Visitors


Brynn playing a recent favorite piano song:

This weekend our friends from St. Cloud came for a visit with their two kids. It was fun to see them again and spend time together.

Dana took them on a tour of the Case plant.

Brynn had gotten a gift card to Clay Your Way for her birthday and so she had been itching to go and try it out. It is a pottery place where you choose already-made pieces to paint. They glaze your painted project and fire it and then you pick it up within a week. Brynn thought it would be fun for Zander and Maizie to go, too. It was super busy when we first got there and there were no tables for us, so we decided to walk over to Scheels which was right across the street and fart around there for a bit until some people left at Clay Your Way. Brynn loves to 'visit' the presidents statues outside the Scheels building.




Finally...we were able to get a table at Clay Your Way.


Brynn chose this to paint for Clara.






Malts this afternoon

Dana making smoothies with our new blender. This thing is super awesome. He made some baby food in it for Clara the other night.


Big sister reading to little sister. Love it. It was so warm out today that our house got really hot despite us running the fan on the furnace and having our patio door open. So, that's why Clara is missing her pants. :-)

The kids had fun playing outside yesterday after Clay Your Way and today Brynn was outside for a while again. It's so nice to be outside and enjoy the great weather right now.

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
