What a BIG Boy!!!

Caleb James is already 7 months old!!! What a wonderful addition to the Gunderson clan he is! The first trait in becoming a Gunderson is to LOVE nap times. Kyle has loved nap time ever since I've known him and still does today:) All the boys in our house love to sleep and sleep well. Caleb is sleeping through the night and loves his 1 hour morning nap and 2-3 hour afternoon nap! We are so thankful. Caleb loves to sleep on his tummy like the picture shows and we are hoping he foregoes the famous "bald spot" that Andrew and Micah both got at about this age!
The second trait in becomming a Gunderson is to love being active and staying busy! Caleb loves our afternoon family activities and has enjoyed going to the skating rank with the boys! He especially loves when Kyle and I swirl him around the ice on this sled!!

Although Caleb is not quite stable enough to stand up on his own for long, he loves playing with this toy and will sit and play with many of his favorites. Caleb is becomming more independant now and will play alone for 15-20 minutes! I love this because I can clean up the kitchen, get Andrew and Micah dressed or go to the bathroom without anyone joining me!! Yahoo!!
It is amazing to see that Caleb can already sit up on his own! Where does the time go? It makes me a little sad as many of you know that I love babies and he is growing so fast! However, it is so much fun watching him play with Andrew and Micah and becoming the little guy God created him to be. The third and final trait in becoming a Gunderson is to love life and enjoy every opportunity God gives us in sharing Christ with others. We aren't worried about this one as Caleb is such a joy to all of us and others! We love you Caleb!!!

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...
