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.

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...

Clara's 11th Birthday

Clara celebrated her 11th birthday with a disco themed party with her friends and musical party with family. Happy birthday, Clara Rae! We love you! Brynn baked and decorated Clara's family party cake while Clara decorated the cupcakes she and I baked for her friend party. Dana and Clara turned the back garage into a discotheque and Clara made up a playlist for Dana to use when he was DJing.   I made her birthday baked oats the morning of her birthday. Brynn did an incredible job on the cake! After her own party, Clara was off to another one for her friend Elizabeth.  On Sunday Clara wanted to go to The Olive Garden for her birthday dinner out. They gave her a whole container of mints just for her. Ha.
