Quarantine January

 Yep. Totally started the year off with a BANG!!💥 COVID style. Looking back on it now, it all worked out but man it was a bummer 4 Us. 

How did you all get Quarantined, you ask?? Let me tell ya!

Drew- he was in close contact during basketball practice w a player who tested positive, sadly the team had to all quarantine and hold off on playing for two weeks, plus no going to school.

Micah went sledding with some friends, who tested positive for COVID and had to also quarantine for two weeks.

Caleb sneezed in class 🤧 and was immediately sent home bc of one symptom but also bc the other two brothers were home, they sent him home. Thankfully after getting Caleb tested, and having negative results, he can go back to school tomorrow.

Jake was sent home bc Caleb sneezed 🤧 and could have COVID. Total craziness!! Since Caleb tested negative, he is set to go back to school tomorrow as well.

Kyle and I are living in the same house as these four, so we tried our best to stay sane and enjoy this time with them. 🤪

The beginning of 2021 has looked a little bit like this for us...

Ice skating! We have really enjoyed our new outdoor rink and it was so much fun watching Kyle and Drew play some hockey together.

Family walks have been really fun and at times hard when the boys argue about something really stupid, for the most part fun though! 😉 

Braces! Micah got his braces put on before he was put on quarantine, and he is doing really well with them! I think he looks really great too.
Running+ Snow angels on lake Menomin my little escape from home and fun adventure! I’ll definitely be back!

More ice skating +bonfire on Friday morning when we had the place to ourselves. So nice to skate together!


Sledding in Eau Claire was fun too, and nice to leave town for an afternoon.

We have made the best of our quarantine days, but really hoping to return to our mostly normal routine soon. Not the way we wanted to start off the new year BUT it turned out to be okay, and gave us some more time to laugh, play cards, do a few more puzzles, argue some, sleep more, and watch some more funny YouTube videos!!❄️We are healthy and that’s what I’m most thankful for.❤️

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
