January

 Clara had really gotten into learning about Japanese culture and the language over the summer and found a book that went through the alphabet. She recently wrote me a bilingual note. :-)

I had booked a spa appointment with these two (Clara and Abigail, Hubert's sister). It was lovely.

I realized Dana and I happened to be twinning this day.

Clara checked out a taekwondo class recently and picked up on things really quickly in just that one class. She seemed super excited at the end, but has since ultimately decided not to sign up. It was really nice of the academy to let us try a class out.

Brynn curled Clara's hair for her one evening this week.


The next day Clara tagged along with Dad to his haircut and ended up getting a trim herself while she was there. She was so glad to have a freshened up 'do. 

Clara had a sleepover at Adria's house on Friday night.


Dana and I took the opportunity for a date night. We had set out to go to bingo, but when we walked in (we were at Big Top Bingo), it was quite the snooze fest and Dana decided he didn't want to stay. So, we headed over to the new Junkyard Brewing location in West Fargo. 


Then we ended our night out at The Flying Pig/Silver Dollar just down the road. Dana brought the car over and I walked and stopped at the snow sculptures along the way, just across the street. They were pretty impressive.


Saturday night was Clara's turn for a date night with me. We headed downtown to Blackbird for dinner, of course.



And Zandbroz for a little shopping.

The Fargo Theater was showing the original animated 'Cinderella' as part of their classic film series. It was so fun.




Since they were only showing it for one night, they had already switched the marquee (which was actually on the other side) before we came out. We should have snapped a pic before the movie. Oh well!

Hubert and Brynn ended up being able to take in a Force game Saturday night courtesy of our friends, Alex and Kaily, who are season ticket holders and weren't going to be using their tickets tonight.

I guess the Force didn't win, but they were excited they got on the Jumbotron (Alex and Kaily were at this game, but in different seats with a group they went with, so they kindly sent us the Jumbotron pics.) And Hubert was able to retrieve a puck, which he was also excited about.



Dad and Clara had a little Scheels shopping date today after church.



Brynn, Clara, Hubert, Hubert's brother Daniel and I went to Dike West for some sledding today. There wasn't much snow, but we made it work.

More Graduations + Start of Summer

A couple of weekends ago Clara had a very busy, but fun Saturday with her friend Cora and her sister, Violet. The sisters' dad took them to the Breakfast on the Farm near Hawley (We had gone many years ago. Clara was so little, she didn't remember it.)   They also stopped at the dirt track races on their way back into town and then Dana met up with them at MSUM so they could go to the oceanarium there. We had never been before, but it was on our "Moorhead List" of fun things to do in the 56560 zip code. So, check! Out on side-by-side rides any chance we get. We parked on Sunset Road, as we've dubbed it, to watch the sun go down. There is usually one or two other cars parked on this low maintenance road whenever we venture down there. Clara into her granny hobbies. :-) We attended the last of this year's graduation parties over the weekend. I went to one in town on Friday night and then Clara and I stopped at Karlie's party near Fergus Falls on our way to Z...

Easter + April Birthdays

 The girls had Thursday, Friday and Monday off from school for the Easter break. So, Dana and I took most of the same time off (work) to match.  Always reading. 💜 Hanging out with Brynn. 💗 Dana and I went on a Costco date. We tried our hand at homemade ravioli again. I think it went a bit more smoothly compared to last time. Hubert's sister Abby stopped by for a visit. We hadn't seen her in a long time and so it was fun to have her We celebrated Dana's birthday and kicked it off with some Sandy's donuts. I don't recall what was so funny. haha. Clara's card. Birthday King Clara dyed eggs. I baked a birthday cake for Dana, messed it up getting it out of the pans, and Clara somehow cobbled it together into a masterpiece. Dana chose Lucky 13's for dinner out. On Saturday we packed up to hit up Oliver's birthday party before we went on to Dead Lake for Easter. Oliver is 9!

January + Valentine's Day + CATS!

We ARE still alive over here and have not frozen to death. Here's what we've been up to for the past month and a half! Brynn and Hubert at the OG (Olive Garden): 'Lady and the Tramp' style. haha. Taking in a Force game...with extra fighting. It was very exciting. One Sunday when Clara was at a sleepover, the three of us went to Black Coffee Waffle Bar after church and then for some crepes and boba at Tea & Crepe. Then Brynn and I went prom dress shopping which was really fun. She did find a dress she loves so that was a relief. This is not the one she chose, but she tried on quite a few nice ones. Clara made crowns for the king and I (me). Clara had to write an essay to be considered for the robotics team at school. She waited for at least a couple of weeks to learn if she was accepted, and unfortunately was not. She was pretty disappointed, but she does have a chance to reapply next year when she's a fifth grader, and won't have to write another essay. I th...
