Spring Performances

Image
This Spring we had fun going to Andrew's play and first piano recital! He is growing up so fast!  Andrew was the storyteller in his class play, "The Enormous Turnip!" He did fantastic! Andrew is confident just like his daddy in front of an audience.                                                                      Way to go Drew!! The whole crew Andrew has enjoyed playing piano this year and looked forward to seeing his teacher each tuesday night. Micah is excited to join too in the fall! You are growing so much Drew and we are so proud of you!

One terrific weekend spending time with family in Fargo, ND. On our drive up we stopped in to see uncle Jesse and aunt Sarah in Fergus Falls! The boys loved seeing their townhouse for the very first time! It was so nice that they made us lunch too! Andrew and Jake hanging outside at uncle Jesse's house! It was so special to see our big boy Elijah!!! He is truly the sweetest little guy ever!! Always smiling and now so busy and alert! So glad we get to spend a whole week with him in June!! Love you E man! When we got to Fargo we unloaded and gave lots of hugs to our nana and gg, auntie Sara, uncle Phil and Callie, Joey and Sam!! It was so great to see everyone again and catch up. The 1/2 and 1 mile kids run started that night as the boys got on their shirts and bibs and were waiting to race!! What speedy runners we have!! Everyone did great and got medals at the finish!! Micah took 3rd place this year for kids!! Way to go speedy guy! :) I was really impres

 What a blessing it was to head back to International Falls, MN and see so many faces of people that we love so much!! It was so fun to hear how everyone was doing and seeing all the kids that have grown up so much!! Two years makes everyone look older!!! Kyle and I took a beautiful drive along our favorite Rainy Lake and I love this picture taken right in Ranier! Nothing can replace this beautiful place or these beautiful people.
