Dear Juliet….

Dear precious Jules,

This is your momma:)  I’ve come to terms that I may  not hear that phrase come out of your mouth, but so hope you know how much I love you.  I want you to know that you are strong!  You are a fighter!  and you continue to defeat the odds.  You are 32 weeks today.  We have known that you were special for about 6 weeks now, and although we have had time to learn/understand/adjust…it still doesn’t make it much easier.  Your doctors say that they just keep waiting for the call, but every night I smile when your kicks keep getting stronger and stronger.  Thank you for letting momma know that you are hanging on.  It’s those times that I wish I could just take you right out and snuggle you in my arms and kiss your cute little forehead, and whisper in your ear how much I love you.  For now I’ll just keep telling you through my belly.  Your brother and sister love you so much too.  Kynlee loves to rub you and Tate loves to feel you kick.  You usually kick right after he takes his hand off and he says that’s because you miss him.  They tell you often too how much they love you.  Today Tate thought it would be so cool if I could just open my mouth and not say anything but you could talk through it.  Then he said we could hear you, since you can hear us:)  He’s a really cool boy, he’s gonna be a great big brother to you.  I want you to know how many people love you and are praying for you.  God has a special plan for you little lady.  We are trusting Him for that.  Someday you’ll know, and someday I’ll know.  But for now, just keep kicking, okay? Lots of love baby girl!!

momma

The Oaks final outdoor reveal
By Allie Lundeen August 14, 2025
I pulled off the biggest surprise I've ever done... I can't believe it!! So a little back story - 17 years ago Ryan sold his prized possession, his 1991 Mazda Miata, to help fund a much needed mini van for our baby on the way. After I got pregnant I quit my job and we went from 2 incomes down to 1 income. We knew that a 2 person convertible just wasn't practical and that the finances could be used in a better way. So we sold it... Fast forward 17 years and it all comes back full circle. I put my 17 year old son Tate on the task of finding us a Miata that looked just like dads, and he blew it out of the water. He found the perfect car on Facebook Marketplace In great condition! He drove almost 3 hours to pick it up with a buddy and pulled off the best surprise ever!!! Also to note Tate has never driven through the Twin Cities or Driven a stick shift on any road besides a gravel one close to the cabin. BUT he was confident and crushed the challenge!! We stored it for the night and gave it to him the next day! I think Ryan's reaction says it all (watch the mini vlog below!) Our "19th" anniversary isn't until November but what fun is a convertible if you can't drive it in the summer, so we gave it to him early and are so happy we did! *make sure to read until the end for a good laugh ;)
