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.

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...

Medora Trip

 Last weekend Clara and I traveled west to Medora. Clara had never been there before and was interested in checking it out. She was mapping out our route (which was pretty straightforward!) before we left. We made good time and, of course, had to stop at The Coffee Cup in Steele. (Growing up whenever we would go to Bismarck, it was must to stop here for snacks.) We waved to Sue on our way past New Salem. It was beautiful weather when we rolled into Medora. We were able to get checked into our motel right away and walked into town to start checking things of our itinerary. Our first stop was ice cream! After ice cream we just walked around town a bit and went into some of the shops. Clara had a burger from Sheriff Bear's before we got back to our motel just ahead of a rain shower. After the weather cleared, I was hungry for dinner so we shared some pizza and drove into the Theodore Roosevelt National Park for a bit. It was very foggy and misty when we got up on Saturday morning. We ...
