PAST MEETS PRESENT AT

The Hotel On Phillips

BY MARY MICHAELS | PHOTOS BY JULIE PRAIRIE PHOTOGRAPHY

W

hen the Sioux Falls National Bank opened in 1918, its nine floors made it the tallest building in the state.

It also boasted all the latest in building amenities, from high-speed electric elevators and furnace-produced heat to hot and cold water on every floor.

The Sioux Falls pioneers who engineered the structure and built the banking business within it probably couldn’t imagine what would happen a century later…when it became a boutique hotel with big screen TV’s, WiFi and Alexa Echo services in every room.

A restoration project over the past two years preserved the beauty of the bank building while creating a chic hotel that features approximately 18 different layouts across its 90 rooms and suites.

That is unique for a boutique hotel, says General Manager Jolene Matheson.

“Usually, you might find four or five room types,” she says. “The fact that we were able to take an existing building and create this type of atmosphere is really exciting. It was a long project, but it was totally worth the wait.”

The Hotel on Phillips is part of the Kelly Inn family, an organization that Matheson joined in the spring of 2018. She has more than 25 years of experience in the hotel industry, however, and she appreciates preserving a piece of Sioux Falls history.

“I was born and raised here,” says Matheson, “and I worked at the State Theater when I was in high school. I have always been based in Sioux Falls even when traveling with a different hotel company, but to be able to be part of a project like this in my hometown is really a dream come true.”

She credits Kelly Inn’s President and CEO Brenda Schmidt with having a

etc. for her | January 2020 9

vision for the overall look and feel of the hotel – and then bringing that vision to life. Schmidt has overall supervision of all hotel properties and personnel for Kelly Inns and has been part of the hospitality industry since 1977.

The elegant lobby still boasts the historical character and charm of the early 1900s, with grand columns, original chandeliers and ornate tray ceilings. A wall of old safe deposit boxes provides the backdrop to the registration desk, and behind the dark wood teller windows is a Coffea Roasterie and Espresso Bar. One of the hotel’s meeting spaces – the Bankers Board Room – is located here.

Certainly the most noticeable – and iconic – element of the lobby is the original bank vault with its 16-ton door that stands open and provides a unique passageway into The Treasury lounge, which serves evening food and beverages consisting of small plates along with wine, beer and crafted cocktails.

Overlooking the lobby is the mezzanine level, which features a number of quaint seating areas, a desk space that serves as a business center for guests, the Weights & Scales fitness center and two other rooms that give a nod to city pioneers and Phillips Avenue namesakes, Josiah and Hattie Phillips.

Josiah’s Library has a rich, warm décor with leather furniture, book-printed wallpaper and gold-etched windows looking out over the lobby. Hattie’s Parlour is a social room that can seat up to 60 guests for private parties, business meetings and other special events.

The walls on the mezzanine level hold images of Sioux Falls history, from the original blueprints of the bank building to large color prints of vintage downtown blocks.

When you are planning your stay at Hotel on Phillips, you can’t go wrong when it comes to room selection. All of the rooms provide amenities such as smart televisions with Stay Casting and Video on Demand, pillowtop mattresses with duck feather and

down alternative pillows, a comfy bathrobe for lounging, wine glasses and corkscrews, a beverage cooler and wet bar, walk-in showers and in-room gourmet coffee from Coffea with high temp coffee brewers. In addition, accessible rooms offer bathtubs with grab bars or a roll-in shower.

The various room style names are as eclectic as the interior design. For example, the Regal King is accented in gold and royal blue and has a marbled vanity in the bathroom. The Purple Reign King is a corner room overlooking Phillips Avenue with nine-foot ceilings and a chartreuse-upholstered headboard against a purple wall. For a little art deco-meetsavant-garde, there is the Swanky Red QQ, with two queen beds and decorated in black and white accented with red velvet fainting couches.

The hotel also features a few two-room suites with vintage black and white photos of Sioux Falls photos blown up to create stunning wall murals. You can then turn to the windows to get first-hand views of the dynamic downtown or the Big Sioux River and shining Arc of Dreams.

