COVID-19 Week 1

Week 1 Gunderson COVID-19 Schedule
Our 1st week after coming home from Florida was really a drastic switch for us! We all handled it pretty well last week...
Of course the teacher inside me decided a schedule would make our day feel more fulfilled and less chaotic so I have been following a light routine daily- at roughly these times

9a  each day at 9AM we head out for a family walk together. The route changes each day but we all head out on bike or walking together. I have ere ally enjoyed having Kyle join us for these walks each day before he heads to church. We are thankful he has still been able to work at church as it is easier for him to get his work done and for us to be noisy at home!
9:45a we get our bibles, journals and books and do our devotions and reading time. The boys were hesitant at first with this but now have really gotten into the schedule and are enjoying a quiet house to spend time with God and read. 

10-11a is craft time, puzzles, games, or baking/cooking with mom! each day looks a little different during this hour but it has been fun to make taco dip with Drew, sugar cookies with Caleb, working on a puzzle with Micah and playing uno with Jake. 

11-12p is free time or for the older guys it has been homework time for them. All their work is done online- so far it has been writing papers, zooming with classmates, and connecting with teachers by phone or email. Still getting into the school routine with teachers online. 


12p lunch time
1-2p  chore time. each day looks different but lately it has been outside jobs- pick up sticks, removing wood chips so we can put in rocks instead around the house...

2-4pm technology time.  this is when the boys will do their technology websites the teachers have assigned them- Zearn, Prodigy, EPIC, writing center, etc. If all online schoolwork is complete then they can play games.
4-6pm outside time to get fresh air. Sometimes we go for a jog, hike, shoot hoops, home run derby as a family, bean bag tournaments, ride bikes, etc.
6p- suppertime
7-9p Family/ TV time. We've been enjoying movies or family games together during this time before bed.
9:30p  bedtime.

Week 1 went very well overall. Of course we had a few moments where it was tough, or isolated feeling, but I was very proud of my crew for managing a whole new life change in a very positive way. We will continue living One Day At A Time putting God first and trusting in Him.

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
