A Great Week!



Grandma and Grandpa came to visit us this week! Andrew and Micah always love to jump in bed with grandma and grandpa when they wake up in the morning. I can still hear them singing songs and laughing as they roll around in bed together. Mom and dad were introduced to the Wiggles videos for the first time! Mom said she still has "BBQ on the Beach" in her head!

We had such a fantstic week together. As the days continued we got into a fun routine of piling into Grandpas truck and taking off to go on a boat ride and picnic at our own private island! This was really fun as no one else was around and we could go swimming and picnic all by ourselves! One island we really liked was called MIO Beach.

While Grandpa was with us we had him help us with some much needed yard work. Kyle and dad worked hard but also found time to go fish for Walleye. They say they caught close to 50 walleye together total! Mom and I were so impressed.

Grandma is always helpful in the kitchen and looking for areas in the house that needs an extra touch. We made peach pie and froze tomotoes and peppers from the garden together. I am now very well stocked for winter!

Andrew showed off riding his bike around town and on the sidewalks. Micah loved singing and pretending he was driving Grandpa's truck whenever he had the chance! We also enjoyed two trips to the ice cream shop and throwing rocks in at Rainy Lake.
What great memories we shared with Grandma and Grandpa this week!

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...
