2023 RECAP
FEBRUARY✨33✨
On February 26 Kim (and EVJ) ran their 3rd (and final) marathon, at 33 weeks (third trimester) in Kim’s 33rd year of life.
This was an all-out team effort that would not have been possible without the encouragement, support, and snacks provided by crew chief Steve.
JULY (S)Miles
Kim left her job in higher education in July to pursue co-owning and coaching HAM Running. Nicole (her sister) and Kim help athletes across the country reach their running goals— from finishing a first-ever 5k to qualifying to toe the line at the Boston Marathon. We work with athletes to create a customized training plan tailored to their lifestyles.

OCTOBER HEY BEAR!
Halloween is our jam, and we love making costumes! This year, we let Evie pick the theme—Hey Bear! “Fruit" Sensory” was a clear winner—her favorite (and only) YouTube channel. Nothing says Happy Halloween like dancing fruit!
DECEMBER
Baby’s First Christmas
There’s no place like home for the holidays. We went back to our roots to celebrate (an early) Christmas in Cincinnati and Indiana with our families.
APRIL Babymoon
Forever procrastinating—We missed the FAA cut-off to fly and took a last-minute babymoon two weeks before baby was due to Hilton Head, SC. 😬 We spent 3 days riding our bikes on the beach and around the island, watching dolphins and Food Network, trying to relax, and devouring local cuisine.
JULY RING BEARER
In July, Evie took her first-ever flight (nothing like a 5-hour trek to “test it out.” Note: She did great!) to Seattle, WA, to be a ring bearer in Steve’s sister, Sarah’s wedding.
MAY STANDY BABY
We sent our families daily “Evie Grams.” At 7 weeks, Evie would get SO frustrated and the only way to calm her was to let her stand on her chair.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Wishing you and yours all the joys of the season from our family to yours!
XO Kim, Steve & EVJ
APRIL Welcome EVJ!
Late in the evening on April 7 Kim went into labor, allowing just enough time for Steve to pack his bag and let the family know that baby girl was about to be born! A few short hours later, on April 8 (one day before Steve’s birthday) Evelyn James made her way into the world at 3:36 AM.
SEPTEMBER Beach Bound
The Kreuzmans celebrated Christmas early this year—in September—with a family trip to Navarre Beach. EVJ got to watch the Blue Angels and took many naps in the ocean.
OCTOBER BIG PUPPY GIRL
There is nothing that can make this girl smile like her puppies (who fortunately are patient with her as she tugs and pulls.
SEPTEMBER GREAT OUTDOORS
We’ve biked, hiked, and wondered where the wifi is weak.