“We want to create an experience,” says Matheson. “Even if you stay with us more than once, you will have a different experience based on the room you choose.

The one thing that will always be constant, though, is our commitment to excellent customer service.”

Having a customer focus is a priority during the hotel’s hiring process, she adds. They seek out team members who understand what it means to not just meet minimum expectations, but to go above and beyond to create the experience – the memories – that guests will take with them (and hopefully motivate them to return).

Other services available at Hotel On Phillips include valet parking, luggage storage and complimentary shuttle to the airport and downtown area.

Whether you are a visitor to Sioux Falls or a local looking for a little “staycation,” your stay at the Hotel on Phillips will be one of a kind…you can bank on it.

hen Dave and Karen Zimbeck were house-hunting back in the late 1990’s, they found a home sitting on a full acre of land in a well-established neighborhood. The location drew them in, and it’s a big reason why they stayed in one place all these years.

However, the house itself was built in the late 1970s and needed a little updating.

During their first five years in the house, which took them into the 21st century, they completed several renovation projects, including a 1,000 square foot addition that provided more living space and doubled the size of the garage. In addition, they remodeled the kitchen, added hardwood floors, updated the master bedroom and even changed the configuration of the staircase leading downstairs to the lower level.

Last spring, just about 17 years after the completion of their last round of “projects,” the Zimbecks decided to again freshen up the look of the main living space.

Starting in the kitchen, they took a full wall that stood between the kitchen and living room and created a cut out window to open the space and connect the two rooms. The initial idea of creating the opening seemed much simpler than the final execution, however.

“We ended up having to do quite a bit of mechanical work to make that happen due to a flue for a furnace and water heaters that ran through the middle of the wall from the mechanical room below,” says Dave. “But we were so happy with the way it turned out.”

When the Zimbecks first moved into the

house, there was an eat-in “nook” in the kitchen. During one of the past remodels, the bench seat was taken out. However, during the latest renovation, they added it back in. The grey padded bench is built in to the bump-out window, and then they added a cream-colored table and chairs with dark wood trim.

When it came to choosing colors, fabrics and other design elements for this project, the Zimbecks called on Houndstooth House for help. Karen had become acquainted with members of the Houndstooth team after meeting at a workout class 10 years ago.

“They are energetic and have lots of great ideas,” says Karen, “so I knew they

would be wonderful to work with.”

Houndstooth House was helpful not only with choosing colors, fabrics and finishes, but also with other ideas like moving the dining room table in front of the window to take advantage of the view of the lovely backyard. At times, Karen said, it felt very overwhelming, but the design team helped out there as well.

“They gave me choices, but not too many,” laughs Karen.

The dining room is a perfect example of where a designer’s eye was helpful, she says. The design team created an accent wall using floral wallpaper and paired that with geometric-patterned drapes in the same colors. A geometric theme carries

Where there had previously been wood trim and cabinets in the kitchen, the Zimbecks wanted to try a painted finish. They decided to go with white, giving a clean and contemporary look to the space with the stainless appliances and subway tile backsplash. They added a pantry cupboard with roll-outs, big storage drawers under the cooktop and glass fronts to some of the kitchen cabinets to display special heirlooms.

They last updated the lower level around 2002, so there are some ideas floating around about possible future updates.

There are unique features, however, like the sitting area created by using the

furniture that previously was used in the upstairs living room. The Zimbecks bought the furniture at an auction and reupholstered it. The set originally came from Denmark. Karen has her family piano there as well, a memory of her parents

who bought the instrument when she was a young girl.

of use, they say, due to its proximity to the door leading to the backyard – and the pool.

They included a family project in that lower level remodel by taking what was a bedroom and doubling the size to create a TV room with a built-in bench and cabinet around the TV. The house has been a wonderful home for the Zimbecks, their three daughters and dog, Daisy.

“We love the neighborhood,” says Karen.

“When we moved in back in 1996, we were the ‘newbies’ with the little babies.

