Summer begins!


It really does feel like summer is here now! No more zoom meetings, assigned school work or reading assignments for us. Our days seem to fill up though as we have transitioned into doing other things. Drew has been working for Susie Nelson 2-3 times a week, he is enjoying making some of his own money and getting a pay check! This is Susie's house.
The guys headed out to the Boundary Waters last week and had a fantastic time away together. I'm so glad Kyle had a great time with friends and they hope to head back next year!
A summer day with friends! Felt great to get wet and swim!!  Thankful for friends with pools!
Biking to get donuts was really fun! We were bummed Donut Sam's was all out of donuts, but Dick's still had some great ones left. Plan B worked out pretty good.

We met Amy and the kids at Glen hills park and had so much fun swimming! The boys swam across the lake and thought they were pretty fancy stuff! The weather was perfect and we so enjoyed spending time together.
We also went to Hudson while Kyle was gone and went swimming in the St. Croix river, another beautiful day to be in the water and enjoy time in the sunshine!
We tried a new pizza place called Calbones Pizza and it was really good. We will be back with Kyle soon I hope!
I had so much fun running at Willow River last weekend and enjoyed visiting with a new friend! We had a lot of fun running the trails together and then when she left I enjoyed some needed solitude. So pretty here! Can't wait to go back!
I also checked out Lowe's Creek and had fun on all the single track trails. Another beautiful morning with my friend Leah and some great solitude time. It was such a fun weekend of trail running and I am really enjoying the switch up from running only on the roads, my legs feel great too.
Kyle made it home safe and had a wonderful time away, and the boys and I had a nice weekend together. It was a great weekend overall.

Now it's time to get ready to head out on our 1st vacation of the summer, Webb Lake! We are all so excited to spend time with family and relax together. Lots to get ready to go, but then rest time!!!
Summer Begins!!

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
