Clara's Check-up and The Weekend

Last week one night we made it out for a bit after supper and Clara rode in the wagon for the first time. She really seemed to like it.

Auntie Christel came to visit this weekend and the girls had such a fun time playing with her.

We cannot keep Clara out of this rock pile in our backyard. The rocks are so tempting and tasty.

Brynn Skyping with Reagan last night.

Clara's new favorite thing to get into. She beelines it for the craft drawers every chance she gets and gets mad when you try to take her away. In fact we must always be telling her 'no,' because that seems to be what her first word is. She just started saying it this week. She has also gotten very good at proudly telling people how old she is now by holding up her finger for '1!'

She also had her one-year check-up on Friday. She checked out very well. She weighs 18 lbs which puts her in the 21st percentile for weight and her height is at 18th percentile. Still kind of a peanut, but with the way she shovels food in, that may not last long. :-)

When I was making Clara's smash cake for her birthday, I saved the leftover trimmed pieces of cake and frosting so Brynn could have some fun with it later. So, she was busy doing that this afternoon.

It sure was a nice night out this evening.

Brynn was so excited that she has mastered the monkey bars all by herself this weekend. She had to take Christel, Dana, Grandma Laurie and me to the park to show off her new skill.

Melissa's (Brynn's classmate and friend from first grade and school bus mate) sister happened to have her birthday party in the park today. They were surprised and happy to see each other so I had to snap a pic of them together. So cute.

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
