Happy MAY DAY!

It doesn't feel like May, but that's okay, a couple more days cozy-ing up inside never hurt anyone. Hope the sun comes out at some point this month and gives us some warmth.

In my 28 post I said I wanted to sew. Well... I fired up my sewing machine last week (with the help of my mama) and completed some burp cloths. I am now ready for some bigger projects and am hoping to make a few summer dresses for Lucy and some matching pj pants with my girl Ash.

In other news: it's been raining pretty much non-stop for the last 4 days with really no end in sight. I watched the radar yesterday afternoon and when I thought I had a 30 minute window, Lucy and I got out for a run. It felt great and sometimes that fresh air is exactly what you need for a lift of spirits. 
Talk about lifting the spirits!... On Monday I met my sister and mom at Starbucks for a hangout. Lucy and I had the best morning- what's better than sbux coffee, and Print girls with babies?!?! Amos is such a sweet little guy. It's so fun watching him be a big brother/ cousin! He's started to *sort of* say my name (ca-ca)... I love it!!!!

I was packing up some of Lucy's clothes today and was so sad to put this little sweatshirt away. It was always one of my favorites. What happened to those skinny little legs?!? She has rolls and rolls now! This afternoon when I got her up from her nap she just smiled and did this little snort laugh for a minute. It was the best. I love every little thing about her and I love seeing her personality develop. 

Happy May to all!

XO

Dan and Pam +

 One of our favorite weeks of summer came and went: When Dan and Pam visit. This means lots of family time at Big C. Everything is a game and there are lots of laughs-- never ending fun. It always goes by so fast and it’s sad to see them go.  This year we did something super different and took a 24 hour trip to show off Duluth to Pam. J is the best trip planner and when she sent me the itinerary I knew it was going to be a good time.  Here we are in our little hostel room. I slept like a rock thanks to half a sleeping pill. Seriously. I slept over 9 hours and didn’t even wake up to go to the bathroom!  Found just a couple rocks to skip 😂  Here we are at split rock lighthouse. We were too cheap to go into the actual park and get the tour so we listened to a podcast on the way home instead haha  The fog hadn't burned off yet and it made for the most beautiful backdrop.  Perhaps the highlight for me: burrata and wine on the rocks of gooseberry falls. We ...

Wolfpack.

We had a good day with these lifetime friends of mine. PHS class of ‘04.  Linds is so good at getting everyone together. She planned this whole day and then everyone took the day off work/ got kids out of activities and sports and made the effort to see one another.  Friendship of 35 years is a true gift. I feel like these girls watched me grow up. From playing boxcar children in the basement to jr high shenanigans/ all the trips to Treasure Island to studying abroad together in Italy to visiting each others first homes/ attending weddings /welcoming in motherhood and most recently keeping up on Marco Polo I am thankful for these gals.     Recreating a picture from 7 yrs ago 😂  As we were saying our goodbyes we looked down and BURST into laughter. Must be a 40 yr old thing.  Memories upon memories with this crew.  xo. edc.

goodbye summer 2026

I headed back to BHP today after what may have been the best summer ever. If you would have asked me a week ago if I was ready to go back I would have said no, but I think God does a good job of preparing our hearts for big changes if we allow him to, and I truly felt prepared walking into school today.  My classroom has a ways to go to be ready to welcome in students to meet the teacher night on Wednesday-- but I know I'll get there.  Routine is good, and I packed my lunch last night, laid out my clothes and after work today headed to the grocery before grilling up some chicken for dinner. I needed something to remind me that I love feeding my family well, being somewhat organized and nights at home after a day away. Here are some summer lasts: Mornings on the front porch with coffee + 1 kid + a game?!?!? THE BEST Also a LOT of Rummikub lately a Friday morning of cinnamon chip scones might be the best way to start the day family bike ride on the Brown's Creek Trail 12 miles w...
