Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust

Brynn got to spend a couple of days at Grandpa and Grandma Froemming's house this week. She had a great time riding four wheeler, baking cookies and shopping in Fargo today. She seemed happy to be home again, but was sad later this evening that she missed Grandma.

Brynn has really been into Tinkerbell lately and Grandma was nice enough to buy her some fairy wings when they were shopping today! (pics of that below!) Anyway, so I wrote the following to Brynn while she was at Grandpa and Grandma's and below is what she "wrote" back to me via Grandma. :-)

Me: Hi Brynn! I know you are busy having a good time with Grandpa and Grandma! See you soon. Be a good girl. I love you. “Faith, trust and pixie dust!” Love, Mama

Brynn: Love you, Mom, so much. I like Cinderella, too! Pixie dust is the light of all!

She is a good scooper.

Always having to taste test.

We decided to have story time outside tonight since it was so nice out...
and a bedtime sandwich snack. :-)

She is forever trying to catch a bird. I always wish her luck.
That dark blob in the grass is her target. She's trying to sneak up on it.

Taking flight.

Hahaha, I love it. That last pic is hilarious. Maybe her fairy wings will help her catch some birds. Great idea to take story time outside.

I can almost taste those cookies - the dough looks yummy. Wasn't it just the most beautiful evening for being outdoors? Great photos.
It looks as though she's really going to fly! :)

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...

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...

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...
