Covid Life.

 We are over the hump (I think?!) and have found a little more of a groove at home. 

These pics are out of order, but I love each one and the memories make me smile as these are my favorite people. 

Of course we got some snow right as quarantine started! It was perfect for snowball fights and snowmen. 
I’ve been able to read this book with my extra time. I love it and am excited to finish it. 
Meltinggggggggg so. many. puddles. Lots of walks with boots on. 
Made these banana muffins that turned out really well. 
Steel cut oats, hemp seeds, unsweetened coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds and banana is my favorite breakfast right now
Grateful for warm weather so we can play outside. 
Extra time with this special one. 
Trying new hair do’s. 
She is just the greatest. 
I have been loving the meme’s. This one is very true of Olle. 
More outside adventures. 
I’ve kept my run streak alive! 54 days and counting! 
Thankful for friends and family who have dropped off activities and food!
Shorts and tee’s bc we live in Wisconsin and when it’s 45* that’s what you do. 
I was out on a run and came home and to this note from Lucy: update— we played 2 games of Monkey May I. 1 game of counting Fish, and one game of Dos. I texted this pic to my sister and she said: “that’s a lot of togetherness” 😂 
This little Sigge is starting to say so many tiny words and it’s just the cutest thing. 
I’m realizing I have a million of these pics. 
Our snowman. He only lasted 1 day. But sure was fun to make a snowman in the middle of the day with Lucy!
Puddle splashing. 
Our first CA wine shipment came in! Just in time for Sten to lose his taste and smell... we’ll let it age for a couple weeks. 😆 
Never a dull moment with these 3. 

I have not a single picture of Sten. I’ll have to change that. 

I was talking to my sister the other day and she said: well at least you’re quarantined in a big house with a yard. It was the exact “gratitude adjustment” I needed. I feel incredibly lucky that I enjoy my family and GET to spend time with them. What a gift. There have been some long days, we have watched A LOT of movies, but at the end of the day I feel so much love for these 4 people. 

1 week left! xo. edc.

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...
