There's No Place Like Home.....And Mommy!

As parents we find that there are moments our kids really want to spend time with their daddy and moments that mommy seems best....

This blog is focused on mommy because it seems as though my sweet boys really need that nurturing and comforting love that only a mommy can give. So, it is fun to share a few sweet mommy moments!!!

Micah's love language we are learning is TIME. So, Micah and I love to play the game Sorry, snuggle reading stories and laughing together, rubbing his back and playing Angry Birds!!
Micah loves to share about his day, tell me how he served Jesus at school and what him and Andrew did at recess.
Andrew's love language is also TIME and he loves when we are together as a family. Andrew and daddy brought home flowers one Tuesday night after piano just because he had missed mommy so much at school that day! Andrew, your love for your family is a blessing to all of us. Thank you for your kindness and know that we love how BIG your heart is!!
Caleb waits for his brothers to come home from the moment they leave us each morning at 8:30. So, I have had to get creative with how we make each moment special together just the two of us! He is so content doing crafts, playing playdoh, reading stories, working on the ABC's....anything that he can show me how to do it!! His love language is WORDS OF AFFIRMATION!! Caleb, I find I am getting sad to think of you starting school in less then a year. I will cherish each day with you buddy until its time!
Oh Jakey, mommy is the best these days! We love playing with his trucks and driving them all over the house (the bathroom seems to be a favorite destination to park our trucks), marbles, stories that make music, dancing, going down the car ramp in the basement and playing catch! The booboo face is apparent each time I get ready to leave him in the Puggles room on Wednesday nights or Sunday morning for church... I love returning to his big bright smile and how his whole body gets excited to see I've come back!!!

How special are these mommy days...where home life and no worries in the world occur!!

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...
