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.

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...

Halloween 2025

Happy Halloween! We did trick-or-treating at my office again and celebrated National Cat Day a couple of days late. Unicorn making magic happen! The kids and Freddy. We got a little bit of a late start around 7:30. We went to a neighborhood near the high school where several of Clara's friends live. We stopped at Micah's house to say hi and another schoolmate happened to be over as well. We got to visiting too long and by the time we headed back out, some houses either had run out of candy (including Micah's, where they went through 600 pieces his mom said) or were already done for the night. But, we still got around to several. It had just gotten done raining and the wind was cold, so I didn't care to be out too long myself. Clara asked to have another post-Halloween party this year and Brynn planned and executed the whole thing. One of our fav parts was the missing children posters which were all the guests. Green Army Man, Clara Barton, Luna Lovegood (from Harry Pott...

Christmas 2025/New Years 2026

Christmas gift wrapping shenanigans: Keeping Brynn company while she wraps all of our Christmas gifts. Brynn and I couldn't help but peek at the 150 Famous Poems book we gave to Clara. So many good ones. Getting into the holiday spirit at Courts Plus. Ha! Christmas eve brunch. Clara's gingerbread house contest strategy notes. Contestants were allowed 20 minutes to shop for their houses at Wal-mart. We left ourselves little time to get ready for the 3:00 Christmas eve service at our church. But, we made it and thankfully didn't have to sit in the overflow area in the chapel! It was a beautiful service. We had bit more time in between church and when we planned to leave for Tessa's, so I mixed up my eggnog and we got the car packed. Tessa's family hosted Christmas eve at their lake home. We had a great mix of people to play a game of Mind the Gap. Getting cookies ready for Santa. Clara got Dana and me up around 7:30 and we watched her open her stocking. I think Dana a...
