Tiny Dancer

This weekend was a big weekend for Brynn. Sunday she started Sunday School for the first time. It sure was weird being in church without her! She had no problems with us leaving her for her class and was busy coloring when we came back for her. And she even got a snack, so she was pretty excited about that. I think she'll enjoy Sunday School.

Then later in the day we attended Brynn's great-great grandma's funeral visitation (Dana's great-grandma) and her funeral and burial today. Brynn had never been to a funeral before, so in true Brynn fashion, there were lots of questions. I think she knows all there is to know about funerals now. She did very well, though. We'll miss great-grandma very much, but have much peace knowing she has gone home after 102 long years! 

Tonight was Brynn's first dance class. It's a pre-school introductory dance class, so she is learning ballet, hip-hop and tap. We even had to buy the tap and ballet shoes, leotards and tights. So, I have been nervous because she has not seemed excited to go. I don't want to push her into something she doesn't want to do, but dance seemed like something she could really get into. I had at least wanted her to give it a try. Of course she was in tears when we were getting her dressed and ready to go to class. She was longer crying, but did not look happy when I dropped her off at the dance studio. The instructor just picked her up and carried her into the studio room. She sat there with the look on her face that said, "I'm here, but I don't like it." So, I left and hoped for the best. I came back to get her just in time for her to come out into the entryway with a huge smile on her face. I was so relieved. She said she really liked it and got her tap shoes back on when we got home and showed us what she learned. She didn't want to take off her leotard and tights. But, she says she's not going back next week. :-)

We cannot just take a normal photo. :-)

I'm glad to hear she liked Sunday School and dance! I'm sure she will get more excited to go to dance after being there a few times. It sounds like she did have fun. I can't wait to see her moves!

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...

Halloween 2025

Happy Halloween! We did trick-or-treating at my office again and celebrated National Cat Day a couple of days late. Unicorn making magic happen! The kids and Freddy. We got a little bit of a late start around 7:30. We went to a neighborhood near the high school where several of Clara's friends live. We stopped at Micah's house to say hi and another schoolmate happened to be over as well. We got to visiting too long and by the time we headed back out, some houses either had run out of candy (including Micah's, where they went through 600 pieces his mom said) or were already done for the night. But, we still got around to several. It had just gotten done raining and the wind was cold, so I didn't care to be out too long myself. Clara asked to have another post-Halloween party this year and Brynn planned and executed the whole thing. One of our fav parts was the missing children posters which were all the guests. Green Army Man, Clara Barton, Luna Lovegood (from Harry Pott...

September

When Brynn was in 8th grade, their class wrote letters to themselves that they would open once they were seniors. School staff must have sent them right to the high school for safe keeping because a few weeks ago, Brynn got hers back and read through it.    I had perfect weather for visiting a grower with my drone for work last month. Clara spent a night at Grandpa and Grandma Dietz's and did all sorts of activities. Family walk! Brynn ran into this bunch shopping at the mall. 😄 I was so tickled to get this pic from auntie - as much as Brynn was to bump into them. This nomad cat has been showing up around our cul-de-sac, but he does not like me, unfortunately. :-( His tag even says that he's not lost, he just likes to roam. Ha. (I only know that because he actually let our neighbor catch him.) Clara and I have been going to some Davies football games while it's been so nice out. Brynn has been accepted at both NDSU and UND. Yay! We visit UND next Friday, so it will be inte...
