Memories leading us to Christmas!

December Memories~
We made lots of memories as a family leading us right up to Christmas! 
Lots of fun pics to help us remember what we did. Take a peak!
Sledding Day with Mom! Weather was perfect for Drew to sled in his Under Armour sweatshirt...his favorite way to go!
Caleb is one brave 5 year old when he's sledding. No fear!
 Christmas tree time! Love taking grandma and grandpa along for the hunt. Great Smiles!
 Always love the tradition of finding the perfect tree with my dad. Brings back many memories of him and I growing up walking all around to find just the right one! Glad he is still apart of these moments with me.

 Found it! Kyle is almost as tall as our tree! I'm sure someday all 5 guys will be as tall as our Christmas tree!
 These 4 boys make me smile. They love being outside and being together.

Nice to see Santa and Mrs. Clause. Boys are always a bit shy and not so sure, but they're smiling!
Tree is up!
So glad to have Kyle back home from Honduras. Great trip for him!
Jake made it through his first teeth cleaning with a smile! Love the shades!
Baking with Bethany was so special for Jake and I. We hope this is a new tradition for us!
Christmas Parade with friends!
Love this pic of the boys watching the fireworks.
School Program for Drew. He did super!
Christmas concert at Cedarbrook. Love these smiles under the bright lights.
Jake was so excited to be apart of the concert and knew his songs well...nice and loud for us to hear!

Fun night watching Home Alone2 and eating pizza with some of our favorite people! Great night as a family!

Jake and his favorite buddy Logan. Shoveling!
Having lunch with friends is so fun!
More baking since we ate most of what we made already! One more batch for Santa!
Great work Caleb! Bailey looks excited about these cookies too!

Love making Memories with those we love the most!! Its Christmas Time!!!

Here is an example of a nice, but self-indulgent family who are helping to widen the gap between rich and poor.

Sure, they are middle class, but these people do nothing for the community, and their kids will do even less, all of them safe in their little enclaves of their class, their half.

Here is another example of a hateful and ignorant post by Anonymous who continues to live in his/her safe enclave behind a monitor. The problem with people like Anonymous is that they like to cast stones at others and criticize certain lifestyles, while never offering anything of substance in terms of fixing the wrongs in society. The amount of energy expended by Anonymous on hating others could be used to make the world a better place.

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
