Blessings

Last night was a beautiful night to be out at the park.

Brynn with her crazy static hair from going down the slide.



Clara doing tummy time...buns up.

Big sister helping.

Talking to each other.

I love the way Brynn looks at her.


My BFF came over with Clara's BFF to visit on Saturday. It was so good to spend time with her and see her sweet baby. We plan to get together next week again, so hopefully we'll get some pics of the babies together.


 Here is Clara in her Sunday best. Today was the first time she has gone to church. Dana did sound tech for the Sunday School skit and Brynn was in Sunday School class, of course, so it was just Clara and me in the service today. She just snuggled and slept the whole time. It was communion today and I was excited to take her up with me so she could receive a blessing from the pastor while I received my communion. He did touch her head and bless her and offered his congratulations. We then made our way to the end where a girl I know from Sunday School was holding the basket for the empty wine cups. She sweetly said, "God loves both of you." ;-) Love it!.

She has really filled out again it the last week and is getting some squeezy cheeks and thighs!

Brynn made Play-doh dresses for her miniature princess dolls.

This one was especially detailed with the one-shoulder strap, polka dot top and a slit.


Daddy and Brynn tried to see if Clara's feet were ticklish yet. They are.







Um, how old is she? Oof.
Brynn's high school senior pic, class of '78. Just kidding. Her 'pose' reminded me of that time. Anyway, she said 'it's just like Facebook." hmm, ok? Not sure what that meant.

Happy 10th Birthday, Clara!

Clara made a countdown chain to her 10th birthday. We baked a red velvet cake for her family party and chocolate cupcakes for her friend party. She looks so tall in some of these pics! Izabell's boyfriend, Neil, and Clara share the same birthday, so they all went out for lunch on their actual birthday on the 2nd. And then Neil had to get a tour of the Clara Express. Dana was in charge of getting balloons for the party and I sent him to Dollar Tree which apparently doesn't fill latex balloons, only Mylar. Dana "just knew" he had gotten the 'wrong' ones, and called me in a fit of rage over it and then followed up with this photo. haha. It all worked out just fine for Clara's ninja themed parties and I was able to pick up a few more black latex balloons from Cash Wise on my way home from work. Clara had already started partying at Prairie Joy's birthday party the night before, so I think she was short on sleep. I couldn't find her when I got home on F...

Mom + Brynn Take Chicago 2024

Brynn and I were very excited to embark on our mother-daughter trip to Chicago this week. We had gifted Brynn part of the trip as her sweet 16 birthday gift. We flew direct out of Fargo on Wednesday. We stayed at the Grand Plaza apartments on State Street in a VRBO rental. We loved it there! The building had an outdoor rooftop pool, library, gaming/movie room and gym on the 9th floor. This was us looking down from our 50th floor balcony. I refused to go to the edge of the balcony. Blech. (Photo credit: Brynn on this one!) Here are a few pics of inside the apartment that I hawked off of the VRBO listing. We got our things settled and ran next door to a Jewel Osco grocery for a few things and then got ready for dinner at River Roast along the Chicago River. It was very good and beautiful weather. I think Brynn said this was her favorite place that we ate at. Our waiter Jorge brought Brynn a carrot cake when we said we were celebrating Brynn's birthday on the trip. We came back to the...

May Happenings + More Birthday Celebration + Northern Lights + Mother's Day

 S'mores on the deck... We got Brynn's team tennis pics back. They turned out great! I had to get a couple of pins and magnets. I should have taken a pic of Hubert and me spectating at one of her games last week as Hubert was sporting his pin. :-) We three girls played last week during a nice evening. Clara's class is doing an alphabet countdown to the last day of school. J was joke day. And Clara loves to share jokes with her teacher. She made her own joke book to bring. Cindy took Dad and me out to lunch for our birthdays last Thursday. It was such a fun time and Dad and I each got a cookie skillet for being the birthday kids! So delish. We went to Granite City. Always good! Dana and I went to Sartell, MN on Thursday night and arrived late. We stopped over at the after party of the groom's dinner for our friends getting married on Friday. I snagged their kitty for a snuggle. Roger and I were the photographers for the wedding which was beautiful. We had such a good tim...
