Clara's first day of daycare

Clara did pretty well her first day of daycare. Mama, not so much. I starting blubbering this morning already (well, actually starting last night) when I took her out of her car seat. They welcomed me to stop in during the day or call to check on her. I thought about stopping, but thought that might be worse for myself. I did call in and she was sleeping. She didn't sleep throughout the day as much as she does at home, but I think that's because I had to wake her to leave in the middle of her longest stretch of sleep for the day. I think that threw her off. I think she'll probably adjust as time goes on. She seemed pretty beat when I picked her up. They told me everyone wanted to snuggle her and she was pretty talkative (as usual) and smiley.

Brynn stopped in to see her when she got there this afternoon, but Clara had just fallen asleep, so they brought Clara over to the school-ager room to see Brynn which was really nice.

The caretakers there are super nice and seem like they will be good to work with. I had a hard time again this evening once we all got home together again. It just seems like such a short time to be together each day. We got some good snuggles in before bedtime at least.

Thank you to everyone who was thinking of me today. It meant a lot. I don't know why it seemed so much harder for me this time. I think being home with Clara for longer and having established our nice little routine and time here at home made it more difficult to completely switch things up and not be with her all day all of a sudden. And I was remembering with Brynn we had a little more of a transition; when I went back to work, Dana stayed home with Brynn for a few days and then Grandma Holly was home with her for a few more days before she started at Nancy's, I'm sure it will get better. Hopefully it does, as I was ready to quit my job tonight. :-)

Well, here is a little proof of what a talker she is now. Clara Talking Video

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...

Easter + April Birthdays

 The girls had Thursday, Friday and Monday off from school for the Easter break. So, Dana and I took most of the same time off (work) to match.  Always reading. 💜 Hanging out with Brynn. 💗 Dana and I went on a Costco date. We tried our hand at homemade ravioli again. I think it went a bit more smoothly compared to last time. Hubert's sister Abby stopped by for a visit. We hadn't seen her in a long time and so it was fun to have her We celebrated Dana's birthday and kicked it off with some Sandy's donuts. I don't recall what was so funny. haha. Clara's card. Birthday King Clara dyed eggs. I baked a birthday cake for Dana, messed it up getting it out of the pans, and Clara somehow cobbled it together into a masterpiece. Dana chose Lucky 13's for dinner out. On Saturday we packed up to hit up Oliver's birthday party before we went on to Dead Lake for Easter. Oliver is 9!

January + Valentine's Day + CATS!

We ARE still alive over here and have not frozen to death. Here's what we've been up to for the past month and a half! Brynn and Hubert at the OG (Olive Garden): 'Lady and the Tramp' style. haha. Taking in a Force game...with extra fighting. It was very exciting. One Sunday when Clara was at a sleepover, the three of us went to Black Coffee Waffle Bar after church and then for some crepes and boba at Tea & Crepe. Then Brynn and I went prom dress shopping which was really fun. She did find a dress she loves so that was a relief. This is not the one she chose, but she tried on quite a few nice ones. Clara made crowns for the king and I (me). Clara had to write an essay to be considered for the robotics team at school. She waited for at least a couple of weeks to learn if she was accepted, and unfortunately was not. She was pretty disappointed, but she does have a chance to reapply next year when she's a fifth grader, and won't have to write another essay. I th...
