Winter days...

2014 has started out being one incredibly COLD winter!!! This is how we enjoy our days together indoors...
We love playing games....Hungry Hungry Hippo is Jake's favorite.
Caleb loves Go Fish!
Micah is our Connect Four man!
The boys happened to all go to the window at the same time and I'm glad I captured this moment...Please can we play outside??!!:) 
Temps -20 or colder does not allow little boys to go outside:( 

Daddy starts bonfires for us often so we can warm up our toes and enjoy chatting by the fire!
Andrew's feet are almost as big as mommy's!
Cookies, cookies, cookies...if you know us we are always baking cookies together! Special time with Caleb. Sugar cookies are his favorite and he loves squishing the dough with sugar and a cup! Someday I hope I visit him and he makes us sugar cookies to sit down and share. He's got the technique down perfect!:) 
Caleb and I enjoyed some much needed alone time to the movies! We saw, "Frozen" after several raving reports from his buddies at school...success! We loved it!! 

Andrew and Micah enjoyed learning how to snowboard with Nana and GG!! Great day all feeling loved and special. Met up for tacos later!!

Fridays continue to be ultra amazing having daddy to play and hang out with. One of our very favorite things to do together is going out to lunch!! Chips and salsa, chicken fingers and french fries are our favorite!!:) 

Cold winter mornings bring lots of ABC practice...

and craft time! However, this particular morning mommy ran out of creative crafts so we decided to take craft time to our toes with markers!! Whatever works as long as we are together!!:) 

Even though we have had many many indoor winter days...we are enjoying each one with gratitude.

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
