Brynn Lately

The photos are a little out of order, but here we go...

Brynn and her neighbor friend, Megan. Megan came over to play for awhile on Saturday morning. They were watching Backyardigans...very intently.

We have all our carpet and furniture out of our upstairs right now, so I *tried* to take advantage of the open space and nice light in our bedroom today. Got the one picture. Sure isn't what it used to be taking pictures of Brynn back when she used to sit/stand still! She's my big girl now....well, bigger than she used to be anyway.

Brynn and Daddy after Dana's wisdom teeth surgery. Nurse Brynn was very concerned for him. I think she thought they took all of his teeth, even though she had her head half in his mouth looking around with a flashlight. She finally said the other day how she didn't have to worry about Daddy anymore because he was feeling all better.

Having a quick spot of tea before heading out the door somewhere.


Also, update on Brynn since turning four: Dana took her to her 4-year check-up which went really well. She weighs just shy of 30 lbs, though. :-( I was really surprised. Her doctor is not concerned though, as he says she continues to "track" or move up in her percentile compared to other children her age.

We needed not to have attended her birthday to know that Brynn is four around here. That is all we've heard since the big day. "I'm four, I'm bigger...I don't have to do this or that. I'm bigger; I'm the boss." Oh boy. 

Aside from the "attitude," she has seemed to grow up so much even in the past few months, especially in her looks. She is still very much into babies and has two now: Hazel (the original she's always had) and her new one, Dina. She is very imaginative and will make a toy out of anything. For example, last night she was pretending to be at the beach (common scenario for her) and she lays out a blue blanket (for the water) and puts on her "goggles" for swimming aka the plastic ring from a 6-pack of cans. Ha. She is always keeping us amused with her comments and antics.

Happy 10th Birthday, Clara!

Clara made a countdown chain to her 10th birthday. We baked a red velvet cake for her family party and chocolate cupcakes for her friend party. She looks so tall in some of these pics! Izabell's boyfriend, Neil, and Clara share the same birthday, so they all went out for lunch on their actual birthday on the 2nd. And then Neil had to get a tour of the Clara Express. Dana was in charge of getting balloons for the party and I sent him to Dollar Tree which apparently doesn't fill latex balloons, only Mylar. Dana "just knew" he had gotten the 'wrong' ones, and called me in a fit of rage over it and then followed up with this photo. haha. It all worked out just fine for Clara's ninja themed parties and I was able to pick up a few more black latex balloons from Cash Wise on my way home from work. Clara had already started partying at Prairie Joy's birthday party the night before, so I think she was short on sleep. I couldn't find her when I got home on F...

Mom + Brynn Take Chicago 2024

Brynn and I were very excited to embark on our mother-daughter trip to Chicago this week. We had gifted Brynn part of the trip as her sweet 16 birthday gift. We flew direct out of Fargo on Wednesday. We stayed at the Grand Plaza apartments on State Street in a VRBO rental. We loved it there! The building had an outdoor rooftop pool, library, gaming/movie room and gym on the 9th floor. This was us looking down from our 50th floor balcony. I refused to go to the edge of the balcony. Blech. (Photo credit: Brynn on this one!) Here are a few pics of inside the apartment that I hawked off of the VRBO listing. We got our things settled and ran next door to a Jewel Osco grocery for a few things and then got ready for dinner at River Roast along the Chicago River. It was very good and beautiful weather. I think Brynn said this was her favorite place that we ate at. Our waiter Jorge brought Brynn a carrot cake when we said we were celebrating Brynn's birthday on the trip. We came back to the...

May Happenings + More Birthday Celebration + Northern Lights + Mother's Day

 S'mores on the deck... We got Brynn's team tennis pics back. They turned out great! I had to get a couple of pins and magnets. I should have taken a pic of Hubert and me spectating at one of her games last week as Hubert was sporting his pin. :-) We three girls played last week during a nice evening. Clara's class is doing an alphabet countdown to the last day of school. J was joke day. And Clara loves to share jokes with her teacher. She made her own joke book to bring. Cindy took Dad and me out to lunch for our birthdays last Thursday. It was such a fun time and Dad and I each got a cookie skillet for being the birthday kids! So delish. We went to Granite City. Always good! Dana and I went to Sartell, MN on Thursday night and arrived late. We stopped over at the after party of the groom's dinner for our friends getting married on Friday. I snagged their kitty for a snuggle. Roger and I were the photographers for the wedding which was beautiful. We had such a good tim...
