A Week Without Daddy....

We spent the first 10 days of November without Kyle as he headed out to Honduras on a mission trip!! We were all super excited for him to go and help people find clean water to drink!!! While he was gone we thought of some fun things to do together to make our time special too...
Andrew loves his friend Walker this year. These two boys love being together and do the silliest things!! 
Caleb loves swimming so he was really looking forward to wearing his goggles and jumping in!! We 
had a great afternoon at the pool!!!

Sunday afternoon, Sten offered to play football with the boys while I took Jake in the stroller for a run!!! Felt so great for all of us to get fresh air and for the boys to get some awesome Sten time in!! Thankful for great neighbors!!!
That night we were invited to join the Lewis family for pizza and enjoyed a fun night of laughing and playing together with them.... we love hanging out with them!!!
A few picnics throughout the week in the living room made things feel different and special too!! 

The Fanetti family invited us over for a yummy lasagna supper and hot tub party!!! So great to have somewhere to go and be with friends we love!!!

Loved spending time with Micah this week snuggling, playing checkers, reading, and throwing the football together.
Jake loves stickers, markers, and paint!!! I know....awesome!! He was having some special mommy time in the afternoon before we went to pick up Caleb from school. 

A huge blessing for me this week came on Wednesday morning at 8:30am...My new and sweetest friend Erica and her little girl Lucy came over and played with Caleb and Jake so I could get out on a run.... truly truly thankful!! Jake loves Lucy and jumps up and down when he sees her coming over!! I love this picture Erica sent me of their morning together. Looking forward to more fun memories of them together. That night Erica came over with some awesome Mac and Cheese, amazing apple cookies, and apple slices.... we were truly loved on by the Carlson family this week!! Love them all!!

Loved spending time with these little boys on Friday!! I love how silly, innocent and full of life they are!! Such a joy:) 
Caleb convinced me to buy him a big fat hotdog at SamsClub...and he loved every bite!! You rock Caleb!!!:) 
Saturday morning brought us to some B-Ball action and as you can see we were silly!!!
There was lots of laughing and quality time spent together just the boys and I this week. I love when we fill our hours during the day of being together. It was so awesome to have such great quality time with just my boys!!! This week the boys and I had a week we will never forget and we become stronger in our relationship because of these weeks.....doesn't mean we didn't miss daddy like crazy!!!! Glad he's home and his trip was incredible!!!!!

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
