Tuesday Tangents

**Erin took Sigge this morning and I got in a run. Sunny and cool. It felt good. 

**Now I’m subbing at the preschool and it’s nap time in which 4/13 are napping. I wish I could crawl up on a cot and listen to lullabies and take a rest. Kids are so lucky. 

**We hit a heat wave last week and now we’re back to cool temps. Olle and I are most upset about it. Our bodies can’t keep adjusting to the warm and cold…. But I guess this is spring in the Midwest. 

**I’m feeling excited for summer. Lots of running, bay lake, pool days and lake time at my parents. It can’t come soon enough! 

**Feeling ready for a good week. I made up some juices, prepped healthy meals and have been logging lots of hours of sleep. Sometimes you just need to get back to the basics. Sten and I often joke about how much we talk about our sleep. The other day he said: it’s a good distraction from our other favorite 65 yr old topic: gas prices. 😂 Sten is witty. I like that about him. 

*** crazy flooding downtown Hudson. The entire parking in front of church is out right now
***Haley, Kim and I ran Saturday and ALMOST beat the rain, it was crazy to be in tanks and shorts at 5am and then by 5pm sweatshirts, pants and slippers. 
*** sten is coaching olles flag football team and it’s great! Coach led the team to a 38-0 victory Saturday! Olle got a pick 6 which he was pretty excited about 🥰



*** last week when it was summer we went down to the pier to feed the ducks but they were happily swimming in the middle of the river, so we just watched them and having some solid time with Sigge made my day. 

*** happily got super sweaty at yoga yesterday and I can feel those tiny muscles that only yoga can find. It’s such a treat to be in a 100+ degree studio loving life. 

Grateful for all the people I get to come in contact with on a daily basis  my life is full and I am loving it.

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...