Now, we see younger families moving in and neighbors updating things in their own homes. It’s great to see the investment in these homes and our neighborhood.”

MAN IN THE KITCHEN

t’s that time of year again; the time to make (and probably break) New Year’s Resolutions. You’ll hear people promising that they will do this or that. Diets will be started and abandoned, bad habits quit and rekindled. The membership at the gym will swell to new heights, until about the middle of February when those new members begin to lose interest. I know this because I have been one of those people, promising to visit the gym daily, then by mid-month revising the goal to a couple times a week, and finally admitting to myself that driving by the gym does not count as a workout. According to Inc. Magazine, about 60 percent of us make New Year’s resolutions, but only about 8 percent are successful in achieving them. Of those 71 percent say we’ll diet or eat healthier, 65 percent exercise more and 54 percent will try to lose weight. Yes, I’d like to eat better and exercise more, which would make me healthier, but instead of making promises I can’t keep, I’m going to be honest. With that in mind here are a couple of things I won’t be giving up.

Gluten Suddenly everything is being offered as gluten-free. So I started doing a little research. Should I give up gluten? The answer is a resounding NO. I will not be giving up gluten. Some people, estimated at about 7 percent of the population, suffer from celiac disease – an autoimmune disorder that causes painful and sometimes life-threatening intestinal problems. For those folks, giving up gluten is a necessity, not a lifestyle choice. For the rest of us, gluten is not evil.

Unless you have celiac disease or a real sensitivity to gluten, numerous studies have shown that there aren’t any good reasons to cut gluten out of your diet. If fact, by giving up gluten, you may miss out on many nutrient-rich foods. At least one study shows that gluten proteins help to regulate the healthy bacteria the digestive system, and others studies link gluten to better triglyceride levels and blood pressure.

Additionally, a leading consumer magazine compared dozens of gluten-free products to their regular counterparts and found that in most cases you would pay more for the gluten-free version and they were often higher in fat, calories or sodium. The “healthy” choice was actually worse for you. So my resolution is to order a pizza with the high-gluten crust, thank you very much.

Dairy I have a friend who can’t eat dairy. I feel sorry for him. Not because he can’t have a glass of milk or a creamy soup or a buttery

croissant. No, my empathy is based on his inability to eat cheese.

I really like cheese and so many things that have cheese in or on them. A simple ham and cheese sandwich, a cheeseburger and pizza. Giving up pizza would be extremely hard. I don’t even want to think about it.

Drinking While it’s clear that drinking too much is not good for you and driving while intoxicated is a serious crime, this year I resolve NOT to quit drinking. The antioxidants in alcohol and especially in red wine have been found to help increase HDL (the so-called good cholesterol) and protect arteries against damage. I’m not a doctor, and I’m sure many doctors would say the evidence isn’t strong enough for a teetotaler to start hitting the bottle, but since I already enjoy a glass of wine, I see no reason to quit. Again, if you have a problem or need to quit, I encourage you to find the support you need and wish you the best.

Going Vegetarian I love vegetables; broccoli, spinach, carrots, celery, corn, you name it, if it’s a veg, I probably like it one way or another. But, I also love pork and beef, poultry and seafood. That’s because I’m human, and as a species, humans are omnivores. It is human nature to eat a diet that includes animals, grains and vegetables.

Meatless Mondays are a great idea. A salad for lunch is perfect.

If you chose to eat one or the other, more power to you. But for me, I’ll resolve NOT to go vegetarian; instead I’ll order the rack of lamb with a side of asparagus.

Local

The risk of Alzheimer’s to women is real: Women in their 60s are about twice as likely to develop the disease as they are to develop breast cancer. But Alzheimer’s doesn’t stop there. Women also make up more than 60% of Alzheimer’s and dementia caregivers in the United States — a role that often has a negative effect on their health and finances.

