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







YAY! YAY! How fun to have second baby close to Merrick as well! Love close cousins!
I totally knew you were preggers. 🙂
Congratulations to you and your beautiful family! You are going to love being a mom of two.
Lucky lucky baby.
I'm BUBBLING over with excitment!! Just BUBBLING! Congratulations! And that picture of you with your arms spread wide open…LOVE IT!
I tried to comment from my phone earlier, but I don't see it here, so I guess it didn't go through- Congratulations!! That is such great news!
Congratulations!! I'm sure you'll keep us updated. And don't worry, I think more immediate excitement about a doughnut is par for the course. 🙂
Ahhh! I went back to reread the line about carrying the baby to see if you were jogging while holding a friend's child in the baby bjorn. But alas, on completing the reading, my happy hopes were confirmed! Huge congrats to you!
Wonderful!
I also had to do the "reread" a few times before I caught on. Then I was instantly excited for you. And then I was instantly full of impressivement (it's a word)that your pregnant 5k is my non pregnant 5k best.
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
I'm a lurker and rarely comment – but congratulations! Love how you announced.
well played 🙂
I've been lurking for a little while now, but I needed to say, "Congratulations!"
Congrats, Janssen! Although I am a bit concerned – if Baby #2 is half as cute as Ella, I might fall down dead with the compounding adorableness.
Congrats!!! It's so obvious you guys are going to make all beautiful children. Loved the cute way you announced the exciting news.
Oh my! I almost didn't read this post! Wow! Congratulations.
congratulations!
Oh how exciting!! Congratulations to you all! And Ella will be a FANTASTIC big sister 🙂
