We did it!

Last Christmas, unbeknownst to her, I set a goal to run a half marathon with my wife. After months of training and pushing the kids in a double jogging stroller WE DID IT!!!

Yesterday we ran the Chicago Rock and Roll Half Marathon!

I am so proud of Kristin for running!

We got 15,005th and 15,006th place.

It was hard, but worth it.

If you missed the opportunity to sponsor us while we ran, it's not too late! >>>

Uncle Jim's Trains

As many of you know Joshua loves trains right now... but his love for trains is dwarfed by Kristin's Uncle Jim.

We spent a couple of days in Austin, TX visiting Kristin's Cousin (Melanie) and her kids (Jim's Grandkids).

He brought a portion of his train collection and set it up outside for the kids to play with. JT loved it.

I grew up hearing about the Bulligators in Hondo creek. Bulligators are an animal half bull, half aligator (but really its all bull) that in habits the creek.

You know when there is a Bulligator in the water because you see air bubbling up to the surface. Mysteriously my dad began telling us about Bulligators in the lake in Nebraska after a trip to Texas when I was nine or so.

Well at the recent family reunion we swam in the Hondo Creek... and luckily we saw no Bulligators.

Cinco Generaciones

Recent we got together to celebrate my great-grandmother's 100th birthday. We met family in Hondo, TX where she lives and where my dad grew up.

This is a photo of those five generations:

Great-Grandma (Elsa) Schweers

Grandma (Dorothy) Schulte

Dad (Gary) Schulte

Joshua and Susannah Schulte.

After leaving the reunion I had this reality check where I realized that in order for me to have 5 generations under me that 70 years from now... my grand children's grand children would be there... bizarre.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Great Grandma!
