Super Bumpa

Only Henry...

Imagine opening the bedroom door to your child sitting in the crib with a black eye. How could you hurt yourself while napping? Oh Henry, you are 100% boy!


"4 going on 14"




It was the strangest thing. Two Four year olds talking about clothes and trying on dresses!

Life Is Full Of Personal Pursuits

I love every minute of this! Over 16,000 runners enjoyed the 33rd Grandma's weekend. 6,670 entrants in the half marathon. Finishing 936 in 1:51:00


I am so thankful to have a husband who supports so many of my crazy pursuits! Waking at 3:00 a.m. to watch you wife run in 92 degree heat is devotion.




I love you Sarah, for always supporting and encouraging me! I would have never mentally made it through my foot injury with out you! You made Lake Superior feel warm Saturday, thank you!




"I love you mom and dad for ALWAYS eagerly helping out with the kids. Hank and I thank you!!!"

To My Dad...

The many gifts you have given to me I see you now giving to my children. You are always loving and silly. Watching you with Mea and Henry I am able to relive some of my best childhood memories. I love the father you are to me and the "Bumpa" you are to my children. I truly adore you dad! XOXOX

Love Your Body, It Is Incredible



In my 13 years of distance running the past 5 years have brought me such an appreciation for the human body. The fact my body produced 2 healthy children and recently recovered from a major foot injury is amazing to me. The 33rd running of Grandmas Marathon is this weekend and I am so blessed to participate. Love your body for each is incredible in it's own special way!
