Fargo Family Weekend!

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 impressed with Caleb this year as he only walked once and told me during the race to pick it up and run faster mom!!! Pretty good for my almost 4 year old!!
Another picture of the kids finished and proud!
Just hanging out and talking about the race...
Sammy was so nice to let his cousin Jake snuggle in close in his stroller! They snacked on pretzels and hung out as everyone was looking around at running gear and deals in the Fargo dome.
Swimming Time! So great to watch all the cousins swimming and enjoying time together! Thanks again auntie Sara for sharing that yummy licorice!
A few water tricks to share...
favorite water slide...
being together...
That night Kyle and Nana took on the 5k and dominated!! Nana even took 2 whole minutes off her time! Kyle did great too despite a leg injury this spring!
One of the best parts to our weekend was our cheerleaders! They were the best!! Saturday morning Phil ran the full marathon and I ran the half marathon. The races went fine but the cheering was AMAZING!! A race full of high fives and encouragement the whole way!! Incredible!!
Micah and mom hanging out visiting about our races and talking about the next race we will do...
Phil after his full marathon. Tired but thrilled to complete another race of endurance and perseverance!!

Thankful for a great weekend with family. So nice to eat, play, visit, run, cheer and swim together! A wonderful weekend of FAMILY, FAITH and FUN!!!

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