I love the idea of eating locally raised foods. I’m a huge fan of the farmers markets and try to buy eggs and produce from local growers. But, I’m also realistic. We live in South Dakota; fresh oranges don’t fall off the trees in my backyard, sustainable tuna does not swim in the Big Sioux and my garden looks pretty barren this time of year. So I will resolve to continue to choose local when I can, but I’m not going to be a fanatic about it. Fresh fruits and vegetables from Florida, Arizona, California or South America are better than no vegetables. Frozen seafood is better than nothing and until global warming gets to the point where olive groves spring up around Harrisburg, I’ll continue to get my oil from Italy.

So there you have it. In 2020, I really won’t be changing much.

I’ll resolve to avoid the fads, and stick with what tastes good and feels right. I’m committed to eating too much on vacation, otherwise I’ll try to avoid extremes or excesses in any direction. I think I can stick to that, at least until mid-February.

Do yourself a favor, eat something good today.

WINE IS MADE FOR

Sharing

haring is caring. We try to teach that to young children, and it was no different in our household. We taught our kids that a giving heart expects nothing in return. Of course, when our middle child was eleven-years-old he would give stuff away like it’s going out of style, until he realized he gave something away that

he needed. There’s a much longer story here about his favorite winter hat that wound up in his best friend’s backpack at school, but the truth is that when you share selflessly, you get something much greater in return.

In the wine world, I witness many acts of sharing. A wine bottle,

Typically, if you pour 6 ounces into a wine glass, you will get four glasses out of a bottle of wine. That’s three friends that you just made happy. I’ve been thinking lately, why is there 750 ml. in a regular bottle of wine?

It seems like an odd size; why not an even 1.0 liter? Here’s what I found out: In ancient times, the Romans and others usually kept wine in clay pots. Glass blowing technology was known, but bottles were

rare and expensive novelty items that may have been used for serving wine but rarely for storing it.

By the 1500s, glass bottles were fairly commonplace in commerce and in well-to-do households, but they were used only to tap a ration from a wooden wine barrel and bring it to the table; still not for storage.

The bottle became an important part of wine only in the 17th Century, says Hugh Johnson in his Vintage: The Story of Wine, when improving technology made it possible to produce

bottles in a consistent size and shape that could be easily stored in quantity. Through the 18th Century, the standard wine-bottle shape stretched from a squat decanter-style flagon to a fat “pot” to, eventually, something close to the cylindrical bottle size we know today. Not coincidentally, the use of the natural cork stopper as a reasonably reliable way to close the bottle also developed about around this time.

Bottle sizes seemed to develop by a similar trial-and-error process. In England, the old-fashioned pint and quart sized were popular, perhaps by analogy to other bottled liquids. Most antique bottles, however, seem to fall into the range of 600 ml. to 800 ml. Britain and the U.S. eventually legalized the “fifth” bottle one-fifth of a gallon - as a standard size for wine and liquor, while Europe gravitated to the similar 750 ml size in the metric system, although with many variations such as 700 ml or 730 ml.

Only as recently as the 1970s did most industrial nations standardize on the 750 ml size for consistency in importation and taxation, a move that saw Americans lose about 2/10 of an ounce from the standard bottle. But all this still begs the question: Why

the specific “fifth” or 750ml size? Two theories in particular sound reasonable: 1. This is the average capacity of a glass-blower’s lungs, and thus the approximate size of a bottle created in one blow.

2. A typical “fifth” bottle full of wine and corked weighs about 2 1/2 to 3 pounds, a convenient size to pack and carry while shopping.

Whichever theory you ascribe to is fine with me, as long as you share your 750 ml. with some good company. After all, sharing is caring! Happy New Year and Carpe Vino!

DONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T WAIT FOR

Perfect Timing

BY LURA ROTI

KNICK KNACKS OF LIFE

A

s someone who enjoys planning, and sticking to a plan, the busier our family’s life becomes, the more I have come to understand that if I wait until the stars align to do the important things in life, they simply won’t get done.

Important things like baking Christmas cookies with my daughter. If I waited until we had a free Saturday, and all the perfect ingredients, and chilled cookie dough, and holiday tags, and, and, and…Parker and I would not have made Christmas cookies for our neighbors this year.

