Kindergarten Round-up

Tonight was Kindergarten Round-up at Centennial Elementary School where Brynn will be attending Kindergarten this fall. They started off with an informational presentation for the parents. Brynn met the principal who was very nice. She was hoping that her friend from  preschool and our neighbor would be there tonight, as she knew Rosha would be attending Centennial this fall, too. She did attend tonight as well and they both checked out the classrooms together. They were so excited. There are five Kindergarten classes, so we are unsure if they will end up in the same class come fall. I know they are hoping so. That would be so fun for them. Since there are five classes, they did have all five classrooms open to explore. The girls got so caught up in checking out each room, they only made it to three or four of the five.

The school and classrooms reminded me of the school I went to as a kid, which was nice and comforting. There were a lot of things in the classrooms that the girls recognized from preschool like the calendar, kitchen play area, and a sensory table.

When we arrived there was a sign welcoming the class of 2026. Woah! Brynn hasn't even begun Kindergarten yet, so it was kind of mind-blowing to think of it in those terms!

School starts August 22. Brynn is ready to go tomorrow, she says!





Shark attack!

Checking out the computers.



Already running amuck in the hallways!

Oh my gosh ::tear:: She's so grown up. She looks like Reagan in that last photo. How fun that Rosha was there, too! It looks like they had a lot of fun stuff to play with in the rooms.

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...
