Quarantine January

 Yep. Totally started the year off with a BANG!!💥 COVID style. Looking back on it now, it all worked out but man it was a bummer 4 Us. 

How did you all get Quarantined, you ask?? Let me tell ya!

Drew- he was in close contact during basketball practice w a player who tested positive, sadly the team had to all quarantine and hold off on playing for two weeks, plus no going to school.

Micah went sledding with some friends, who tested positive for COVID and had to also quarantine for two weeks.

Caleb sneezed in class 🤧 and was immediately sent home bc of one symptom but also bc the other two brothers were home, they sent him home. Thankfully after getting Caleb tested, and having negative results, he can go back to school tomorrow.

Jake was sent home bc Caleb sneezed 🤧 and could have COVID. Total craziness!! Since Caleb tested negative, he is set to go back to school tomorrow as well.

Kyle and I are living in the same house as these four, so we tried our best to stay sane and enjoy this time with them. 🤪

The beginning of 2021 has looked a little bit like this for us...

Ice skating! We have really enjoyed our new outdoor rink and it was so much fun watching Kyle and Drew play some hockey together.

Family walks have been really fun and at times hard when the boys argue about something really stupid, for the most part fun though! 😉 

Braces! Micah got his braces put on before he was put on quarantine, and he is doing really well with them! I think he looks really great too.
Running+ Snow angels on lake Menomin my little escape from home and fun adventure! I’ll definitely be back!

More ice skating +bonfire on Friday morning when we had the place to ourselves. So nice to skate together!


Sledding in Eau Claire was fun too, and nice to leave town for an afternoon.

We have made the best of our quarantine days, but really hoping to return to our mostly normal routine soon. Not the way we wanted to start off the new year BUT it turned out to be okay, and gave us some more time to laugh, play cards, do a few more puzzles, argue some, sleep more, and watch some more funny YouTube videos!!❄️We are healthy and that’s what I’m most thankful for.❤️

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...
