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. :-)
Showing us her moves.

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!

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...
