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.

Fall Things + Dana's Hunting Trip

 Clara and I walked over to the high school for a boys' soccer game. They were pretty impressive to watch. Elise and Clara had fun raking leaves and Grandpa and Grandma's lake. Well, I know Clara had a great time for sure. I can't remember if I had posted that Dana did away with the garden and planted grass where it once was. So, Clara mowed that section. It was a perfect size for her to tackle. She might have found herself a summer job already. An amazing double rainbow! Thank you to those who donated for Clara's school walk-a-thon which took place last Monday. Dana and I were able to go watch and then joined in for some laps as well. Benny the Eagle was out there cheering the kids on too. Dana was busy making monster cookies for his annual hunting trip up north with his Dad and family friends. He kindly left some behind for us...which are long since gone now. :-) Grandma Holly came up while the guys were gone and took Clara shopping and the girls for lunch on Saturday

Thanksgiving 2023

The kids rolled out and baked sugar cookies for Thanksgiving. We finished our thankful pumpkin. I saw this in the store and given the season, it took me right back to my Grandma D's house on Thanksgiving and the bowl of walnuts she'd have on her table with the nutcracker. I wanted to buy it just for nostalgia purposes. Cora and Clara made these adorable turkey crafts at the crafternoon at the library.  On Tuesday we went downtown for the tree lighting at Broadway Square. Abby, Hubert's sister, joined us as well. She just turned 10, so she got along pretty well with Clara. They had s'mores kits so we had to toast some mallows right away. I love how Clara's marshmallow is completely ablaze and she's still posing for the photo. Hahaha. We had to visit the reindeer too. I made them do jazz hands. And then, of course, we had to hit up Blackbird afterward. Our Wednesday morning XaBeat class. We were feelin' pretty festive. The girls had Wednesday off from school,

May Day + My Birthday + Star Wars Day

Brynn put together our May Day baskets and did a fantastic job. Clara and I did the deliveries... And we received one as well with these beautiful flowers. It was from Clara's friend, Cora, and her fam. We went out to dinner as a family to celebrate my birthday on Wednesday to best accommodate schedules this week. I got to open my cards and gifts when we got home. I had picked up a slice of puppy chow cake at Sonder Bakehouse so we all shared that. Then Brynn and I went out to play a little tennis. It was a beautiful day outside. I had taken Friday (my actual birthday) off of work and Tessa came up to have brunch with me. We had Black Coffee + Waffle Bar. It was so fun. Then May did my hair as it was overdue for a cut and color. Dana and I were able to go out just us two while Brynn took Clara to her school fun night...not only that, but Brynn also volunteered to sell tickets/wristbands (I was originally going to do it) so that I didn't have to and could go out. 💜 I had a coup
