Mid-summer Updates

The girls had the bubbles out one nice evening last week.

Clara already went to her four-year check-up. She's doing great! I did tell her pediatrician that, yes, she is still sucking her thumb. He didn't say too much other than some suggestions of how to try and curb it.

After Clara's appointment we came home and made calzones...with a giraffe. ;-)

More animal dress-up. Last Friday it was dress-up day and you could dress up as any character or animal that you wanted. So, Clara chose to go as a black kitty.

On Saturday the girls headed to Dead Lake while Uncle Chad and Auntie Tessa came to go to the Journey/Def Leppard concert with us. We had a nice dinner out and made our way over to the concert.

Brynn made me this sign that I was to take to the concert along with her light up stick thing.

Chad and I had a great time and were totally in our classic rock element while Dana and Tessa more or less tolerated it. :-)

Meanwhile the girls were having fun at the lake.

Sorry for all my text on top of this video. I shot it in Instagram and should have saved it as a regular video before I added all my commentary. However, I walked it upon the most hilarious and precious conversation. Brynn was taking her shower and Clara wanted to sit in and visit with her. She asks Brynn, "do you like cows?" hahaha. Brynn did answer that, yes, she does like cows.

Clara had her shower after their visit and Grandma braided her hair.

So pretty!

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...

Medora Trip

Last weekend Clara and I traveled west to Medora. Clara had never been there before and was interested in checking it out. She was mapping out our route (which was pretty straightforward!) before we left. We made good time and, of course, had to stop at The Coffee Cup in Steele. (Growing up whenever we would go to Bismarck, it was must to stop here for snacks.) We waved to Sue on our way past New Salem. It was beautiful weather when we rolled into Medora. We were able to get checked into our motel right away and walked into town to start checking things of our itinerary. Our first stop was ice cream! After ice cream we just walked around town a bit and went into some of the shops. Clara had a burger from Sheriff Bear's before we got back to our motel just ahead of a rain shower. After the weather cleared, I was hungry for dinner so we shared some pizza and drove into the Theodore Roosevelt National Park for a bit. It was very foggy and misty when we got up on Saturday morning. We ...
