Another Tooth, Swimming, Snow

Brynn and Clara dancing together on Sunday. I don't know if you can make it out on the video, but Brynn tells Clara, 'oh my sweetie pie. I love you.' :-)



Clara hanging around...



The girls both had dentist appointments on Monday. Clara did better than last time; she only cried for the first half. :-) She was happy as a clam once she was done and got to hang her fish on the net to celebrate being cavity-free. Unfortunately Brynn has a cavity that she'll need to get filled. She was pretty disappointed. 



I don't recall if I had shared that Brynn was excited to pass level two in swimming lessons last session. She was ready to move on to level three and is loving it. She started using goggles now and that has really increased her confidence in the water.



Her class even took a try going off the diving board today. I was so proud of her. She seemed kind of apprehensive at first, but she followed through and said it was so much fun and it was like going through a water portal. Ha. 




There goes another tooth! Last night the latest loose one she had and last of the front teeth was only half hanging on and really bothering her. The part that was still attached seemed pretty stuck on and not really ready to budge loose yet. Well, it must've loosened up because at Hope they posted a message in the parent app that Brynn had lost it. It actually fell out at school. I love that they were able to post the pic for us to see in there! I thought she looked so cute in this pic.



We were laughing that she looks like a vampire now.



And then this also happened today. Ugh, good-bye spring. :-(



Brynn working on a school writing project. They were assigned to write a 'fractured fairytale' (twist of a real fairy tale), about 25 sentences long, but they're supposed to type it up and e-mail it to their teacher. Brynn's is titled 'Kicking Beauty.'

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...
