March

Aside from my separate post on our California trip, here's what else we were up to in March...

Before we left (for CA), we had Clara's parent-teacher conferences. She's doing great!

Over St. Patrick's Day weekend, Clara got to stay at Grandpa and Grandma Froemming's. 

She FaceTimed with Brynn.

I think it was while Dana and I were at a Force game with friends, Alex and Kailey.

Brynn and I tried to find some 80s skiing gear at Savers in preparation for 80s Day at Detroit Mountain.

Clara was out helping Dana blow snow and good thing, I guess, because legend has it she had to help him out when he got stuck. hehe.

Clara was excited to start lessons back up again at Foss.


After hours shenanigans. 



Dana made us an chocolate chip oatmeal cookie in the air fryer.

Brynn has been busy in her graphic design class. She made this MSUM Dragons logo and it turned out amazingly. 

It was a great day for skiing when the 80s ski day rolled around. Elise and Reagan were able to join us and Dana and Clara went tubing.


Dana and Clara got home before we did. When we returned, I found Dana taking a nap, but couldn't find Clara...until I saw the note she had left for Dad. :-)

Catch Phrase...



Elise and Brynn made their delightful apple snack cake recipe.


I love how much this girl loves to read!


Clara wrote a note to her teacher. 

My boss showed me some serious love this week by having Crumbl delivered to our house when I was working from home one day. I didn't know who was at the door after the caller knocked. I waited to see if he or she would next ring the doorbell and sure enough, I heard the doorbell and ran over to Google home screen to see who it was on the camera and spied that pink box! :-D 

Brynn is on her next round of Invisalign to straighten her teeth. At her check-up this week, they set her up with this device that hooks up to her phone with an app. It scans her mouth and sends the file to the orthodontist's office which will alleviate us needing to physically come into the office to check Brynn's progress. Technology, man! I was cracking up at this photo. 

Someone let these two loose in Scheels. Unfortunately, they didn't come home with these bad boys. Shame.

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...

Clara's Recital + Scouting Event + XaFriendsgiving

I was in full fall mode watching 'When Harry Met Sally" in my turkey leg slippers the other night. Dana and I went out to eat at Granite City on Friday night and I think I found my signature cocktail for Christmas. It's called Snow on the Beach and it was so pretty and tasted really good! Saturday morning Clara had her piano recital and did a great job! Thank you to sister Brynn and the grandparents for coming. After lunch with everyone (family, not the other piano students), she was off to the next thing which was  a Scouting event at NDSU. She had to miss the morning session because of the recital, but in the afternoon they made a tool box. It turned out great. That night we had the XaBeat (the exercise dance class I go to) crew with spouses over for a little XaFriendsgiving. It was super fun. Dana mixing up old fashioneds. There was no shortage of food - it was an amazing spread. Dana smoked a couple turkey breasts that turned out really well and the stuffing sausage bi...

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...
