December Weather – 2023
Here are the views during December at our property in Alton. Unfortunately, its still just stakes in the ground marking where the house will be. We’ve had to fix a few as the deer didn’t seem to like them. Hogan Haake

We put up a camera to watch our property as it changes. Its just weather going on, but there is something awesome about watching multiple days in a very short time. Hogan Haake
Its been a while since I’ve done anything crazy with my hair. Several years since its been dyed and my last (and sadly only Mohawk) was in 2006. I had a beard and decided to try something ridiculous. What could be better than mutton chops? Here ya go, laugh it up! It seems to work … Continue reading “Hogan’s Chops – 12/13/2024”
Christmas is coming up and I promised my sister, Hannah, that I would work on some plumbing and electrical issues at her house while I stayed there. I knew the visit would be limited in time, so I thought a scouting visit would be a great idea. Lucky for me, Danelle and Sonora joined me … Continue reading “Kansas City Visit – 12/2/2024”
It seems like the cats find their way into every photo. Sometimes all three! A random photo of Corvin when he was home for Thanksgiving. I’m not sure what Sonora was doing here, but she sure looks proud of herself. Probably cause she has on my flannel shirt. Only a parent will understand the joy … Continue reading “November – 2023”
Thanksgiving began on Wednesday early for me. I drove up to Wisconsin to pick up Corvin and bring him back home for a quick weekend in St. Louis. It was worth it to see him and have him home. We got home late and went to bed as we had to be up early Thanksgiving … Continue reading “Thanksgiving – 2023”
A few months prior, I was invited to a house concert by my buddy Mark Fish. I didn’t know what to expect but was excited to experience something new. Mark has an amazing condo in the Benton Park area of St. Louis that used to be a school. His place has huge ceilings with plenty … Continue reading “Aaron English – 11/12/2023”
Sonora was going to the winter formal this year with a bunch of friends. The first step is finding a suitable dress. There were many more than the image below shows, but you get the feel of what she was thinking. She ultimately picked a pretty blue dress! Finally she was off with a fun … Continue reading “Sonora’s Winter Formal – 11/5/2023”
Another month and getting ready for the cold of winter approaching. Maybe just one more day of shorts and long sleeves… The cats are a constant part of our life and Gimli is sometimes a little too involved. He decided to re-arrange some of the plants behind the sink. He may think its revenge for … Continue reading “October – 2023”
We’ve decided to put an orchard on the property where we are building the house. We won’t be planting any trees until we get water to the property, but there is plenty of brush clearing to do until then. There is also a large branch on an oak tree that reaches into the orchard area … Continue reading “Clearing the Orchard – 12/3/2023”
