weekly round up


 I started my week with a family hang at big c, where an epic game of HORSE was played and I was the first one out :)
A walk at Willow River happened Monday morning. It was nice to be in nature, walking. I realized driving home that maybe that’s what I missed most while dealing with the foot pain last month. I couldn’t even go on walks. Walking is such a lovely way to take it in.  Haley and I finally made it to Willow on Thursday for our traditional "Thursday Trail Run"... boy did that feel good! Crazy how nature has a way of completely resetting your mood.
Sigge and I had a “drawing competition” where we couldn’t look at the hulk and had to draw it from memory. He totally won. I’m amazed by him every day. 

On Earth Day Sigge and I went on a trash walk and found a lot of trash! 2 bags and an old sign. We had so much fun and it felt good to do something nice to the earth. 
We met Harry, Crosby and Haley at the park and ran around in the woods. The time zoomed by. Spring with children is just the best. I think we went to a park each day this week.

Sten gigged at 45th Parallel and we had fun. Games, drawing, football, pizza and kiddie cocktails, the best things all around a little table. 
Olle man is such a gem right now. He is full of all things boy.
Sigge shows up authentically himself in every situation and although some of the time it makes me want to pull my hair out/cringe, I know this is for sure his super power.


Lucy is old! I can feel her being more of a 5th grader than a 4th grader these days. Such a special soul!
Always love Baptism Sunday at MC. I cheer the loudest and get emotional every single time someone comes up outta that water. 

Finished this book. It was a good one
Sigge and I went to DQ. We played would you rather, laughed and sat on the same side of the booth. 
Lucy and Sten at daddy daughter dance... I loved that she let me help her pick out an outfit and I love this tradition for them. One more year! How can it be?
Date Night for me and Sten at Olio. It was the highlight of my week.
The Colts won! Olle's team played well and it was fun to watch their improvement from last game!!

We had a good week. We played a lot, spent a lot of time outside and enjoyed each moment we got to spend together. When I look back on pictures from the week I feel so thankful for the people in my life. For the ways they show up for me, and for the ability to be able to show up for them. Trying my hardest to enjoy these last few weeks of school and routine before summer starts and things get a little more wild around here with 3 kids home all day :)

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...
