Milestones




Well since a couple of individuals in the Schwisow household have either already turned 30 this year or will soon do so, we've decided to mark these milestones in life by doing something for ourselves to say, "we've still got it." I have decided to run a 1/2 marathon in August and Will will run the Portland Marathon the day before his 30th birthday in October. We're very excited to accomplish these goals, goals we've both talked about and someday hoped we would do. We're very thankful for the health and ability and finally a slower schedule to seek these goals. Also exciting is that my sister, Leah, and her family will be flying up in August to run the 1/2 marathon with us, yes Will will also run the 1/2 marathon as well.

The first month we were in the house, we either had company or traveled for almost the entire month, so we're really enjoying being home in our new home; and, we aren't even close to having it the way we want it. It's so nice to have a home again. We've really enjoyed being able to have family and friends over. Will is loving his garage and yes, working on his jeep again. Addison loves to hang with Daddy in the garage and even said, "Addy jeep!" I caught the first glimpse of selfless love/shocked reality in Will's eyes as you could see he would give her his jeep, but it's his jeep.

Speaking of Addison, she is totally rockin'. Will and I always say what a cool kid she is, but she really is. She had a doctor's appointment last week and all of her measurements stayed in the same percentile except for height; she jumped up to the 85th percentile in height. She's putting so many words together that make up thoughts and you can see her process what you say. She's so fun to watch.

Anyway, we hope all are well! Love and hugs to all!
