1.10-11.16

Home now, and I realized I didn't add the last day and half of our trip. As I think back on it, I just want so badly to be back on the island soaking up the sun and being with my family. But all good things come to an end, and so now I'm sitting at home all bundled up dreaming about the island :)
We went back to the beach on our final day and had a blast playing in the waves and making roads in the sand. 
The beach knocked this little guy out and he couldn't have looked cuter!!
Cheeks!
Sissy and I stayed downtown to do some shopping. It's always a treat hanging with this girl. 
The weather SERIOUSLY shifted and the wind was nuts! The pool was soooooo much warmer than the outside air temperature so the two little fisher girls went skinny dipping. Looking back now, they were the last ones to swim in that pool! Smart girls. 
Selfie with gpa!
That night we had dinner at bar Lito and the food was the best we had all week. Amazing!
Kids stayed occupied with Paw Patrol after we ate :)
The day we left was raining and cold and the kids were crazy as we packed everything up. It was so hard to say goodbye to the island!!
My people. 
And this is what our long day of airport, ferry, taxi, shuttle, customs looked like at its best..... Ha!
"Bye Mexico!"

That week flew by. Until next time isla. I love you!
Xo, erica

back 2 school. back at it. back to reality 2026

We eeeked out every last drop until it was time to head back to school on Wednesday. Annual tradition trip to Lucette after Meet the Teacher is the photo above. Happy to report that everyone did great the first 3 days of school- although I don't know if we're quite ready for a full 5 day week starting tomorrow :) Sten took the boys to Michigan to go to his cousins daughters wedding and they did something that Sten introduced me to when we were dating and on staff together at PLCBC- diving for golf balls! The boys thought it was a blast and I love that they got a bright blue -sunny -skies day to make the water look turquoise and the ball finding easy. While the boys were gone Lucy and I whooped it up! We went to the first Hudson football game... Went to the Glenwood City Rodeo.... AND drove to Iowa to see Josiah Queen at the Iowa State Fair!  Fun is an understatement to describe this little getaway and I feel so lucky we got to do this together. Then it was BACK TO REALITY! holy...

bookends/ teacher things/fall poem

The bookends of my day yesterday was God's way of showing me that I am going to be ok. This picture from my solo run in the morning was absolutely perfect. Cold hands, fast road miles, worship music and a text from a friend right in the middle of it saying that I was top of her prayer list that morning. Then in the evening the boys were outside playing waffle ball and Lucy was walking around the neighborhood with friends and I cranked up my music and cleaned the entire middle/lower level. I stopped at one point and thought-- this is the biggest gift right now.  Other things: I love pens. and there is something so satisfying about having every single color of felt tip/ gel tip at your disposal. lol. Life touch teacher photos--why is my ear showing so much? Is this what I always look like? Haley hosted the Badland Babes for some brunch after our Willow run on Saturday and she made THE most delicious food, didn't know I needed a bonfire until I was sitting in this chair eating thi...

Merry Christmas 2022

I am in complete denial that an entire year has passed! Where did 2022 go?! We celebrated some big milestones, had a lot of fun, and enjoyed our family most. Here are some highlights and lessons learned from 2022.  So. Much. Swimming! Lesson learned: ALWAYS get in the water. You’ll never regret it. Your kids will love you for it and you’ll make way more memories from inside the water than up on the boat. This day was particularly special as we were all together with Uncle Dan and Aunt Pam. We swam, we ate, we boated and we didn’t want the day to end. Having mom and dad move permanently to the Lake has been the BEST.  Midcurrent MOVED! We raised the money, hired the people, decorated and paved the way for more people to get to know Jesus. Before the carpet was laid we wrote prayers on the floor and I am so excited to see what 2023 will bring for Midcurrent. Lesson learned: do the big thing! Give people a chance to show up and see what God can do! Family camp is ALWAYS a highlig...
