Performances

This past week we enjoyed several holiday performances from the girls. First up was Brynn's piano recital on Saturday right after Reagan's birthday party. She played 'Little Drummer Boy' and did a fantastic job.




Sunday Brynn sang in church. She is surrounded by some of the other kids in our Sunday School class, plus the tall kid in the Vikings jersey over to the left. We have such a great group of kids this year in class; they are always so well-behaved. Daddy took the below pic, but I probably should have taken the camera with me, as I had a front row seat to the action since I led my group up to the front.


Yesterday was the HopeKids daycare and after school program concert. They had the grade schoolers down to the toddlers all up there at the same time, so we saw Brynn and Clara together. Clara had been practicing her songs at home this past weekend. I don't have any good pictures of Brynn as she was in the same position the whole time as you see in the below pic. She was upset because she didn't dress up like some of the other girls did. Clara did great, though! Ha.


I came over to the side so I could see Clara better and take some more pics. She spied me and came running over to me. I thought for sure she wouldn't go back to her spot to sing, but she did and finished out the concert.



Here is the video from their performance.

Thank you to the grandparents for coming to watch the performances! It's always so fun. Tomorrow I go decorate gingerbread houses at Brynn's school, so I'm looking forward to that.

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...

Fourth of July 2025

We were able to spend the Fourth at Tamarac again this year, with my sister and her family.  We arrived just in time for Brynn to change into her tennis outfit for the boat parade float. Their theme was sports this year. Clara and Oliver caught candy from the dock. This was the first Fourth of July holiday spent at my sister and Chad's own cabin on the same lake that Chad's parents have their cabin. Clara brought my mom one of her favs, Tootsie Roll. We were also celebrating Mom's freedom this holiday...from working on the Fourth! For the past how many years, Mom has had to work the Fourth of July parade back home in Carrington. However, this year as she is preparing to retire and training in her replacement, she gave the parade reins to her successor. It was great to have both Mom and Dad spend the Fourth with all of us together. It was just like old times when we all gathered at Terry and Wanda's for lunch though. I made a new recipe for dessert: red, white and blue c...

Halloween 2025

Happy Halloween! We did trick-or-treating at my office again and celebrated National Cat Day a couple of days late. Unicorn making magic happen! The kids and Freddy. We got a little bit of a late start around 7:30. We went to a neighborhood near the high school where several of Clara's friends live. We stopped at Micah's house to say hi and another schoolmate happened to be over as well. We got to visiting too long and by the time we headed back out, some houses either had run out of candy (including Micah's, where they went through 600 pieces his mom said) or were already done for the night. But, we still got around to several. It had just gotten done raining and the wind was cold, so I didn't care to be out too long myself. Clara asked to have another post-Halloween party this year and Brynn planned and executed the whole thing. One of our fav parts was the missing children posters which were all the guests. Green Army Man, Clara Barton, Luna Lovegood (from Harry Pott...
