Always a fun place to be, but last night was extra special. The boys got to “meet a real famous person,” and Tucker says he was very inspirational. Pro rock climber Craig DeMartino - look him up! Also, I watched class for the first time in awhile and can’t believe how much the boys are improving! #familyofboys #rockclimbing #rockclimbinggym #adaptiveclimbing #badasskids #trtthundersquad

Finally an outside day 🙌🏻 #familyadventures #gotowv #mywv #almostheaven #optoutside #trtthundersquad #runwalkhealth #tworiverstreads

Hi! I just found out last week that I was chosen for a second time to be part of the Two Rivers Treads Thunder Squad. In other words, I’m part of a team chosen by this local shop and community running hub to help spread their love of health and fitness. I’m beyond honored and feel totally unworthy to be among these rad runners — many of them run ultramarathons or run at a pace that I can only dream of! To reintroduce myself, when I first joined the squad I was a mom of three, and I’d been calling myself a runner for a few years and had a lot of races under my belt at the middle of rear of the pack. In 2018 I planned to do more of the same, and in the spring completed the Harpers Ferry Half with my husband, by far my most challenging event yet! A few days later, I suffered a miscarriage. This experience proved pretty tough for me, physically and emotionally. The months that followed involved a lot of soul searching and a lot of chugging along, and in the end we knew our hearts were still open to another baby. In October, I learned I was pregnant again (with what would turn out to be our fourth boy!) and so far everything has been going well. Staying active through those first few months and through this awful, wet winter has been tough, but I haven’t thrown in the towel. I’m now in my 25th week and crossing my fingers that spring will come soon so I can spend more time outside ASAP! I’m so grateful for my continued health, this chance to add to our family and for the opportunity to share my experiences along the way. It’s going to be an interesting year! #tworiverstreads #trtthundersquad #runwalkhealth #25weekspregnant

I haven’t posted anything in forever ... haven’t had much to report during our SIX-day weekend! On the snow day, Tucker and Patrick sledded while Owen took a nap. We also finished the last Harry Potter book ... I read all seven out loud over the past two or so years. It was our first time reading, and none of us knew any spoilers ... so it’s emotional to be done. This weekend we will probably watch the last two movies. Suggestions for the next big read aloud are welcome. ❄️

Patrick has had a couple false starts at karate, but this time he’s been sticking with it, so last night he got his white belt! He was SO excited.

Beer for a friend, root beer for me. Sunshine all around. Post-hike brewery - genius.
