Hello

Today Brynn started her first day at HopeKids Preschool and Daycare which is run by and located inside the church we belong to, Hope Lutheran Church. Brynn was really excited to go today and jumped right into the action when we arrived this morning. I called there in the middle of the day to see how it was going, and they said she was having a great first day and making lots of new friends. There are quite a few girls there compared to boys, which is opposite of what it was at Nancy's. Although she doesn't seem to mind playing with boys, she is so into all things girl, she probably has a hard time convincing the boys to join in with babies, parties and princesses. 


When I went to pick her up at the end of the day, she very excitedly came running up to me. She wouldn't cough up much information about her day until Daddy came home; she kept telling me everything was 'secret.' We both asked her if she made any new friends, and she looked at us funny, asking "how can you make a friend? No, I didn't make any new friends. How do you build a friend?" Ha. So, we re-worded that question, and turns out she did meet some new kids to play with. :-)


She is ready to go back tomorrow again, she says! One of the helper girls from Nancy's texted me today, as she was gone last week and did not have a chance to say good-bye to Brynn on her last day. She said it just wasn't the same there without Brynn today.

Her cubby.

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...

Reagan Graduation + MDW + Tennis

This past weekend our oldest niece, Reagan, graduated high school. She will be attending UND for nursing in the fall. We're so proud of you and love you so much, Reagan!   Cousin Cayden had his Italian soda bar set up at the party which was super fun and a big hit. She opened a few gifts the night before her commencement. Reagan is the third generation to graduate from Harvey High as my mom and her dad, Chad also attended there. This was such a fun gift idea that Tessa put together from her and Chad. We got back home Sunday evening and between the four of us doing different things, spent most of Memorial Day outside. It was such beautiful weather. Brynn and I played tennis and Dana and Clara replaced some shrubs and did yardwork. The tennis season has wrapped up for Brynn now. She's sad to not be playing anymore, but still gets some court time between playing with friends and sometimes Clara and/or me. We're so proud of her and glad she played again this year. I had taken s...
