Brynn's Immune System of Steel!

Brynn and Mama had another photo shoot last week. We were home together because her daycare lady had influenza and she didn't want Brynn to catch it. Also, Papa had a bacterial form of tonsilitis in which we had to make a trip with her to the walk-in clinic. HOLY GERMS!! Then her daycare lady got strep over the weekend, plus who knows what else the other kids at daycare have. After all that, and she did not get sick. I was really surprised, but very grateful!

Brynn has moved downstairs into her crib at night now. It sure was sad to see her leave our room. But, I think she'll sleep better down there, as she seemed to wake up when I would get up for my 4:00 am pumping. We're one night down, and so far so good. She'll usually sleep about 6 hours, so we're very lucky!

Tara's Grandpa made this cradle for her when she was a baby.

Tara, She is so beautiful and you take such amazing pictures. I am glad you had a nice Easter. Her dress was so cute. I love the new sleeping picture. So precious. It is great that she is sleeping so long and in her own room. I hope she enjoys it as much as you did decorating it. That is great that she did not get sick a lot of the kids at work me included caught it before Easter.
Hope to see you at FUEL again soon. We miss you!!

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...

Fourth of July 2025

We were able to spend the Fourth at Tamarac again this year, with my sister and her family. We arrived just in time for Brynn to change into her tennis outfit for the boat parade float. Their theme was sports this year. Clara and Oliver caught candy from the dock. This was the first Fourth of July holiday spent at my sister and Chad's own cabin on the same lake that Chad's parents have their cabin. Clara brought my mom one of her favs, Tootsie Roll. We were also celebrating Mom's freedom this holiday...from working on the Fourth! For the past how many years, Mom has had to work the Fourth of July parade back home in Carrington. However, this year as she is preparing to retire and training in her replacement, she gave the parade reins to her successor. It was great to have both Mom and Dad spend the Fourth with all of us together. It was just like old times when we all gathered at Terry and Wanda's for lunch though. I made a new recipe for dessert: red, white and blue c...

Christmas 2025/New Years 2026

Christmas gift wrapping shenanigans: Keeping Brynn company while she wraps all of our Christmas gifts. Brynn and I couldn't help but peek at the 150 Famous Poems book we gave to Clara. So many good ones. Getting into the holiday spirit at Courts Plus. Ha! Christmas eve brunch. Clara's gingerbread house contest strategy notes. Contestants were allowed 20 minutes to shop for their houses at Wal-mart. We left ourselves little time to get ready for the 3:00 Christmas eve service at our church. But, we made it and thankfully didn't have to sit in the overflow area in the chapel! It was a beautiful service. We had bit more time in between church and when we planned to leave for Tessa's, so I mixed up my eggnog and we got the car packed. Tessa's family hosted Christmas eve at their lake home. We had a great mix of people to play a game of Mind the Gap. Getting cookies ready for Santa. Clara got Dana and me up around 7:30 and we watched her open her stocking. I think Dana a...
