Anniversary Date Night and Pool Time

Last Sunday after we got back from Cousin Camp, Grandpa Kim stopped by for dinner on his way home from the lake. The girls sucked him into a card game after dinner.









The weather has been great for pool time this past week.





On Wednesday the girls went to stay with Grandpa and Grandma Froemming at the lake for a few days. I guess Brynn complimented the neighbor guy on his bib overalls, so he went shopping in Fergus and outfitted them with their own! Haha. I couldn't stop laughing at this pic Grandma Holly sent me.




While Brynn and Clara were gone, we decided to make a go of a night out on the town to celebrate our wedding anniversary which was on June 26th.

We first went out to eat at Rustica downtown. We hadn't been there before except for when it was a different restaurant altogether under different ownership. It was really good.



After we ate, we tooled around Island Park for a bit. We hadn't really been down there much before and it's a pretty nice, well-known park in Fargo. In front of the tennis courts they had these odd concrete bleachers. I had terrible shoes on and didn't want to go up that high to the top, so I let Dana go on up ahead and check it out.


Safe at the bottom!




I had seen on Facebook that one of the local pizza places, Rhombus Guys, shows movies outside on their rooftop every Friday night at 10:00. So, we found ourselves up there with a yum pizza and 'Indiana Jones' for the movie.



We had a good view from up there of the Bank of the West building where I interned when I was in college.



Yesterday Dana ran to the lake to bring the girls home. It was great to have them back!

Brynn's neighborhood friend stopped by to play for a bit and they worked on a sidewalk beautification project. :-)



Lunch outside today.


Brynn and I made s'mores bars. Delish!



More pool time. Our friends Amanda and Adria came over to play this afternoon and Adria's daddy joined us for supper later. It's so funny to watch them play together.










 Clara had a nice, long nap this afternoon, but she was looked pretty haggard by the end of the night tonight...she was dirty, played-out and had lost her shirt to a spilled milk incident.



Still had enough left in her for some strawberries before bath and bed, though. Brynn is back on a bracelet loom kick.


Always watching what big sissy is doing.

January Recap

Right before Christmas break was done, Brynn and  I went downtown to Nichole's for some graduation planning. Making lefse! Clara finished up her time in robotics league with a presentation of the robots and mission that she and her partner/friend, Elizabeth, had been working on. Here's a video compilation of two of the missions they presented. It was so cool. I especially liked the one that picked up the rocks. Some of Brynn's recent drawings. Bedtime snuggles. 💜 I was messaging with Clara's teacher to see if he could let her know that Brynn would pick her up from school one of the very cold days last week. He wrote me back to confirm Clara received the message. I asked Clara when she got home if she wrote that last sentence. Haha. Clara had her first swim meet on Saturday, which was a 'home meet,' hosted by Clara's team, the Red Dragons at Moorhead High School. She was disgruntled about getting up at 7:00 am on a Saturday morning, but each team had specifi...

Clara's Recital + Scouting Event + XaFriendsgiving

I was in full fall mode watching 'When Harry Met Sally" in my turkey leg slippers the other night. Dana and I went out to eat at Granite City on Friday night and I think I found my signature cocktail for Christmas. It's called Snow on the Beach and it was so pretty and tasted really good! Saturday morning Clara had her piano recital and did a great job! Thank you to sister Brynn and the grandparents for coming. After lunch with everyone (family, not the other piano students), she was off to the next thing which was  a Scouting event at NDSU. She had to miss the morning session because of the recital, but in the afternoon they made a tool box. It turned out great. That night we had the XaBeat (the exercise dance class I go to) crew with spouses over for a little XaFriendsgiving. It was super fun. Dana mixing up old fashioneds. There was no shortage of food - it was an amazing spread. Dana smoked a couple turkey breasts that turned out really well and the stuffing sausage bi...

Christmas 2025/New Years 2026

Christmas gift wrapping shenanigans: Keeping Brynn company while she wraps all of our Christmas gifts. Brynn and I couldn't help but peek at the 150 Famous Poems book we gave to Clara. So many good ones. Getting into the holiday spirit at Courts Plus. Ha! Christmas eve brunch. Clara's gingerbread house contest strategy notes. Contestants were allowed 20 minutes to shop for their houses at Wal-mart. We left ourselves little time to get ready for the 3:00 Christmas eve service at our church. But, we made it and thankfully didn't have to sit in the overflow area in the chapel! It was a beautiful service. We had bit more time in between church and when we planned to leave for Tessa's, so I mixed up my eggnog and we got the car packed. Tessa's family hosted Christmas eve at their lake home. We had a great mix of people to play a game of Mind the Gap. Getting cookies ready for Santa. Clara got Dana and me up around 7:30 and we watched her open her stocking. I think Dana a...
