Visit to Uncle Lester + Aunt Shelly's

Last weekend we road tripped down to uncle Lester and aunt Shelly's house for a quick visit before we headed back so Clara could attend a friend's birthday party.

The girls were off of school Thursday and Friday for teacher's convention break and I took Friday off of work, so we started heading south on Friday morning. Dana stayed behind as he wasn't feel well, unfortunately.

Clara had brought her monkeys to introduce them to Shelly's monkeys.

Lots of monkey business!






Brynn loves visiting small towns like Fessenden and Wolsey (where Lester and Shelly live) because everyone is so friendly and knows one another and you can get everywhere around town on foot (or if not on foot, then very quickly by car). So, we were on a walk, stretching our legs from the car ride and taking advantage of the nice weather on Friday afternoon, when we found the Buzz'n Coffee Shop. Shel had told us about it and it did not disappoint. They not only sell coffee, but treats and ice cream as well.

Clara enjoyed the ice cream while playing with the play set they had there.




They also had one of those little library houses out in front and Clara found a book from the  Magic Tree House series which she has read at school. She was super excited. 



Pretty soon after we got back from the coffee shop, it was time to start on the chimichangas! Brynn made her famous guacamole.

Clara and I were on frying duty.



What a treat! They were so yummy. Then the neighborhood cat, Boots, came by for a visit.

Thanks for having us, Shelly and Lester! Had a great time as always! 💜

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...

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...
