Leading up to Christmas~

 D.A.R.E Graduation for Drew! It was fun to see all the 5th graders wearing their matching D.A.R.E t-shirts and enjoying this event together.
 We had fun hanging out with our church family reenacting the Christmas story in a fun way! Our group had no trouble having a little fun. Our boys vote this was way better then singing in front of church on a Sunday morning! Ha!
 Practicing our IN/OUT song was Hilarious!! However, we got our act together and did Amazing!
 AND the best part was Micah was Joseph!! Look at that hair! If you got up nice and close to Micah he had a great smell of coffee because his beard was made of coffee grounds! Brilliant. I'm not sure if  he loved taking that in for 2 hours but he did Great.
 We've had a few really good sledding days together already. Some a bit colder then others but these boys don't feel the temp difference like I do!
 Jake is so brave tubing it scares me. He jumps right on his belly and takes off head first! I'll keep you posted on any injuries...
 Christmas school concert Recorder time!
 Micah did a nice job on his solo part and is so confident like his daddy in front of people. Proud of him!
 Jake took on the spot light at the live nativity play on Wednesday night. It was really neat walking through the story of the birth of Jesus together as a family.
 Lots of kids were apart of making this night so special.
 Enjoying the boys home for Christmas! I have always enjoyed baking with the boys at Christmas time. I think it is getting much easier as they get older. I'm getting to a point I can just watch!
 Micah is a total pro at this. Love this boys heart for Christmas decorating and baking.
And last but not least our cookie decorators! These 2 stuck by my side and mixed up the frosting colors deciding on blue and red! Lots of smiles and a big mess...but worth every minute!!

Christmas 2016, we are Ready for You!!

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
