sisters

Daddy saw a LEGO set online that he couldn't pass up, so he and the girls worked on some LEGO fun last Sunday.





The girls were being extra silly in Clara's room one night before bed.



Of course there are hard feelings around here about something every day.



Followed by "sorry" and kisses to make-up.



Yay! I finally made it to visit my sister and her new baby, Oliver, yesterday. I only stayed one night and headed back yesterday evening. But, I was so grateful for the time I was able to spend with them. He is such a good, sweet baby. We did take quite a few pictures of him, but I will wait to post any until Tessa has the chance to first. I did snap this one with my phone.



What a beautiful night it was to be outside tonight. It was nice to get out after so many rainy, dreary days.

Gettin' in my steps! Ha.



Clara had a rough go of things today, as she fell and scraped up her face on some cement at daycare. :-( Poor thing.


Brynn met up with some of her classmate friends at the park. She was able to make plans for a playdate with one of them tomorrow, so she's really looking forward to that.



Clara trying to keep up with the big kids.

It is really hard for us to get Clara to sit still for anything, especially a picture.

She was more interested in what Dad was doing. She's always asking "where Dad?" 



After we came in from outside, of course she had to have a little 'bed lunch,' as my grandpa always used to call it. Her high chair was kind of close to the fridge door which had swung close to her when I opened it to get out some milk for her. Apparently that was too close for her comfort because she held out her hand and told the door, "no, stop!" haha. 


Unfortunately this photo is super grainy, but I just love it anyway. I set Clara in Brynn's lap with her hairbrush and she handed the brush to Brynn so she could do it. Brynn was singing a sweet song she had made up for her, brushing her hair. And Brynn's mismatched socks, which she loves to wear that way. Heart melting.

Aw . . . such sweet moments. Poor Clara - but I'll bet she'll be healed up in no time. Sounds like she's quite the talker these days! You are so fortunate to have the park so near - fun for Brynn & friends especially!

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...
