Day with dad!

This past friday the boys and I had a day together.  Mom took off early in the morning for a day trip with the ladies to Bemidji for some shopping and lunch.  We took this as a guys only day and made the most of it.  We went to n at McDonald's and met our good friends Skip and Jim for Lunch and time to play.  The boys loved the time and spent an hour climbing up the towers and down the slides.  We went home and all took naps, what a relief!  After naps we woke up and raked a pile of leaves in the back yard, not for yard work, but to jump in of course.  Andrew then wanted to go to the library and play some computer games, read stories, do puzzles, and put on stickers.  After the library we headed home to meet mom and have Papa Murphy's pizza that she had brought home.  It was a very full, but great day.  We all slept great at night.  Check out the movies of our leaf pile.  Andrew and Micah would love it if you would leave them a comment about their leaf jumps so we could read them to them.

Have a great day!

Micah that was an awesome pile of leaves you raked. Nana couldn't see you once you went down the slide! You are getting to be such a big boy, just like your brother!

Andrew, I miss you so much. Wish I was there to plant bulbs with you this weekend. Your climbing and sliding is awesome too. Remember when we put that slide in last summer and it was off the ground a little bit? Now we know why...so you can have a great big leaf pile at the end! Soon it will be a big snow pile!

Love, Nana

Wow Drew, did you make that Big pile of leaves?? Looks like fun, Micah looks like he was tring to swim in the leaves when he flew off the end of the slide. I remember you both in a pile of laves last fall, I think you tried jumping out of the pile and scareing us...

Love you

Wow Andrew and Micah!! You two are some wild boys!! That leave pile looks awesome, you and your Daddy must have worked hard to get such a giant pile. It looks like so much fun to zoom down that slide and fly into all those crunchy leaves!

Sounds like you had a fun boys only day with your daddy! That pile of leaves looked like a lot of fun to jump in, that is the best part about this time of the year! Enjoy the leaves before they all blow away.

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...
