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.

Fall Things + Dana's Hunting Trip

 Clara and I walked over to the high school for a boys' soccer game. They were pretty impressive to watch. Elise and Clara had fun raking leaves and Grandpa and Grandma's lake. Well, I know Clara had a great time for sure. I can't remember if I had posted that Dana did away with the garden and planted grass where it once was. So, Clara mowed that section. It was a perfect size for her to tackle. She might have found herself a summer job already. An amazing double rainbow! Thank you to those who donated for Clara's school walk-a-thon which took place last Monday. Dana and I were able to go watch and then joined in for some laps as well. Benny the Eagle was out there cheering the kids on too. Dana was busy making monster cookies for his annual hunting trip up north with his Dad and family friends. He kindly left some behind for us...which are long since gone now. :-) Grandma Holly came up while the guys were gone and took Clara shopping and the girls for lunch on Saturday

Thanksgiving 2023

The kids rolled out and baked sugar cookies for Thanksgiving. We finished our thankful pumpkin. I saw this in the store and given the season, it took me right back to my Grandma D's house on Thanksgiving and the bowl of walnuts she'd have on her table with the nutcracker. I wanted to buy it just for nostalgia purposes. Cora and Clara made these adorable turkey crafts at the crafternoon at the library.  On Tuesday we went downtown for the tree lighting at Broadway Square. Abby, Hubert's sister, joined us as well. She just turned 10, so she got along pretty well with Clara. They had s'mores kits so we had to toast some mallows right away. I love how Clara's marshmallow is completely ablaze and she's still posing for the photo. Hahaha. We had to visit the reindeer too. I made them do jazz hands. And then, of course, we had to hit up Blackbird afterward. Our Wednesday morning XaBeat class. We were feelin' pretty festive. The girls had Wednesday off from school,

May Day + My Birthday + Star Wars Day

Brynn put together our May Day baskets and did a fantastic job. Clara and I did the deliveries... And we received one as well with these beautiful flowers. It was from Clara's friend, Cora, and her fam. We went out to dinner as a family to celebrate my birthday on Wednesday to best accommodate schedules this week. I got to open my cards and gifts when we got home. I had picked up a slice of puppy chow cake at Sonder Bakehouse so we all shared that. Then Brynn and I went out to play a little tennis. It was a beautiful day outside. I had taken Friday (my actual birthday) off of work and Tessa came up to have brunch with me. We had Black Coffee + Waffle Bar. It was so fun. Then May did my hair as it was overdue for a cut and color. Dana and I were able to go out just us two while Brynn took Clara to her school fun night...not only that, but Brynn also volunteered to sell tickets/wristbands (I was originally going to do it) so that I didn't have to and could go out. 💜 I had a coup
