9 Months

Tuesday night was the first annual Art and Music Night at Centennial. They were featuring students' artwork and MSUM had their students there doing pottery, face painting, and caricatures. Centennial students could go to different booths for different activities like self portraits, photo ops, etc. So, Brynn and I walked over to check it out. The music students were performing at 7:00, but we figured we should head home at that time to get to our nightly routine of homework, piano practicing, etc. It was fun, though! 






Brynn's mask she made in art class.


Almost done with 1st grade already! :-( 


This child does not like to keep her socks on. She looks so proud of herself every time she pulls them off...which is every chance she gets. I set her down to play while I finished getting things packed up in the car the other morning, and came back to find her like this. Sneaky!



Clara is now nine months old! I can't hardly believe it. She had a good check-up yesterday and is very healthy. Little, but healthy. :-) She weights about 15.5 lbs which puts her in the 15th percentile compared to other babies her age. She is working on table food slowly, but surely. She isn't crawling yet, but pushes herself around. No toothies, just like big sister at this same age. Looks like we have another late teether. Her favorite trick is to clap. She is catching on to 'so big' also. 



There was a lot happening at Centennial this week, as this morning was Muffins for Moms. They had a little different set-up this year for the flow of getting your muffins and finding a spot to sit, and that seemed to go a lot smoother. The muffins were delicious and it was so fun to go and have breakfast with Brynn! She was pretty excited, of course.


Baby sister got to tag along and have a little bit of muffin, too.

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
