Getting Bigger!

Caleb is 9 months old already! It has been so much fun watching him grow in the last month! Caleb has 4 teeth now (two on bottom and two on top), talking all the time (no words yet!), crawling all over the house, and eating more foods like the rest of us. Caleb weighs 17 1/2 lbs which puts him in the 9% in weight and he is only in the 17% in height! We definately have a little man on our hands! Andrew and Micah were much more in the 50% and over for both weight and height. Kyle is a bit worried Caleb is going to be short like his mommy. I think it sounds great because maybe I'll have one little track star in the family! Caleb is not a big sleeper but we manage to get a 2 1/2 hour nap in the afternoon and he sleeps through the night, mostly. Caleb still occassionally likes his middle of the night bottle. I have to admit that I still enjoy this middle of the night feeding as it allows some quiet snuggle time. These can be the most precious moments when having little children. Nothing is sweeter than holding a sleeping baby in your arms.
Caleb loves playing with his older brothers when he gets to sit in their forts and watch them shoot hoops! He also loves going for walks in the stroller and going for bike rides in the trailer! Caleb likes plants and loves pulling out the dirt and sucking on the leaves.....yes he is the 3rd child! He also enjoys watching mommy blow dry her hair and holds her hair brush while he waits. Caleb loves to dance with mommy and groove to Toby Mac (mommies favorite music)! Andrew and Micah love watching Caleb crawl and get into mischief, but most of all they love taking baths with him and splashing in the water.
It has been fun watching Caleb grow and learn about the world around him. We are all still getting use to the idea that he can get into everything! Soon he will be walking! We will keep you posted.....

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...
