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...

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...
