October

 Dana received his award for the patent he was issued. Very cool! 


The Fix It Forward Ministry Tuesday night crew. 💙

Brynn was excited to get her nose pierced a couple of weeks ago. She loves it! It did hurt to get it done, and she almost passed out afterward, but it's been good to go ever since then.

I can't stop laughing at this little Viking.

The weather certainly turned chilly this past week and Clara had to dig out her ear muffs.

Speaking of cat ears, we got some good snuggles in with the neighbor cat, Lucky, the other night.

Clara gave a stellar astronomy presentation on Friday night.

Clara's last soccer game of the fall season was on Saturday. It was a great game, well played by both teams, that ended with ALL players out on the field! The weather really shaped up nicely for a late afternoon game.

I love this pic of her, though she looks so old.








The Griffins

More astronomy - the moon was so bright and low last night, Clara got out her telescope to get a good look as it was rising in the sky.


Unfortunately Brynn was under the weather all weekend, so she didn't have the best time of things. :-( We thought she had turned the corner Saturday night, but was still feeling pretty tough all day today.

Adria was able to come over to play this afternoon.

Oh my gosh, congrats to Dana on his patent - how cool! That is awesome. I've been following along the Fix It Forward Instagram and love seeing all the work they do! Aw, sweet neighbor kitty. Clara does look so grown-up in the soccer photos! She looks like she's really enjoying herself out on the field. Elise was disappointed we didn't make it to one of her games this fall. If you have some video footage, she said to send it her way so she can see Clara in action. I noticed the moon last night, too, when we were out having a fire. Fun with Adria! Look at those cute ghost mugs.

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...

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...

September

When Brynn was in 8th grade, their class wrote letters to themselves that they would open once they were seniors. School staff must have sent them right to the high school for safe keeping because a few weeks ago, Brynn got hers back and read through it.    I had perfect weather for visiting a grower with my drone for work last month. Clara spent a night at Grandpa and Grandma Dietz's and did all sorts of activities. Family walk! Brynn ran into this bunch shopping at the mall. 😄 I was so tickled to get this pic from auntie - as much as Brynn was to bump into them. This nomad cat has been showing up around our cul-de-sac, but he does not like me, unfortunately. :-( His tag even says that he's not lost, he just likes to roam. Ha. (I only know that because he actually let our neighbor catch him.) Clara and I have been going to some Davies football games while it's been so nice out. Brynn has been accepted at both NDSU and UND. Yay! We visit UND next Friday, so it will be inte...
