Picnic in the Park and Just Clara

Today Brynn's class had a picnic in the park at Stonebridge Park which is the one behind our house. Mrs. Stewart invited parents to join them either at the park or to walk over with the class. Brynn asked me if I would walk with them so I met up with them at the school to walk over. It was such a perfect day; the kids seemed to have a lot of fun. I also got to meet one of Brynn's newer friends, Melissa, who moved here mid-year from Philadelphia. She and her family live in the apartments across the park, and I think she and Brynn did play together one night when Dana took Brynn to the park. She was quite a character. She talked non-stop and was so animated. Ha. I got a kick out of her. She also rides the bus in the morning, so Brynn has a bus buddy now and I think they usually eat breakfast together at the school.

Since it was so nice out Brynn suggested we walk over to Penny's for her piano lesson today. Brynn has been practicing "Tomorrow" from the musical Annie which she'll perform at her recital on Tuesday.



After piano we were going to grab a pizza from Casey's and just as we were walking up to the counter I saw the guy drop a pizza on the floor. Well, of course that was our pizza. Ha. So, we had to wait there until he made a new one. It's right in the middle of the photo, in case you missed it. I took a pic to text Dana, letting him know we were going to be a bit longer than expected.


Killing time waiting for our pizza. It was worth the wait!

Little pumpkin has seemed so much more mobile this past week or two. She always wants to stand and is trying to get around by any means possible. She did pull herself forward on her stomach the other night; whereas she could only go in reverse before. Big girl.



Luckily since it was such a gorgeous day/evening, I could bring Clara out for her round of pics tonight. Such a happy baby.

Just saw this post - those girls look like they have some fun together! Nice shots of them at the park. Oh my sweet Clara is so cute - I'll have to get some reprints of those shots!!! Thinking of Brynnie today with her recital - wish we could be there.

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
