WhatsUp Mr. Andrew?!

A. AWANAS: Andrew loves going to Cubbies on Wednesday nights to play in the Gym and hang out with his friends. Their are 18-20 little cubbies that he plays with each week! His memory verse this week is "...We should love one another." 1 Jn. 3:11
N. NEVER TAKES NAPS: Since Andrew turned 4 he has declared that he no longer takes naps and is determined to show us that He will not be napping! He loves to play on the computer at playhousedisney.com whenever he can and loves spending time in his sticker book or doing crafts with mommy.
D. DRESSES FOR SUCCESS: Andrew loves going to preschool every Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. This week they will have their Valentine party and we made yummy Valentine cookies to bring on this special occassion! Also this week they will be learning about the letter P. On school mornings Andrew always wants to dress nicely and says, "I need to dress for success mom!" I smile to myself everytime he says this because he is such a typical 1st born!! Last Friday he had preschool screening and did a great job! Kindergarten will be here before we know it! Yikes!
R. REMEMBERS EVERYTHING: Andrew remembers everything we tell him. If we say we will go skating in the afternoon he makes sure we don't forget we are going skating! He also remembers things that we have done together with other family members or friends that sometimes is so bazaar! It sure makes Kyle and I think about what we say before we speak!!
E. ENERGETIC: Andrew is ready to play and be active the minute he gets out of bed. He has neverending energy that all of us which we had!!! He wakes up around 8:00AM and doesn't stop until 9:00PM at night. He loves life and can't get enough of the world around him. I think he gets this trait from his daddy!
W. WINS AT Wii GAMES: Andrew loves playing Wii and will challenge anyone to a game of bowling, shooting hoops, swordfighting or frizbee. He is only allowed to play at certain times now that we realized how addicted he can get. Just like all of us in the Gunderson house there is plenty of competition flowing through his veins!

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...
