Ultrasound Update

Well, I was wrong!!  :-) I won't make you scroll through all these ultrasound pics to share that we are having a GIRL! Wow, was I surprised...in a good way! The technician was pretty confident (more than when we had our US with Brynn) and said she would be very surprised if it came out a boy. 

It was a great appointment and so fun to see what she is up to in there. She was moving and kicking around a lot and got the hiccups. Everything looks perfect, so that was great to hear as well. It was so amazing to see her heart beating; it seems so much more real now. 

Brynn was a very excited big sister when she found she was getting a sister. 

Now we just can't wait to hold her, of course.






Her legs are not actually as short as they look here; they're just kind of folded up, I guess.

Oh yeah, and today was also St. Patrick's Day! I wasn't really planning on doing anything at home as far as leprechaun shenanigans, but I had a chance to slip some food coloring into Brynn's milk before supper. She was already all in a tizzy from the antics he was up to at her school. She wasn't too happy to see what had become of her milk. She tried it, but didn't want to drink the rest of it. Ha. We had to check every room for any other signs of the leprechaun. You know Brynn, once she gets onto something, that's all she talks/thinks about. As you can see from her expressions in the pics, she was concerned. :-)

That is so exciting! From your comparison of pregnancies with Brynn, I thought it would be a boy too. Can't wait to meet her.

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...
