COVID-19 week 4

Week 4 Gunderson COVID-19 Schedule
Each week we get a little more silly together, a bit more creative with our time, and more relaxed at being home together. I'm actually secretly enjoying this time, I know the boys are missing baseball and friends, teachers and at times the school routine, but I gotta say I love having them here too! Our slower pace, Kyle home more, and time together has been such a gift to me....

Kyle and Bonfires! Just cracks me up because Kyle could have a bonfire every single night for our family and feel like he is in heaven. I love sitting outside with him and visiting together because he is so enjoying the moment! And I'm getting better about cleaning up supper quick and getting out there!
Easter Morning! Still those same Easter smiles, just bigger boys! Fun tradition of finding their baskets and bringing them to the family room and digging in!


Easter Service Online went so well and we so enjoyed the service together! It was a very unique way to have Easter and one I will NEVER forget having Kyle home on an Easter Sunday. So weird!!
Our bunny cake was decorated by these two and they had fun doing it all by themselves!
A game of Monopoly was played on Easter and dad won! I decided to let the guys enjoy some time together, and read my book. :)
Last Friday we took a nice walk at the Red Cedar Trail together. The sun was so nice but the temps still a bit chilly!!
We walked 1 mile before turning around! Here is our proof!
These days are so precious and I am hoping to up my blogging going forward. This time we have together will never be given back to us and I am so thankful for each day we get to spend together as a family and I get to spend with Kyle. 
Beyond blessed. 

COVID-19  Motto
Closer. Stronger. Living Lighter. 

Closer- using this time to grow closer with my family and close friends. writing letters, giving phone calls, trying out marco polo, visiting with my neighbors, being present at home, spending time with the kids, going for walks, bonfires with Kyle, bike rides as a family, hiking, laughing, talking....growing closer

Stronger- becoming stronger through this season. learning to let go of control and becoming stronger in giving God full control and surrendering to Him. plans for our summer, seeing family, getting life back to normal. 

Living Light- this is my 2020 motto and it has been such a good motto for me this year in not getting anxious, to live light and enjoy each day I am given, to love my family and others, laugh more, run free and enjoy the gift of running and let go and enjoy the beauty that living with 5 guys brings! keep it light!

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
