Happy Birthday Andrew!!

It has been awhile since we have updated everyone. We got home from a pastors retreat in Dallas TX about a week ago and it has been super busy ever since! I will BLOG later about our trip to Dallas, but more importantly I wanted to let everyone know that Andrew turned 3 last Thursday!
We celebrated with family when we were in the cities before Kyle and I took off for Dallas, and Andrew was completely thrilled! He smiled all night long and clapped after everyone sang for him. Again Grandpa made an amazing cake for Andrew's birthday. Our theme this year was Mickey Mouse since we will be going on a Disney Cruise at the end of February 2009. Andrew loved his special night with Grandpa, Grandma, GG, uncle Ben and aunt Kara, cousin Kaylee, and Great Grandparents Jean, Dorothy and Curt.

On Thurday October 9th we had a fun day with Drew on his actual birthday. For breakfast we had donuts and eggs with daddy before he went to work. Midmorning we went to storytime with Drew and Micah's friends at the library where Andrew insisted on wearing his special birthday hat! For lunch daddy picked him up and took him out for pizza! After naps we went to cheer on the high school Cross Country team and Andrew ran around with mommy screaming and cheering for all our students we know from church! We then raced home and ate supper before Andrew's birthday party with some of our church family/friends. Many of Andrew's special friends including Lynn, Skip, Rachel , Nick, pastor Erik, Macy, Laura, and others made Andrew's birthday extra special!Breakfast-Donuts and Eggs with Daddy!

It was so fun to celebrate with all of you! It's hard to believe little Drew is three years old already! Time really does fly - what a reminder to cherish every moment!

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
