This actually happened!
HONESTLY!
And their address is in Minnesota!
I've prayed for this for 10 years...
🙏
But, I never knew it would actually happen!
This wonderful family packed up their belongings
and moved to Minnesota.
This wonderful family packed up their belongings
and moved to Minnesota.
Yes, I know I repeated myself!
I keep saying it over and over to myself
and someday I will actually believe it!
Because it is too good to be true!
So many wonderful memories were made right in front of this window!
It was sad for them to leave this home, this neighborhood, their friends,
Ali's future husband and most importantly,
their beloved Omi and Grandpa,
(and Auntie, Uncle and precious niece).
Babies being born, holidays celebrated
and so many beautiful memories made!
I think they were very brave to take the leap!
The Mom and Dad arrived midsummer,
to close on their home!
(Seriously, is this for real!)
They celebrated and took care of some "new home owners" business!
We were so happy to get together with the bigs that were in MN!
This makes a Momma's heart so full 💞
(Matt, Caitlin and family had not arrived in MN yet,
bc this was early/mid summer.)
Papa was in charge of the crew at home!
They took awesome hikes in the woods,
caught many frogs and bugs,
and played some video games!
While the ladies and some incredible helpers
did a lot of unpacking!
It was ALL such a JOY!
First Day of school photos!
Love these three sooooo much!
First Day of preschool for this lil dude!
First day... maybe second day of second grade!
Woot, Woot!
FYI-
I am an "in town Nana" right now!
I've never been one before
and it is quite amazing!
(As my mother would say-
take smaller steps and stand up straight.)
Who knew, she was right... all along!
First day of Kindergarten!
It is such a blessing to see them almost everyday!
What a joy to see a double rainbow!
It's been too long!
And for the first time in 10 years
they made it to her college homecoming!
It was fun for Katie to go down memory lane
and show
her family around town!
We were able to help out with a kindergarten project
while babysitting at their house!
We are so thankful, grateful and feeling blessed!
Welcome to Minnesota!
