Summer Update

It's hard to believe this time next year it will be Brynn getting ready to start Kindergarten. This year, however, we're thinking of cousin Reagan and her big day tomorrow as she has her first day of school! 

Preschool has been going well for Brynn. They are doing lots of fun activities and projects. Thursday is the start of school here in Fargo, so today they took a field trip to Lindenwood Park for a special send-off to the children going off to Kindergarten. Here is a picture of Brynn and some of her friends from her class.

The girl on the far left is Rasha. She lives in our neighborhood and sometimes meets up with Brynn at the park.
Lily is on the far right and is someone whom Brynn plays with quite a bit.


Last Thursday Brynn was busy helping Daddy with his snowmobile trailer out in the garage. When I went out there to take some pics, she was so excited and couldn't stop smiling and laughing. It was so cute. She just loves to help us with anything around the house. This was right before Dana tried to cut his thumb off with his angle grinder and I had to take him in to the ER for stitches. :-) Nurse Brynn now doles out his pill to him four times a day.





This past Sunday we had a family reunion with my mom's side at our house.
We had a lot of fun visiting with Grandma, Aunt Judy and our cousins. 
Four generations. Brynn was not happy at this point because the cousins had just left.

Great pics! I love the one of her and her buddies. Thanks for thinking of Reagan! Will update tomorrow. Good pic of the whole gang at the reunion, too.

January Recap

Right before Christmas break was done, Brynn and  I went downtown to Nichole's for some graduation planning. Making lefse! Clara finished up her time in robotics league with a presentation of the robots and mission that she and her partner/friend, Elizabeth, had been working on. Here's a video compilation of two of the missions they presented. It was so cool. I especially liked the one that picked up the rocks. Some of Brynn's recent drawings. Bedtime snuggles. 💜 I was messaging with Clara's teacher to see if he could let her know that Brynn would pick her up from school one of the very cold days last week. He wrote me back to confirm Clara received the message. I asked Clara when she got home if she wrote that last sentence. Haha. Clara had her first swim meet on Saturday, which was a 'home meet,' hosted by Clara's team, the Red Dragons at Moorhead High School. She was disgruntled about getting up at 7:00 am on a Saturday morning, but each team had specifi...

Clara's Recital + Scouting Event + XaFriendsgiving

I was in full fall mode watching 'When Harry Met Sally" in my turkey leg slippers the other night. Dana and I went out to eat at Granite City on Friday night and I think I found my signature cocktail for Christmas. It's called Snow on the Beach and it was so pretty and tasted really good! Saturday morning Clara had her piano recital and did a great job! Thank you to sister Brynn and the grandparents for coming. After lunch with everyone (family, not the other piano students), she was off to the next thing which was  a Scouting event at NDSU. She had to miss the morning session because of the recital, but in the afternoon they made a tool box. It turned out great. That night we had the XaBeat (the exercise dance class I go to) crew with spouses over for a little XaFriendsgiving. It was super fun. Dana mixing up old fashioneds. There was no shortage of food - it was an amazing spread. Dana smoked a couple turkey breasts that turned out really well and the stuffing sausage bi...

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...
