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
Congrats!
Ha! Congrats! You are so sneaky.
Congrats!!! Another adorable baby on the way!
So exciting!!! I'm totally trying to figure out the math on my fingers to tell how many weeks you are. You are so tiny, I was totally showing at 10 weeks with LE.
Congratulations! (I totally thought I was having reading comprehension problems with the "…and I carried the baby" sentence, but the realization came along quickly.) So exciting!
Congratulations, such great news! 🙂
Yay! Congrats you guys! How fun to be pregnant with your sister too!
Oh my goodness! What a great way to announce a pregnancy. I am very happy for you!!!
YAYYYY congratulations!! I was JUST wondering when I read your last post if you might have an announcement for us sometime soon. I'm so excited for you! And I can't WAIT to hear what you name this new family member!
I am so glad. You make beautiful babies and so it is your duty to bring another into the world! And cheers to you and Merrick- and all the family!

Congratulations!
This is the best announcement ever! Congratulations!!! On the bebe, obviously, but also on running a 5k. 🙂

Congratulations! Yay, baby! Yay, you!
Way to 5k it with a baby! I totally think Bart had the easy job here (…in so many ways…).
Should you, Sherry and I discuss timing for child #3 or assume it will happen in sync again?
I don't think we can have this perfect of timing for our respective #3s without discussing it first. Clearly a tri-family counsel is in order.
I re-read this sentence multiple times "Bart decided to run with me, and he pushed Ella in the jogging stroller while I carried the baby." and looked back at the picture to see if you were babysitting someone's baby. Then, being the quick one that I am, I realized what you were getting at. Congratulations! What happy news. I was hoping you would have an announcement like this soon. And it's so fun that you and Merrick keep having babies around the same time. Your kids will love that as they grow up!
Like Emily Kate, I had to reread that sentence about carrying the baby. I even looked at the picture again a few times. Ha! I am so quick on the uptake. 🙂
CONGRATULATIONS! I am so happy for you. You guys are such a sweet little family–I am so happy for you to welcome one more to your crew.
Excellent announcement!! Congratulations!
This is the BEST news! Congratulations, you guys!
YAYYYY! 🙂 Love this post so much. Also, congrats on your time! I'm very impressed you managed sub-10 minute miles while pregnant.
Also again – there's just something about toddlers in onesies that makes me giggle because it's so cute.
Hooray for more chubby-cheeked Bart and Janssen babies!
