Singing our way to Christmas!!


We are welcoming Christmas into our family with lots of great Christmas music!! To start, Andrew and Micah had a great performance at school with all their friends and favorite teacher Mr. Lutz the music teacher! The boys just loved singing this year and it was so much fun to watch them sing "The big chill!!" the boys absolute favorite this year!!
Sounded great boys!!

  
So cute to see all the kids getting excited for Christmas!!


The boys had a chance to take part in some leading roles this Christmas and Andrew did just awesome on his solo!!! We were all so proud of him!!

Micah had a few funny speaking parts that made everyone laugh!! He did fabulous!!

The extra special part about our time together was Nana and GG were able to join us for a few days!! We had so much fun seeing them and felt extra special they took time to come hear the boys sing their way to Christmas! We also had a fun night of pizza and going to the downtown parade together with Nana and GG.  We loved seeing all the lights, animals, floats and receiving lots of candy! Next year we need to bring bags to put all our candy in because we were not prepared for that! After we walked across the street, drank hot cocoa and watched the fire works over the lake. It was a wonderful Christmas night together!!
                                         
Mr. Caleb took his turn to shine and sang the following night.  We loved hearing him sing:
 "This little light of mine" "Peppermint Stick" "Its Christmas Time"
Caleb LOVES his 4k class and thinks Mrs. Braatz is the best teacher ever!
We were so proud of all our performers and were so glad Nana and GG could be apart of some fun memories with our boys!! Merry Christmas!

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...
