COVID-19 week 7- Golfing+Get it Dunn+Mother's Day

COVID-19 week 7
I stuck in a lot of fun events this week so be ready for a fully packed blog! The week started with our normal simple days at home, mowing, practicing our golf swing, and going for bike rides stopping to take a pic of the rare and crazy school announcement!

Drew and Jake using the big mower together. I love how Jake is sitting behind waiting and watching Drew. I am enjoying sweet moments like these each and everyday. 
Drew has really gotten into golf since no baseball is in action.... Kyle says he is already pretty good at it! I am loving having my Drew man home.
Jake and I were on a bike ride and I told Jake I had to stop and get a pic of this school announcement. Isn't this so bizarre?! Never do you see a school sign that says this! Even by week 7of COVID-19 things like this still shock me. 
The boys could not wait to go golfing with Kyle last Wednesday, they waited all day to go. They were so happy to have a guys night out!
 
My 5 happy guys!
I found these beautiful flowers for our moms, and we had fun delivering them on Friday. I am thankful to have our moms close by so we can take a day and see them both. So blessed by the greatest moms, I've learned so many things from each of them!
It was also my moms 64th birthday on Friday, it was fun celebrating her.  We shared a lemon meringue pie and it was so yummy!So nice to see family and break the rules a bit.
We took on the Get it Dunn Half last Saturday and had a blast! My body bounced back super quick after the EC Marathon last weekend. Thankful for a healthy, strong body to Praise God with. So grateful for God's gift to me. We started the course at 8a! Although sunny, it was a chilly start.
I had a fun morning running with my buddy Logan, he is a great runner and will be a Junior in HS in the fall. It was fun to get in a solid tempo run together. Fun morning!
Mother's Day turned out to be a special day with my guys. The weather wasn't the best but we all had great attitudes and made it a great day. Online church in the morning, naps after lunch, running the lake loop with Kyle and stopping to play pickle ball! Cubby's pizza for supper, my favorite pizza place around! It was a day with all my favorites!! Couldn't ask for a better crew! God is so good to me. 

COVID-19 week 7 
We're doing okay. We'd love to know if baseball season will ever happen? When can we eat at Culver's again? Our clothes are getting snug, when might TJ Maxx reopen?
Still lots of unknowns. But we will put our hope in you, Lord. 
"May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you."
Psalms 33:22

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

Big Bro Twin Cities Champion/Little Sis Big Woods 1/2 Marathon Champion

Image
My brother and I are the crazy runners in our family! We took on the Twin Cities Marathon challenge on October 7th and trained like mad to get ready for the event. We began the morning feeling great and ready to take on the challenge before us, yet not knowing only one of us would finish. Ben was taking on his first marathon and was looking forward to finishing and enjoying this wild adventure! I however have done a few of these already and was aimed to kick some butt in the process. So, different goals, but the same idea in mind-lets run the race for Christ. The race did not go as planned for me. The weather was extremely hot and humid and it totally took over my body. All I can really remember is thinking, "Wow it is really hot and I am really sweating!" With little to drink I passed out at mile 10 of the marathon! My time at that point was 1 hour 7 minutes..... on track for an amazing marathon. Truly discouraged I attempted to get back in the race to pass out AGAIN at mil

Wolf River White Water Rafting Youth Trip!

Image
We were able to start the tradition of taking the International Falls youth to the great Wolf River. We took a great group of kids who did not know what to expect and drove the 10 hours to the river. We spend 2 days rafting and then hit the road for home. The students and leaders had a great time navigating the rapids themselves, flipping a boat or two and of course the water falls were a huge hit. U had the opportunity to sit down at the camp fire and one day in our boat with some of the students who do not regularly come to our ministry and talk about the relationship with Christ. These discussions where by far the highlight of my trip, getting to encourage students in their faith and hear the testimony about how they came to know the Lord was just awesome. Our first night it rained more than i have ever seen, and most of our tents stayed dry. But our two days on the river could not have been any better bright sun and 85 or so which is really hot for us from the far north. We had on
