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.

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...

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...

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...
