Matt's 9th Heavenly Birthday Unbelievable it has been nine years since Matt has gone to the best place ever, Heaven! There isn't a day that goes by that I think of so many times a day!! Myles is now getting more inquisitive about what his father was like. I see so many similar personality trait in him that you had. You were quite, shy and cute!! I see those same traits in Myles. I do feel bad that he got the Migraine's from my side of the family. I hope he grows out of them! You would be very proud of him! He is doing wonderful in school. He loves playing sports, music, playing with his sister and building things.

 Nate now has two kids. Please watch over Nate and Ksenia's kids. They are dealing with SMA. Hopefully they will find a cure for their future! I know you will watch over them and take care of them! Jenny's kids and Chrissy's kids are getting so big. Gavin is going to be 12 this year! Amazing how fast time is going!

 Grandma Jo and Grandpa Tony are doing not to bad. Grandpa Tony is slowing down but what do you expect at 90 years old. Grandma Jo is the same!! Grandma Aud and Grandpa Boy are doing pretty good. Grandpa Boy finally decided to retire. Now they both work for the trucking business. Keeps them real busy. So is your Dad. He puts in many hours at the post office and the trucking business. We all have learn to live life differently with you gone. We try to keep positive though. We try to put God first, family second and to be kind to everyone.

 This last year has been so different. We have lived through a pandemic. COVID .... March of 2020 we had to stay home. Most business and schools were closed. Only essential worker had to work....Doctors, Nurses, hospital workers, grocery workers, gas stations, post offices ... all were open. Kids, just like that had to learn on line. Very hard for all teachers to all of sudden have to start teaching on line. They ended there 2020 school year at home. By summer things got a little better but by end of summer we got a second round of people getting sick. Luckily our family and Casey's family did not get COVID. President Trump got the vaccine made uno pronto!! By February we were getting vaccines. Beginning of the 2020-2021 school year the kids were home every other week. By October they were all back in school. ST John's Lutheran was started the year in the class room. They did have a few class rooms that had a student or teacher that got sick so the whole class had to go home and quarantine for two weeks. Spent the year wearing a mask, washing hands constantly and trying to be self conscious of 6 feet distance away from people. A life changing year!
