Updates

I forgot to update after Clara's 15-month check-up about a week and a half ago. She is healthy and doing great! She is still on the small end of the spectrum at 18 lbs. But she packs a lot of fire into her little body. :-) She kept hitting my face the other day and I kept pulling her hand away and telling her 'no.' Then I reminded her to be nice to Mommy in which she responded with a big hug. Hard to stay angry with those loves.

This picture below is our typical morning. Every morning. Just like Brynn used to, Clara loves to watch me put on my make-up in the morning. She even pretends to dab the brush in the blush and put it on her face. Haha. Always crack me up. Or she likes to dump the entire contents of my make-up bag out onto the counter, like below! 


A little throwback Thursday action here....hopefully we don't end up in the same situation as Brynn got herself into at just a little bit older than Clara is now. :-)



Bath times! Clara gets so crazy kicking her legs and splashing in the tub. She's such a little fish:


"where's your tongue?" All clean!


We had parent-teacher conferences for Brynn last night and she had a very good report! We're so grateful that she's doing so well in school. I thought my sister had a good idea to mention the upcoming events for this holiday season on her blog, so I figured I would throw ours out there too! I am unsure on a couple of the times at this point, but if you are thinking of attending, you can let me know and I'll update you with the time once I know.

December 1st - School Holiday Concert - evening
December 19th - Holiday Piano Recital - during the day sometime
December 20th - Sunday School class sings during the 9:30 church service

More Graduations + Start of Summer

A couple of weekends ago Clara had a very busy, but fun Saturday with her friend Cora and her sister, Violet. The sisters' dad took them to the Breakfast on the Farm near Hawley (We had gone many years ago. Clara was so little, she didn't remember it.)   They also stopped at the dirt track races on their way back into town and then Dana met up with them at MSUM so they could go to the oceanarium there. We had never been before, but it was on our "Moorhead List" of fun things to do in the 56560 zip code. So, check! Out on side-by-side rides any chance we get. We parked on Sunset Road, as we've dubbed it, to watch the sun go down. There is usually one or two other cars parked on this low maintenance road whenever we venture down there. Clara into her granny hobbies. :-) We attended the last of this year's graduation parties over the weekend. I went to one in town on Friday night and then Clara and I stopped at Karlie's party near Fergus Falls on our way to Z...

Easter + April Birthdays

 The girls had Thursday, Friday and Monday off from school for the Easter break. So, Dana and I took most of the same time off (work) to match.  Always reading. 💜 Hanging out with Brynn. 💗 Dana and I went on a Costco date. We tried our hand at homemade ravioli again. I think it went a bit more smoothly compared to last time. Hubert's sister Abby stopped by for a visit. We hadn't seen her in a long time and so it was fun to have her We celebrated Dana's birthday and kicked it off with some Sandy's donuts. I don't recall what was so funny. haha. Clara's card. Birthday King Clara dyed eggs. I baked a birthday cake for Dana, messed it up getting it out of the pans, and Clara somehow cobbled it together into a masterpiece. Dana chose Lucky 13's for dinner out. On Saturday we packed up to hit up Oliver's birthday party before we went on to Dead Lake for Easter. Oliver is 9!

January + Valentine's Day + CATS!

We ARE still alive over here and have not frozen to death. Here's what we've been up to for the past month and a half! Brynn and Hubert at the OG (Olive Garden): 'Lady and the Tramp' style. haha. Taking in a Force game...with extra fighting. It was very exciting. One Sunday when Clara was at a sleepover, the three of us went to Black Coffee Waffle Bar after church and then for some crepes and boba at Tea & Crepe. Then Brynn and I went prom dress shopping which was really fun. She did find a dress she loves so that was a relief. This is not the one she chose, but she tried on quite a few nice ones. Clara made crowns for the king and I (me). Clara had to write an essay to be considered for the robotics team at school. She waited for at least a couple of weeks to learn if she was accepted, and unfortunately was not. She was pretty disappointed, but she does have a chance to reapply next year when she's a fifth grader, and won't have to write another essay. I th...
