July

 Reagan was in town and came to watch Clara's last tennis lesson.

Clara is very excited to be a junior bridesmaid in Nanny Izabell and her fiancé, Neil's, wedding.


Brynn and her friend, Karah, spent a few days out at Dead Lake. Thanks for having them, Grandpa and Grandma Froemming!

Dana and I made it over to Bear Creek winery as Maria's Mexican food truck was parked out there. It was so delish.



We had our Dietz family get-together at Franklin. It was a beautiful day and so good to see everyone.
Clara and I with great uncle Doug (my grandpa's youngest brother) and baby Aurora,
Doug's great-grandchild.





We were so glad Shelly and Lester were able to make it.




I left the get-together so I could get back to Fargo to pick up Amanda for the Boyz II Men concert at the fairgrounds.


They sounded so good and we had a lot of fun. I only wished I had gotten us closer to the stage.

Clara went back to Dead Lake with Grandpa and Grandma after Lake Franklin and did some fishing.






I was in Chicago for a few days for work.


We finally got around to celebrating our 21st wedding anniversary last night. Our actual date is June 26th, but we had been too busy it seemed.


We ate out at one of our favs, 46 North Pints & Provisions. This was our dessert. 

Dana bought this gazebo for our deck and I told him it would be fun if we could set up the projector to watch a movie out there, so he got everything all ready to go. It was so fun.

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...
