Gunderson Adventures....

Kyle and I were able to sneak away for two nights from the boys and had a great time! We stayed in Lutsen and hiked around beautiful Lake Superior. Temperance Falls was my absolute favorite as the falls were gorgeous! Kyle and I had a blast talking and laughing about our almost 6 years (Jan. 5th, 2008) together and were amazed at how much has happened since our life journey began. We prayed over our boys and enjoyed many conversations during calm and peaceful meals together. When our time away came to an end I thought, "Wow, I have the best husband in the world!" We always enjoy getting away to spend time together uninterupted, but couldn't be more excited to get back to our boys! Thank you Nana and GG for watching our boys as we got away on a well needed break!

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit us last weekend! We had a great time relaxing and playing with all my toys! Uncle Jesse and his friend Sarah Joy came also and took me to the park. I love when family comes to visit so I can show them all my toys, fishies and new words I am saying these days. Micah had fun snuggling with Grandpa and I loved reading stories with Grandma. This Thanksgiving I am thankful for my Grandpa, Grandma, Nana and GG! They are my very favorite friends. Hope you find something to be thankful for too this Thanksgiving! Love -Andrew

We can hardly believe our littest boy is already 8 months old! Micah is really busy moving around crawling and standing up holding on to furniture, toys and windows! He is pushing big toys around the floor standing up and walking! He is also learning how to climb upstairs. This kid is crazy busy! We are sure he will be walking by Christmas!

Here is what our ZOO is like!

We had a little lion and monkey with us tonight as we enjoyed the evening watching our boys light up peoples faces with their costumes. We did a little trick-or-treating, but we spent most of our night at church at our "Fall Festival" Carnival. Andrew had a blast playing games and getting treats! He was a little sugar high when we got back home. Micah was busy crawling around and impressing everyone with his amazing crawling and standing up abilities. We can't believe how fast our littlest guy is growing up! Andrew had fun coloring a pumpkin with us this year. Take a peak at the Gundersons amazing Pumpkins!

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...

What a big boy! Alex and Asher are Andrew closest friends. Alex loves helping Andrew feel special and always includes him in on activities. Asher loves wrestling with Andrew and playing with balls. We had a great time celebrating Andrew's 2nd birthday! He had 2 great parties celebrating with Family and Friends. Although Andrew is still so young to grasp the total birthday effect, he definately felt loved and special. He are so blessed by Andrews energy and joy he brings to all of us each and everyday. We celebrated with family on October 7th at Nana and GGs house since we were in the cities. Grandpa made an amazing "Fishy" cake and put lots of love into it for Drew. This year Andrew had a "Fish" theme. Andrew took a little more interest in cake this year as he poked his fingers in the frosting to sneak a taste of his delicious cake. It was so fun celebrating with Great Grandmas and Grandpas, aunts and uncles, Great Aunts and Uncles, Grandparents, and us. Some ...
