Menomonie Wisconsin!!!

I have finally figured out how to put pictures on our computer and can update you all on how we are doing in Menomonie! The boys and I are truly enjoying the town and the many opportunities we have to meet other people in the community. So far we have really enjoyed storytime at the library, swimming, the sports center in Eau Claire (only 25 minutes away), bowling, Mcdonald's for lunch with new friends, and biking outside on the long driveway!
The boys have been very content in the cabin that we are staying at temporarily and we have lots of fun with the many toys we brought with us!
A new favorite is jumping on mom and dads bed to Toby Mac!
Caleb loves going to the Sports Center when they play parachute games! He loves the action!
Andrew loves playing soccer with new buddies he meets at the Sports Center.
Micah is adjusting to Menomonie well but once in awhile asks about his preschool friends in I Falls. He really enjoys playing with Andrew and going outside for walks and bike rides.
Kyle is adjusting to his new job as well and we are all finding ourselves blessed to be following God's call on our family. We would love continued prayers in the sale of our home in I falls as we still have not sold our home. We have the blessing of staying in this cabin until May and then will need to come up with plan B. My prayer is that we will be able to move right into our new home by the end of April. Please join us in prayer as we continue to seek Gods plan in this process. Love you all!

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...
