Going the Distance
Over the Memorial Day holiday, our church had a free 5K and 10K on Saturday morning.
After a lot of wishy-washy talk on my part, I finally decided to run the 5K.
Despite it being the morning after school let out, there was a pretty good crowd.
Bart decided to run with me, and he pushed Ella in the jogging stroller while I carried the baby.
The four of us finished with a time of 28:50.
Yes, four!
December 2nd, 2012!
We are pretty excited:
Even if Ella thinks a doughnut for breakfast is way more exciting than a new sibling







Congratulations! Yay for babies!
Congratulations!
Oh my goodness! I am so happy for y'all! I was reading along, thinking, "Hmm… While I carried the baby. WHAT? The baby?!" 🙂 That's so exciting!
Congrats! 🙂
Hahaha, what a great post! Congratulations!! What exciting news AND a great 5K!
Congratulations!! I totally fell for it and was squinting at your picture, trying to determine if you were carrying some sort of baby doll. Exciting news!
Congratulations!!
Congratulations on the run and your exciting news!
Haha! Congratulations!!! What fun news. 🙂
Congratulations! How exciting!
Congratulations! I was really confused with this sentence, "he pushed Ella in the jogging stroller while I carried the baby." Clever post.
Wow, congratulations! That is SUPER exciting! Hope you're not toooooo sick.
Congrats, Janssen! Such good news to hear today.
What a fun way to announce it! The first reference made me do a double-take, but I put 2 and 2 together pretty quick! 🙂 Congratulation to the three (four) of you! (Also, you run a 5K with a baby faster than me without a baby. You rock!)
Aack! *Quickly* I meant quickly!
Woo hoo! Congratulations so much! I had this FEELING that this announcement was coming and I was right! I am very excited for you guys.
Congrats!
Congratulations! I really had to keep re-reading, trying to figure out why you would say that you were carrying the baby and there were four of you. Thank goodness you explained it to this absent-minded pregnant lady!
Also, I'm a little jealous that you get to be pregnant with your sister and have babies so close!
Well, aren't you a sneaky one? 🙂
Congrats!!
What wonderful news! Congratulations to all! (ps, just met your sister in the airport on Tuesday 🙂
Congratulations!!! And how exciting to be pregnant with Merrick. It is so much fun being pregnant with your sister and having little cousin babies the same age.
