First Day of School

 Dad took Brynn out for a date night to Olive Garden on Sunday night before school got started again.


Clara woke up early on Monday morning and decided to make herself a breakfast from a recipe out of one of her cookbooks. She did a great job, but it sounded like she didn't care for it very much. Daddy liked it, though, so at least someone enjoyed it.




We had just enough time this morning to snap our obligatory pics before we headed out. Brynn starts school about a half an hour later than Clara does so I rode bike with Clara to drop her off and came back to drive Brynn to her school.





It was a beautiful morning out!

She was excited that she could reach the top of her locker this year! 

No tears from either of us. I am two for two with Clara now in holding it together. I might be toughening up! She was very excited for school and just started to get a little nervous only when I was about to leave.

Brynn wasn't quite as excited for school as Clara :-)

There she goes! Last year as a middle-schooler!

Pics from Clara's teacher...


I see we'll have to send some sunglasses to school with her.

I was able to work from home today which was so nice to be here when the girls got home from their first day....and actually I rode back to Clara's school to bike back home with her. I had some pre-made cookie dough in the fridge that Clara baked for her and Brynn to have as an after-school treat.

Both girls had a good first day. Brynn thinks that 7th grade is going to emerge as her best year of middle school, but hopefully 8th grade will turn out to be great. They are looking forward to riding the bus together in the mornings.

How sweet to have an OG dinner date with dad. I’m glad the first day went well. I was wondering about them all day! Especially hoping that Brynn was having an ok time since I know she wasn’t looking forward to it. That is cool they’ll be on the bus together. Yummy cookies for an after school snack. I hope the second day goes just as well or even better!

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...
