Gettin’back In👊🏻😬

This week we’ve been gettin’ back in to life at home. It’s been a nice week connecting with friends and remembering what our home routine typically looks like. I think we’d all say, it’s been nice to be back!😃Check out how we’ve been adjusting back in-
Basketball time! Jake and Caleb went to shoot hoops for the afternoon with some buddies at St Paul’s Lutheran church, their low hoops are super appealing to these younger guys! Great afternoon.
Wednesday Night Water Wars! Caleb was so pumped to go to youth group for the 1st time and invited some friends to join him! The boys enjoyed having Kyle lead the event too.😀 Lots of water&mud!!
Beautiful sunsets this week in Menomonie, one of my favorite views on our summer trip, so this was Gods blessing to me in coming home.🥰
The boys have enjoyed roller blading this week! Micah and Caleb took an afternoon to blade across town and get icees! I love when they do things like this together. A few falls and cuts along the way, but nothing major😉
Roller blading on the new patio and streets too!
High School orientation complete!! Hard to believe we are parents to a high schooler already🤪Drew is so excited though, and we pray that he has a wonderful experience despite COVID-19 restrictions this year, that he has the full experience of school and learning that he deserves. Love you my big Drew man.
Strength routine back in action I’m trying to get my strength back after being gone so much this summer. My workout times are going to have to get done earlier as school approaches! Yikes, hoping I can stick to it. Feels good to get back into the normal.
That’s a wrap for us this week. Lots going on at church this week for Kyle as he is adjusting to home and figuring out how to do church with the many opinions and restrictions we have going on right now, prayers appreciated for him as he navigates and leads the church keeping his eyes ultimately on Gods leading. I pray Gods protection around Kyle and to bring him Peace for the many decisions he has to make right now. 🙏❤️
Happy Friday!!

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...

trails+goals🍃

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...