Sure, it would have been nice to do Christmas cookies Martha Stewart’s way, but I simply didn’t have time. Between work commitments and Parker’s extracurricular activities, if we wanted to bake Christmas cookies, it needed to be done in small batches.

Instead of a bake-a-thon, Parker and I made ginger snaps after work on a Monday night, and peanut butter blossoms one Saturday morning after I’d finished taking a final for a master’s class. We delivered cookies to neighbors four plates at a time from December 1st until Christmas Eve. And we had a great time doing it! Delivering cookies creates a great opportunity to catch up. With fewer plates to deliver, each trip out gave us more time to linger.

Because I’m wrapping up a master’s degree, 2019 has been a year when I have been particularly short on time. Strangely enough, it’s also the year we have accomplished things that were previously put off.

etc. for her | January 2020 39

We hung some bird feeders. For years we thought it would be nice to hang bird feeders outside our kitchen window. This summer we hung one to attract finches. All season we enjoyed watching beautiful red and yellow finches feed. When the leaves began to turn, we noticed several cardinals hanging out in our now-leafless lilac bush. After a quick stop at the Wild Bird Connection, we hung a feeder for them as well.

Birds and one particularly clever squirrel are providing a lot of entertainment we can enjoy from our cozy kitchen window.

Although it can’t be planned for, perfect timing does happen if you let it. One afternoon while Parker and I were running errands, I saw a perfect gift for our friend, Gail. I bought it. I thought I should wait and give it to her for her birthday. But then I realized, I didn’t know when her birthday was. I was concerned if I hung onto it, I may forget it. So, Parker and I dropped it off at her home on our way home from Lewis. Turns out, it was her birthday!

Spontaneity is something I don’t excel at, but Parker, our 8-almost-9-year-old is excellent at demonstrating. When she is ready, and asks me to do something with her, I have learned that if I put her off until I’m finished with whatever task I’m in the middle of, she will be engrossed in something new and in no mood to hang out. So, when we’re home together evenings or weekends, I’ve started making time for interruptions. It is not always easy.

KNICK KNACKS OF LIFE

However, I’ve found when I do engage on the spot, we end up having the best conversations and learning opportunities.

One Saturday, I was deep into a school project when she asked if I would teach her how to make a hair scrunchy. This has been on our “need to do sometime” list for quite a while.

So, I uncharacteristically dropped what I was doing, pulled out her sewing machine, and some fabric I had stashed away. Six scrunchies later, she was an expert and I was one proud mamma!

Making time for those we value isn’t always easy. We are all so busy. But those moments, when we make time for each other, and truly have an opportunity to catch up are priceless.

With 2020 looming, the planner in me is already crafting a list of resolutions. However, this year instead of making them quite so absolute, I’m going to apply my friend Melissa’s logic and simply, “try harder.”

Try harder to make time for fun mother-daughter activities. Try harder to eat healthier. Try harder to organize family photos. Try harder to stay connected with family and friends. Try harder to participate in outdoor winter activities, like ice skating, although I hate nothing more than being cold. Basically, in this new year, I choose to feel good about myself for making an effort to take advantage of the moments, even if the timing isn’t perfect, and to do the things that matter to me and those I love.

A HEALTHY LIFE: Advice for Women from Their 20s to Their 80s Health screenings for women vary based on your age and stage of life.

BY SANFORD HEALTH

Y

ou may not realize this, but your annual physical exam is one big health screening for women.

There are certain health screenings every woman should have every year. When your height, weight and body mass index (BMI) are measured, it provides far more information than your dress size. It helps identify women at risk for diabetes, heart disease and osteoporosis.

Blood pressure measurements and other vital signs may indicate a risk for cardiovascular disease. All women should be screened for safety in their home (domestic violence), depression, and tobacco and alcohol use every year.

Immunizations also may be recommended, such as the annual flu shot.

Every woman should see her primary care doctor once a year for an annual exam and screening. During that time, your doctor will figure out which diseases you may be at high risk for.

