Rotterdam Marathon

Hey everybody! Hope you are all doing well. We had a busy and exhausting weekend. Joe ran the Rotterdam marathon on Sunday! Yep, that's 26.2 miles. He did a great job too! Just finishing it is amazing enough, but he ran it in 3hrs 38min. And, he hadn't been training since February! God gave him an amazing gift and it is so fun to watch him use it.

We made quite the pair after the race was over. Joe was barely able to walk on his own and I, being almost 9 months pregnant and on my feet all day, wasn't much help. We were both hobbling and wobbling around Rotterdam. It had to have been a humorous sight.

Other than that, we have just been preparing for our little guy to arrive. Only about 4 more weeks! We will be sure to keep you posted!

I know...Finally a new blog!

Hey everyone! Thanks for being patient while it took me 2 months to update our blog. We are doing really great over here and are getting very excited for our little one to arrive...only about 6 more weeks! The time has flown by, but we are ready and excited to meet him. The last Dr.'s appointment showed that he and I are both healthy. I've said before that he already seems very active and he's always "acting up" for the doctors and nurses. This time he had what I think were hiccups the whole time the nurse was trying to hear his heartbeat. She couldn't get a good recording because of them. :)

Anyways, other than preparing for the baby to arrive, we have done a little more traveling. My mom was here in early March and we were able to visit a few different sites throughout The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Luxembourg. The photo album of our trip is posted to the right of the blog if you want to check it out. The picture above is from Joe's trip to the Alps. He had to attend a confrence at the Army's Eidelweiss Lodge in Germany, a very beautiful place to visit. Unfortunately, he had to spend all of his time indoors, but it is definately a place that we will be revisiting!

Well, that is mostly it. We hope that you are all doing well and I will try to be more diligent in my updates. :)
