This Little Turkey

Our littlest turkey turned double digits on Thanksgiving Day!

Brynn, your sass and spunk are unmatched.  You are a little mother both when Mom is gone and when Mom is home.  While we may need to reign in a degree of the sass, your self confidence will serve you well as long as you can find a husband patient enough to endure!

“Brynn, I think the 6th graders need a little break from your bossing”

Brynn’s response while shrugging her shoulders, “I’ll try, but no promises!”

Happy, Happy 10th Birthday little turkey!  We love you so!

Nothing Says…

Nothing says “Here Comes Christmas” like freezing off a limb to pick up a piece of frozen, kind of damp candy!

  

Light up parade…CHECK

Here comes Christmas!

Thank You

Thank you Fargo Public Schools!

Caleb received this letter in the mail from his 8th grade science teacher

The love of music and the love of our children filling theaters!

Fargo Publics you are the main reason we endure ND winters.  So thankful!

Thank Goodness

Thank goodness friends and family came over to give Brynn get well wishes today as while they were at the house they helped to fill up Remi’s birthday board!

As Remi’s family, we got stuck after “wild!”

Thank”full” Kate came and added “playfull” and “runfull!”

Happy 6th birthday to our playfull, runfull and wild puppy!

Get‘er Done

Time for Brynn to have her hard palate repaired.

Let’s get’er done!

Pre-op

Post-op

    

After only requiring ibuprofen post-op, we were ready to bust out of the hospital PRIOR to spending the night.  The girls felt no shame in subtly letting our nurse, Ruby, know we were ready to go home.

Brynn was showered with so many get well wishes. 

Mark ordered her a penguin blanket, tracked the shipping daily and was elated when it came…texting Mom:

Happy to have this behind us!

Life Of

The life of a distance runner…Nike Regional in Sioux Falls (racing even though it felt like Antarctica!)

The life of distance runner siblings…roadtrip, amazing gas station treats, “decaf” from the hotel lobby, games and eating out!
