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.

Happy 10th Birthday, Clara!

Clara made a countdown chain to her 10th birthday. We baked a red velvet cake for her family party and chocolate cupcakes for her friend party. She looks so tall in some of these pics! Izabell's boyfriend, Neil, and Clara share the same birthday, so they all went out for lunch on their actual birthday on the 2nd. And then Neil had to get a tour of the Clara Express. Dana was in charge of getting balloons for the party and I sent him to Dollar Tree which apparently doesn't fill latex balloons, only Mylar. Dana "just knew" he had gotten the 'wrong' ones, and called me in a fit of rage over it and then followed up with this photo. haha. It all worked out just fine for Clara's ninja themed parties and I was able to pick up a few more black latex balloons from Cash Wise on my way home from work. Clara had already started partying at Prairie Joy's birthday party the night before, so I think she was short on sleep. I couldn't find her when I got home on F...

Mom + Brynn Take Chicago 2024

Brynn and I were very excited to embark on our mother-daughter trip to Chicago this week. We had gifted Brynn part of the trip as her sweet 16 birthday gift. We flew direct out of Fargo on Wednesday. We stayed at the Grand Plaza apartments on State Street in a VRBO rental. We loved it there! The building had an outdoor rooftop pool, library, gaming/movie room and gym on the 9th floor. This was us looking down from our 50th floor balcony. I refused to go to the edge of the balcony. Blech. (Photo credit: Brynn on this one!) Here are a few pics of inside the apartment that I hawked off of the VRBO listing. We got our things settled and ran next door to a Jewel Osco grocery for a few things and then got ready for dinner at River Roast along the Chicago River. It was very good and beautiful weather. I think Brynn said this was her favorite place that we ate at. Our waiter Jorge brought Brynn a carrot cake when we said we were celebrating Brynn's birthday on the trip. We came back to the...

May Happenings + More Birthday Celebration + Northern Lights + Mother's Day

 S'mores on the deck... We got Brynn's team tennis pics back. They turned out great! I had to get a couple of pins and magnets. I should have taken a pic of Hubert and me spectating at one of her games last week as Hubert was sporting his pin. :-) We three girls played last week during a nice evening. Clara's class is doing an alphabet countdown to the last day of school. J was joke day. And Clara loves to share jokes with her teacher. She made her own joke book to bring. Cindy took Dad and me out to lunch for our birthdays last Thursday. It was such a fun time and Dad and I each got a cookie skillet for being the birthday kids! So delish. We went to Granite City. Always good! Dana and I went to Sartell, MN on Thursday night and arrived late. We stopped over at the after party of the groom's dinner for our friends getting married on Friday. I snagged their kitty for a snuggle. Roger and I were the photographers for the wedding which was beautiful. We had such a good tim...
