. My mom and dad were soon behind ready to help and be of support in any way.
Healing was a process following my surgery, but by Gods grace on me I began feeling strong and healthy again. God again reminded me of my life verse that continues to hold true in many of my life's circumstances: Proverbs 3:5- "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding: in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight."

We were thankful to celebrate Micah today as a family and rejoice in Gods sovereignty!

To God be the Glory!

Enjoy the pictures of Micah's 1st Birthday.

Happy Birthday Micah!
Children are gifts from God and it is always fun to hear the stories of parents a year after they are brought into this world. God truly is faithful and it is amazing to think of the ways in which He works. We praise God that both Anna and Micah are well today.
We love you guys!

Anna - I still get choked up when I think about Micah's birth. God has great plans for you and little Micah! It is a miracle that you are both here today. Many may not understand the seriousness of what you went through or the situation you could have been in if you had not made the choice to go to the next hospital. God is so good! A little late posting, but I have been meaning to for awhile. Hope all is well.

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
