Life Lately.


This is the most random photo dump EVER… but here’s what life has looked like lately. 
If there was ever an accurate description for “church rat” this would be the picture that accompanied the meaning. These kids come early and stay until the doors are locked. They are crazy and run around and cause so much trouble… but are also just the absolute best and make Sundays the ultimate family/friends day!
Last week J and I took the girls to see Anne Frank at Hudson High School. It was SO good! We were extremely impressed. Lucy wants to be in theater so badly, so this only solidified her excitement about being in a play someday :)
Impromptu dinner with friends during a rare 40* evening!


These are the nights I just love 
Pals. 
I was SO exhausted from hosting the IF:Gathering at church this weekend. I couldn’t even think about parenting. So a movie and popcorn it was! Because:
Sten and Olle got to go the Wild game with Hudson and PJ! They had so much fun and even got to go in the locker room!
Once in a lifetime experience 🏒


A rare moment of these 3 playing together. I had to snap a picture bc it literally never happens even though they see each other at least 3-4 x a week.
 

Since Sigge has moved into the big kid bed I’ve struggled to get any napping pics. But I caught him today and I can’t handle how peaceful he looks when he’s sleeping. 

I’ve been so busy planning IF that I’ve neglected A LOT the last couple weeks. I’ve decided I’m a low capacity person. I like to have VERY minimal on my plate and that’s about all I can handle. I like to think that’s why I can be a rock in many areas of life… bc I intentionally don’t put a lot on my plate :) haha
This week my word will be ATTACK! I need to attack housework, attack healthy meals for my family, attack getting in my quiet time and focus on ME.

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...
