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.

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...
