Friday Top5! The weather is getting colder!

 1. Flag Football comes to an end- Caleb wrapped up his football season with a few games under the lights at Carson Park last Saturday. It was a great season, him and his buddy Carter were on the same team!
 2. Back to the Track- Bringing back some speed again! Excited to do some track work and begin to improve on those 5k and 10k times! Turkey trot in November will be my first speedy attempt. My body is feeling really good post marathon!
3. Time with Caleb I really enjoyed time with Caleb yesterday on their 5th grade field trip to the environmental site! It was really fun to hang with him and his friends. He was so sweet grabbing my hand on occasion and making sure to eat lunch with me no matter where his friends were eating. He wasn't even concerned. Caleb has the sweetest heart, and it was a really special day with him. 

4. Praying for my boys. While at the field trip I took notice of the kids Caleb is going to school with each and every day. It was fun to see the different personalities and watch the teachers lead the trip. I was completely impressed. So thankful my kids go to a great school with teachers who care about these kids. Reminds me to continue to pray for my boys each day as they continue to shine for Christ in a school who needs Jesus. Blessed God is using my boys to bring the kids around them to Jesus and to know Jesus and to know they can live under His love and care for them. Our world is just so hopeless, empty, and lonely for so many of these kids. Breaks my heart.
5. Friday night rest. Tonight after a full day of teaching, I am thankful to rest. It was a great day teaching 1st graders but I'm so glad I get to stay home and rest. Friday night rest night is just what I need tonight!!

October is going by so quickly, the weather is cooling, and the nights are getting darker so much earlier....winter please take your time! No snow yet!!

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
