Growing up too fast!





It has never made much sense to me when people told me that kids just grow up too fast. I didn't know what they meant and it I certainly did not think that I would ever be the type of person that would be saying the same thing, but it happened to me this past month. It really has been amazing to see Andrew grow up before our eyes. I knew that one day I would look back and wonder where all the time went but it is happening too early. He is just 15 months old and i am already wondering where all the time went.




It feels like just last week that he would sit in our arms and look up at us and just stay there, and it certainly does not seem like more than just last week when he was crawling around the house, but now he is walking everywhere and not at all interested in crawling anymore. The more new things he learns the more I learn as a parent about taking care of him. My life is now full of chasing this little daddy's boy around the house, making car noises with him, giving tons of hugs, and high five's. Andrew is just such a joy to us each day and we love watching him grow up, but it is truly going too fast.

Well, unfortunately, or fortunately, your mom will be your first blog "guest." What a great way to stay in touch. Andrew looks like such a big boy. What a fine big brother he will make. Hurry to Denver as I miss you and can't wait to see you! Kisses to my grandson! Love, Nana

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 ...

Big Bro Twin Cities Champion/Little Sis Big Woods 1/2 Marathon Champion

My brother and I are the crazy runners in our family! We took on the Twin Cities Marathon challenge on October 7th and trained like mad to get ready for the event. We began the morning feeling great and ready to take on the challenge before us, yet not knowing only one of us would finish. Ben was taking on his first marathon and was looking forward to finishing and enjoying this wild adventure! I however have done a few of these already and was aimed to kick some butt in the process. So, different goals, but the same idea in mind-lets run the race for Christ. The race did not go as planned for me. The weather was extremely hot and humid and it totally took over my body. All I can really remember is thinking, "Wow it is really hot and I am really sweating!" With little to drink I passed out at mile 10 of the marathon! My time at that point was 1 hour 7 minutes..... on track for an amazing marathon. Truly discouraged I attempted to get back in the race to pass out AGAIN at mil...

Lately  I have been asked by many- “Now that you’ve accomplished one of your biggest goals, what’s next??” and to be honest I have been really soaking up my 2:58:01 marathon accomplishment and feeling extremely grateful my body felt so strong and healthy for that race. I will never take for granted a healthy body… many of you know my journey has included some pretty tough injuries along the way. So first, I really haven’t hurried to find a “next goal” but have sat in awe and thankfulness. All that to say I am a goal kinda girl and love a good challenge. So on Jan 1, 2024 I signed up to race the Javelina Jundred with some of my greatest running buddies! It will be my 2nd 100miler and this time will be held in Arizona (not Iowa) where it will be very hot. My goal tho will be to have a blast with running friends and finish the race- different then a road race goal….  I really love a good challenge!!  easy trail runs have started….and at the perfect time when the wild flowers...
