Easter 2024

 Clara sang in church with the rest of the Sunday School kids on Palm Sunday. They sang one of her favorite songs at the moment.


 A beautiful sunrise one morning this past week.

The girls had Friday off of school so we dyed eggs that morning.





Then Clara and I had nail appointments in the afternoon.


Saturday afternoon we made our way to Hurdsfield.

We attended the Easter sunrise service in the very balmy balcony at Chad and Tessa's church. All the churches in Goodrich were hosted for the Easter service at the one church so it was nicely full and each of the pastors all did a portion of the service. Elise did a great job playing piano and Oliver and Reagan sang 'Jesus Loves Me.'



Yay Marsha! Dana loves cats!












Tessa and Chad hosted another wonderful Easter holiday. We are so blessed. 💜


The adults were hot tubbin' on Saturday night until Chad announced it was 12:30 and we realized we hadn't filled any eggs for the hunt yet. Reagan kindly helped us at about 1:00 or 1:30 and then promptly hid all 80+ eggs.



We were all so delighted that the Easter Bunny made a visit.

And we even all got a turn to sit on/with the bunny.









The girls originally were set to have Easter Monday off, but ended up having school to make up for a snow day. Bummer. I took it off though and was glad to get caught up on a lot of things around the house and some errands. I walked to school to pick Clara and her friend, Cora, up and then took them to the crafternoon at the library.

Happy 10th Birthday, Clara!

Clara made a countdown chain to her 10th birthday. We baked a red velvet cake for her family party and chocolate cupcakes for her friend party. She looks so tall in some of these pics! Izabell's boyfriend, Neil, and Clara share the same birthday, so they all went out for lunch on their actual birthday on the 2nd. And then Neil had to get a tour of the Clara Express. Dana was in charge of getting balloons for the party and I sent him to Dollar Tree which apparently doesn't fill latex balloons, only Mylar. Dana "just knew" he had gotten the 'wrong' ones, and called me in a fit of rage over it and then followed up with this photo. haha. It all worked out just fine for Clara's ninja themed parties and I was able to pick up a few more black latex balloons from Cash Wise on my way home from work. Clara had already started partying at Prairie Joy's birthday party the night before, so I think she was short on sleep. I couldn't find her when I got home on F...

Mom + Brynn Take Chicago 2024

Brynn and I were very excited to embark on our mother-daughter trip to Chicago this week. We had gifted Brynn part of the trip as her sweet 16 birthday gift. We flew direct out of Fargo on Wednesday. We stayed at the Grand Plaza apartments on State Street in a VRBO rental. We loved it there! The building had an outdoor rooftop pool, library, gaming/movie room and gym on the 9th floor. This was us looking down from our 50th floor balcony. I refused to go to the edge of the balcony. Blech. (Photo credit: Brynn on this one!) Here are a few pics of inside the apartment that I hawked off of the VRBO listing. We got our things settled and ran next door to a Jewel Osco grocery for a few things and then got ready for dinner at River Roast along the Chicago River. It was very good and beautiful weather. I think Brynn said this was her favorite place that we ate at. Our waiter Jorge brought Brynn a carrot cake when we said we were celebrating Brynn's birthday on the trip. We came back to the...

May Happenings + More Birthday Celebration + Northern Lights + Mother's Day

 S'mores on the deck... We got Brynn's team tennis pics back. They turned out great! I had to get a couple of pins and magnets. I should have taken a pic of Hubert and me spectating at one of her games last week as Hubert was sporting his pin. :-) We three girls played last week during a nice evening. Clara's class is doing an alphabet countdown to the last day of school. J was joke day. And Clara loves to share jokes with her teacher. She made her own joke book to bring. Cindy took Dad and me out to lunch for our birthdays last Thursday. It was such a fun time and Dad and I each got a cookie skillet for being the birthday kids! So delish. We went to Granite City. Always good! Dana and I went to Sartell, MN on Thursday night and arrived late. We stopped over at the after party of the groom's dinner for our friends getting married on Friday. I snagged their kitty for a snuggle. Roger and I were the photographers for the wedding which was beautiful. We had such a good tim...
