January

I feel like it's been ages since I've updated the blog, but we haven't been up to a whole lot lately. Here are some highlights though...

Brynn looked up all the cancer ribbon colors and drew each one that she found. 💓


I was greeted by this snow angel outside my office building one morning. I guess it was one of my coworkers. Loved it!

Brynn and her artistic self. :-)

As you may have heard by now, Brynn's hamster, Eddie, passed away a little over a week ago. We're not sure what happened, of course. It was pretty sad, though, and I felt so terribly for Brynn. He was a good little buddy. Right away, Brynn made this tribute collage about him.


Clara ready for school one morning this week, sporting sequined cat ears.


Brynn was thinking all week if she was ready to get a new hamster and decided she was. So, she and Dad came home with Mickey on Friday. I thought my family knew I am FREAKED OUT by all things albino and this guy has the red eyes and all. But, he is still pretty cute. He is getting acclimated to his new home and family. Brynn was discouraged at the thought of 'starting over' with another hamster, having to get another one used to being pet and held. He's a bit shy still right now, but I'm sure he'll warm up soon.


He has a completely different personality compared to Eddie. He is much more docile. He looked so cute all curled up snoozing today.

Brynn and I did some more scrapbooking this weekend.


Dana and I also introduced Brynn to one of our fav movies, 'Wayne's World.' She said it was one of her fav ones that we've watched from the 80s/90s together.


The girls were doing make-up today.

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...

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...
