Caleb~

I wanted to pause a moment in the everyday chaos to write this blog about Caleb James. He is our 3rd son, who brings a special sweetness to our family that all of us adore. His smile anytime of day brightens up our whole house. We love his new look with his new glasses this year and its even better when he looks at us with his glasses all foggy! Caleb always brings Happiness to our day because he makes life simple. Life in his world is full of giggles, snuggles, playing with brothers, being tickled by daddy, reading lots of books with mommy and soaking up whatever kindle time he can get his hands on. In this last month, Kyle and I wanted to capture a few moments to never forget with our bubba boy this fall. We couldn't be more proud of who God made him to be.
Caleb has been showing off his mad math skills with us. He has math fact worksheets that he brings home and likes when daddy sits right by him.  Love that little smile as he is proving to dad he is one smart dude!
Caleb and I spend time reading a few books everyday after school. He has his daily WEB reading and then we've been tackling the Junie B. Jones books together before he goes to bed. Incredibly proud of his reading!!! Its been really fun reading these books with him because they are really funny and we laugh together a lot. Caleb, you are so smart and so much fun!!
Our family loves Caleb up to pieces! So many times we all find ourselves giving or getting great big hugs from Caleb and hearing him tell us how much he loves us. Caleb you have a heart of Gold! We are so blessed by you everyday. Never stop living life loving others with all you got. It is the greatest gift you can give away! We love you Caleb!

Just after finishing this blog, Caleb decided that it was the perfect time for him to ask Jesus into his heart! We are all rejoicing with him this week!
Caleb, so excited to see how God is going to use you to Glorify Him!!!
Caleb James Gunderson's Christian birthday is December 7, 2015.
BEST Christmas gift this year!!!

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...