• At age 21 and over: Pap smear every one to three years depending on your risks and history • Sexually transmitted disease screening: gonorrhea and chlamydia annually until at least 25 years old, or longer if you have risk factors • HIV testing at least once, maybe annually depending on your risks • HPV immunizations up to age 26 • Meningococcal immunization, first-year college students up to age 21 living in the dorm • If you have certain risk factors, you may also need screening for skin cancer, high cholesterol, diabetes or hepatitis B and C

Women in their 30s need:

Here’s a guide for women from their 20s to their 60s.

• Annual exam with pelvic exam and breast exam • Practice breast self-awareness at home • Pap smears: every three to five years depending on your history and risks and type of test done • Sexually transmitted disease screening if high risk • HIV testing at least once or annually depending on your risks • If you have certain risk factors, you may also need screening for skin cancer, high cholesterol, diabetes or hepatitis B and C

Women in their 20s need:

Women in their 40s need:

• Annual exam with pelvic exam and breast exam • Practice breast self-awareness at home

Glue two googly eyes to the popsicle stick. While letting the glue dry, draw a carrot nose with an orange marker, then add dots with a black marker to form a mouth. Cut a pipe cleaner in half. Wrap one half of the pipe cleaner around the top of a popsicle stick, forming a spiral and extending the end of the pipe cleaner past the stick. Glue a pom pom to the end of the pipe cleaner, to form the top of the hat. Let this dry until it stays in place. Take the other half of the pipe cleaner and wrap it around the popsicle stick to form a scarf, just under the mouth.

Twist to hold in place, and glue if you desire. Glue three small pompoms to the bottom part of the stick, just under the scarf. Make several of these with different colored pipe cleaners, and you’ll have a family of stick snowmen to display for the winter months.

Paper Roll Snowman Materials: Paper roll, white paper, glue, black and orange markers, pipe cleaners, scissors, and two pom poms.

Cut a strip from white paper that is the same width as the paper roll. Wrap your paper roll with the white paper, and glue to hold in place. Next, draw eyes and a mouth with a black marker, then add a nose with an orange marker. Cut your pipe cleaner to fit onto the top of the paper roll in a curved shape, creating ear muffs. Glue in place, then add a pom pom on each end and let it dry. Wrap a piece of pipe cleaner around your paper roll, just under the mouth, creating a scarf. Next, add some buttons with a marker, and enjoy your adorable paper roll snowman!

Paper Penguin Materials: Black, orange, and white paper, googly eyes, glue, scissors, and paper clips.

Cut two strips from black paper, one slightly wider than the other but both the same length. Apply glue on one end of the paper strips, roll the other end to meet the glued end, and allow some time for it to dry. Paperclips will help to hold the paper in place while the glue sets. The smaller roll will be the penguin’s head. Glue on two eyes. Cut a triangle shape from orange paper, then glue it on the head, just under the eyes. The larger roll will be the body. Cut a U-shape out of white paper that is just a little bit thinner than the body’s width. Glue this onto the body of the paper penguin. Next, glue the head onto the body, using paper clips to help the glue set, once again. From white paper, cut a curvy shape to use as the base of “ice”. Cut some penguin feet from orange paper and glue them on top of the white base. To finish the penguin, glue it onto the base, with the feet sticking out enough to see them. The kids will surely giggle at the little bounce the penguin makes when you move it around!

FOR KIDS

Snowy Scene Materials: Black, yellow, and several other colors of your choice of construction paper, white paint, scissors, and glue.

Cut various rectangle and square shapes out from different colors of construction paper. Glue these shapes onto a piece of black paper, creating a line of houses for your snowy scene. Cut out various roof shapes to match your houses, and glue these to the tops. Cut a couple of thin strips from yellow paper, then have your child carefully cut these into pieces that will be the windows of your houses. Your kids can place the windows where they want them, then you can glue them in place. They may cut a lot more pieces than what would be realistic, but remember, this is a fantasy snowy scene. The more windows and crazy shapes, the merrier! Next, have your kids dip their finger tips into some white paint, and dot around the black paper above and around the houses. Now there is snow, which finishes your snowy scene to display with pride. Add any other winter elements, like snowmen or trees, if you’d like to.

