Crazy Week!

It seems as though the Crazy in our family often occurs all at once. Take a peak at our Crazy Week!
Our Jakers fell out of the top bunk of his bed and had to go to urgent to have X-rays taken and his arm looked at. We were really worried when his right arm was limp and not able to give Kyle or I a high five. Kyle took him in to return home w no real answer. The next morning the doctor gave us a call to tell us that Jake had a fracture in his elbow and needed to come in and get it casted. Above is Jake wearing his first of two casts, the second cast was blue! So proud of our brave boy.
Next up is our Caleb man. Kyle and I noticed Caleb's eyes were looking cross eyed and we started to get concerned.  After going to the eye doctor, they told us Caleb for sure needed glasses. So, Caleb picked out this fancy pair!! We think he looks super super cute!

No pic for our Micah boy but he had his nose checked again to see if any polyps had started to develop again and found out he is all clear! Grateful to get that news after being a bit worried another one was growing.

All in all, our Crazy Week ended in thankfulness that all our boys are doing well. Even in the chaos of life we are always able to feel the Lords hand upon us and His love abounding over our family.
Living life one day at a time in thankfulness.

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...
