Fall + Spooky Times

These might be slighty out of order from the earlier posts' photos, but I was trying to group pics together in a way that made sense categorically.

I went to the movie 'Verity' in the theater. I had read the book and thought the movie was a good adapation of it. It was a psychological thriller - perfect for this time of year.

Michelle and I caught some peak fall colors at Maplewood State Park.

Time for soup! Dana made a batch of cream of chicken wild rice.

I found these cute Snoopy pumpkin PJs for Clara.

Soaking up this amazing weather around home.

Amanda and I did the "Brothels, Brews, and Boos" tour downtown. It was similar to the one that Dana and I went on last year, but unfortunately for us this year, last year was more fun.

Harvest time! I was near Buxton, ND getting some drone footage of pinto bean harvest for work.

Falloweekend! Doing fall activities with my sister and some of our kids.

Maplewood is so pretty this time of year. I'm sad to have missed it at its peak! Snoopy is my favorite; great jammies, Clara! I love the perspective of the photos you took of her through the window raking leaves. Falloweekend was so fun! I'm glad I didn't have to go to jail for having too much fun.

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...

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...