Welcome, Baby Lucy The Best Laid Plans Meet Real Life

BY KATIE DANIEL, FOR AVERA HEALTH

I

love to make plans. So you can bet that during the nine months leading up to the birth of our first child, I spent a good amount of time researching and planning my ideal labor and delivery experience. My husband and I even took the time to write out our birth preferences with the help of our doula.

My hope was to have as natural of a labor and delivery as possible. I wanted to experience birth to the full and trusted that my body could do it. Have I mentioned that I tend to be an overly optimistic person?

Thankfully, my sister gave me wise advice to hold those plans loosely â&#x20AC;&#x201C; knowing that the ultimate goal was the safe delivery of a healthy baby.

PARENTING & PREGNANCY

Yes, agreed!

So I held on to both that goal and my hopes.

During one of my prenatal appointments, I talked about my birth preferences with my Avera OB/GYN specialist. She reassured me that they would do their best to honor my wishes, while doing what was needed to keep me and our little one as safe and healthy as possible. She had been my OB/GYN for over a decade so I had complete trust in her.

At my 39-week appointment, I mentioned that our little one had been moving less than usual. After monitoring the heart rate, my doctor recommended inducing labor to be on the safe side. My heart sank and leapt all in the same moment. On one hand, I had

“I’m continuing to learn that I can have my hopes and make my plans, but I should always hold them loosely, be willing to adjust and trust others to help us raise our sweet baby girl” hoped to go into labor naturally. On the other hand, I was thrilled at the thought of meeting our little one soon!

My doctor knew what was best. I trusted her more than my own plans. So I set them aside and off to the labor and delivery unit we went.

I was induced at around noon. Shortly afterwards, the nurse came in and noted that my contractions were coming too quickly for our little one. We would need to reverse the induction immediately.

Again, I was struck with mixed emotions. On one hand, I was disappointed because the reversal would likely mean a long wait.

My body would need to start the process on its own now. On the other hand, I was excited and hopeful that we could try for a natural delivery.

So we waited – anxiously, excitedly and full of hope.

Much to our surprise, contractions started back up with fierce intensity around 10 p.m. With the help of my husband, our doula and nurse, I started working through them. There came a point – as many people said there would – when I decided my plan was no longer a good plan. I needed an epidural!

It was too late for an epidural, but my wonderful care team

reassured me that my body could do it and that we were so close to her arrival.

Once pushing began, there were times that I didn’t know if I could push any longer, but my husband, doula, nurse and doctor cheered me on.

And by 2 a.m., our little Lucy arrived into the world! It was the most incredible experience and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

As I hold Lucy and think back on that exciting and life-changing day, I‘m so thankful for the wonderful care we received as we brought her into the world.

We’re privileged to be able to receive the kind of care that Avera offers. I’m thankful that every step of the way – from prenatal care, to labor and delivery, to lactation consultations and now pediatric care – I have felt comfortable and confident, trusting their expertise and knowing that we are in such good hands.

Now that Lucy is almost 1 year old, I’m continuing to learn that I can have my hopes and make my plans, but I should always hold them loosely, be willing to adjust and trust others to help us raise our sweet baby girl.

And whether or not things go as planned, I have so much to be thankful for.

I, Cosmo

by Carlie Sorosiak Ever since Cosmo became a big brother to Max ten years ago, he’s known what his job was: to protect his boy and make him happy. Through many good years marked by tennis balls and pilfered turkey, torn-up toilet paper and fragrant goose poop, Cosmo has doggedly kept his vow.

Until recently, his biggest problems were the evil tutu-wearing sheepdog he met on Halloween and the arthritis in his own joints. But now, with Dad-scented blankets appearing on the couch and arguing voices getting louder, Cosmo senses a tougher challenge ahead.

In this celebration of cultural traditions passed from one generation to the next, Jacqueline Alcántara’s lush illustrations bring to life both Belle’s story and the story of the Haitian Revolution.
