Pilgrims' Home

Micah turned 10 weeks yesterday, and we love watching him grow, laugh, and even cry. He is a happy kid with the perfect amount of energy! Lindsay returns to work on Monday, so pray that the transition goes well. We have a great woman who will care for Micah throughout the week!

Our day in Grand Marais - so fun, we decided to stick around for another!

Micah took his first road trip, and though the first 45 minutes were brutal on the parents, Micah fell asleep in the car and we made it 250 miles in a mere 7 hours. The hospitable and gracious Bevis' invited us to take over their cabin for a few days in Ely, MN. It is a beautiful Swedish Stuga that breathes welcome and rest. During our time in Ely we spent the morings sleeping, going to the coffee shop and touring the town. In the afternoon, Lindsay was able to rest, and Kyle went for canoe and kayak rides. One afternoon, Char Robinette offered to come over and watch Micah so that we could go for a romantic canoe ride and swim together. Char and Bob are the nextdoor neighbors and our good friends who just moved to Ely (full-time) in August. Saturday morning we went to the historic Burntside Lodge (one of the million places to visit before you die) for breakfast with Char and Bob. It was a wonderful morning overlooking the lake and enjoying good conversation. Char and Bob were so he...

It is hard to believe that Micah is 2 months old tomorrow! I am not sure where the time has gone, but it definitely has not gone to my schoolwork. I look forward to a schedule in the coming weeks as Lindsay goes back to work, I start teaching, and we both try to find some sense of normalcy. We are grateful that our parents are coming to help out during the first two weeks of the return to church. Micah is cute and adorable, and it is extremely hard to not think of him as perfect. The other night I simply prayed - Lord, I will make big mistakes as a dad, but let thenm not be so big that he remembers. I love being a dad, especially with Lindsay as the mom! (Pray for gorver he is feeling quite left out!) Enjoy the pictures.
