School's Out/Hello, Summer

We had Brynn's tennis banquet and pot luck last week Tuesday. So many people and so much food! It was all so delicious and a nice program to celebrate the tennis season. 


Then, what seemed like all of a sudden, it was the end of the school year. 

Brynn's last official day of class was Tuesday as Wednesday and Thursday were designated as proficiency days to finish up any extra work in your classes and as an opportunity (aka last-ditch effort) to improve your final grade. You were required to attend any classes in which you were sitting at a D or an F. I'm happy to report Brynn didn't need to attend either of the proficiency days. Way to go on a great school year, Brynn!

First day, last day pic:

Clara's last day was Thursday. Unfortunately she hasn't been feeling the best with a stomach ache for most of the week, and she was sad that the school year was ending, so I didn't get any pics of her after school.

Her teacher wrote in her book. She loved her teacher again this year and definitely will miss seeing him and her friends every day.


We were still able to go out for our end-of-school-year treat after I ran Clara to the clinic to see about her stomach (She's feeling better now finally, thankfully!). Brynn and Hubert like to frequent Tea & Crepe downtown so Brynn suggested we all go there. It did not disappoint. Dana and Clara kindly shared some of their crepes with me and they were so yummy. I'll definitely be back again. They also have the rolled ice cream there and boba teas and milks.

Clara shared her awesome drawing, titled 'Rainbow Tears,' with us.

Brynn and Hubert hanging out in Broadway Square with one of their friends this past week.


Brynn has been busy applying to different places for summer employment, so she's hoping something comes to fruition soon. 

Izabell will be back with us again to spend the summer with Clara. She's signed up for a pickleball day clinic, tennis lessons again and is returning to Foss for swim class.

Brynn hosted some friends on Saturday for a summer kick-off soiree of sorts. They had a fun time visiting, painting, and playing some tennis.

Brynn put together a yummy spread, including croissanwiches. 





Here's what Brynn painted at the party:

Pickleballers!

Here's to a great summer! 🌞

Oh my, I love their art! So talented! I'm glad to hear Clara's feeling better. Rough way to end the school year. Brynn's summer kickoff gathering looked so fun!

Fourth of July 2025

We were able to spend the Fourth at Tamarac again this year, with my sister and her family.  We arrived just in time for Brynn to change into her tennis outfit for the boat parade float. Their theme was sports this year. Clara and Oliver caught candy from the dock. This was the first Fourth of July holiday spent at my sister and Chad's own cabin on the same lake that Chad's parents have their cabin. Clara brought my mom one of her favs, Tootsie Roll. We were also celebrating Mom's freedom this holiday...from working on the Fourth! For the past how many years, Mom has had to work the Fourth of July parade back home in Carrington. However, this year as she is preparing to retire and training in her replacement, she gave the parade reins to her successor. It was great to have both Mom and Dad spend the Fourth with all of us together. It was just like old times when we all gathered at Terry and Wanda's for lunch though. I made a new recipe for dessert: red, white and blue c...

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...

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...
