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.

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...
