Prayers for Tripp

Tripp is sick and needs you to say prayers for him. He was born sick and he keeps getting more sick. I can't believe people can be born sick! He really hurts a lot. My mom reads his mom's page everyday. I want him to feel better so he can play with all his toys. Please say lots of prayers for him. I colored a sign for his mom to see. It might make her happy. Maybe she can tell Tripp we love him.
"Dear Tripp, It would be nice if you could get better. I will say a prayer for you tonight. Please feel better soon. Love, Jonas"





(For those who do not know Tripp is a truly amazing 2 year old who was born with a horrible disease called Epidermolysis Bullosa or EB. He isn't doing the best at the moment and He and his Family could really use all the prayers they could get.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JONAS!!

Yes, today is Jonas' 6th birthday! It's kind of weird since we have celebrated his birthday twice already!
Doesn't he looked thrilled to be going to school on his birthday?


I have had a few emails asking if Jonas is going to keep running now that his summer break is over. The answer is of course!! His daddy and I have decided to let him adjust to his new schedule, so he should start up again next this weekend, that is if the heat can give us a break. We have had Heat Indexes in the 100's the past 3 days and toady looks no better. He has a race coming up in August that he has to get ready for, hopefully we can start up again shortly!

And now a few words from Jonas!

I started School this week. I like the first grade and my teachers are very nice. Today my mom made cupcakes for my class. We got to eat them at snack time. I am now 6 years old. Next year I will be 7. I lost a tooth the day before I started school. I got 2 dollars from the tooth fairy. I put it in my bank.

Day 39, July 17 2011

It is not hot and I am not sick so that means I get to run again. I start school tomorrow. I will have to start running after school now or I have to get up really really early. I am going to ask my P.E. teacher if we can run in class too. I need to run fast for my first race. I have to eat healthy too. If you eat healthy you can run better and faster. Eating healthy is good for you. You should eat healthy if you want to feel good. When I am done running I am always more hungry so I eat a snack.

Speed Work

Daddy ran first today. He ran for a long time. Me and my mom and sister came to get him, we were going to stop at the park and run, but my sister got sick so we went home. We brought my dad a sandwich. My dad and me did speed work. We ran up and down the hill a lot of time and then ran fast laps around our house. My legs are not tired. My mom and dad said I have a new cousin in VA. I have not met her yet.

Back in the Swing of Things!

July 8/9, 2011

I finally got to run again. We have had a lot of storms. My legs did not hurt when I started running again. I like to run. It makes me feel strong and healthy. My mom said I may get to run a race soon. I think it is a race to help save dogs. My dog colt might run it with me.

No running this weekend :(

I did not get to run this weekend. My dad had a blister on his foot. I got to swim a lot at my Uncle Mark's house.

I did not run this weekend but my dad did. He ran a race. I think my mom said it was around a battlefield. I think that means that there was a war there. I thought we were in New York. My mom and dad said that we were just in Yorktown.

There we lots and lots of spiders.

I didn't know my mom took this picture

I got to have my birthday early. I got a pokemon battle game. There were storms so we did not get to see fireworks. We did our sparklers outside though and watched fireworks on TV.

I will get to run with my dad tonight.

Picture Post!
