the last drops of summer

 

Heading back to school today as Sten goes back to church as well. The last few weeks flew as fast as the first part of summer and I am in total denial that this is all over. We had the best summer and I wish we could do it all again. 
Lots of sleepy children these last couple weeks. Late night and days FULL. We feel so lucky that we got to pack so much in. 
Here's a recap of the last drops of summer.
Jessica and I took the girls camping. We had the greatest time hiking hanging by the campfire, finding coffee in marine on the St. Croix and sleeping in the camper.
These 2 found matching lounge shorts which were a COMPLETE necessity. 

Mom and dad came out for dinner one night, which was a real treat


It still feels like a dream that my sister and I both have 11 year-old girls. How lucky could I be???

I’m a full on sourdough fanatic again. Get ready for lots of sourdough bread pictures

While Sten was out fishing with his brother and friends. I hosted lots of friends! One morning we had brunch and played ticket to ride! It was a blast. Hanging out mid morning is probably my favorite.

Another night this crazy crew came over. We cooked yummy food and the kids played so many fun games together. Sardines, capture the flag and lots of laughs were had. The moms went for a neighborhood walk and lots of chats were had. 

We snuck out for one last Bay Lake trip with a quick pivot to staying at Ruttgers. It was a treat to swim in the pool and use all the amenities, but we all agreed that it was sad not to stay at the cabin. 







Me and Sigge camped on Kim’s land with all his buddies ♥️ it was adorable and such a summer bucket lister. 

The most dreamy place to set a tent. 

Campfire corn. 🌽 

Me and my guy. 

Telling spooooooky stories. 




The cutest crew 🥰 

Ran my 8 mile loop for maybe the first time this summer and remembered how much I love it. 

Heather's bridal shower with all my Cedarbrook pals. It was so easy to celebrate Heather. She’s the best

Origami with Sigge. I’m going to miss our crafting afternoons— and that little tongue out in concentration. 

sourdough discard pancakes. SO good and they are fluffy which I personally find appealing.
6 1/2 candles for our half birthday guy! How in the world are we halfway to 7?!?!
Going to the zoo was the last item on our list this summer and we made it happen! 


PEACE OUT SUMMER!

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...
