We’ve been wanting to get Danelle’s parents out to Danforth to hang out with us for a while. We used her dad’s birthday and decent weather as an excuse. We started off by taking them to Panera for lunch. They don’t go out much and this has become their favorite place to eat (when we … Continue reading “Grandpa Henry’s Birthday – 3/5/2023”

We went out to Danforth for the afternoon to play and burn. Currently what we’re doing out there feels more like playing than anything else. You can see Danelle putting a marshmallow on a stick if that tells you the type of fun we’re having. Some might say its not all fun and games, unless … Continue reading “Danforth – 2/26/2023”
We took Coty out to hike at Fort Belle Fontaine. Its a hike we’ve done before and enjoyed a lot. It started out a bit brisk, but warmed up as we went along.

I’m not sure how many times I’ve taken our Oreck XL apart to clean it. Occasionally replacing parts. First, start with getting … Continue reading “Vacuum Repair – 2/7/2023”
Lets get the cat photos out of the way first. Coatrack finished up the dip for us. Coty has decided Sushi is her favorite. We’re having fun being silly with Coty. Here she is getting ice cream. The girls are staying warm on the couch. And more couch time. Sonora is either sitting on the … Continue reading “January 2023”

Its a long drive down gravel roads to get there. Once we hopped out of the car, we … Continue reading “Coty at the confluence – 1/29/2023”
Sonora and Coty both went to the “Blizzard Ball” or Winter Formal at the Webster Groves High School this year. Here is Sonora with her super tall date, Drew. Coty and Sonora, my “twins”. That was about as much time as I could get out of them before they had better things to do than … Continue reading “Winter Formal – 1/28/2023”
Danelle and Sonora aren’t big fans of fish, so it was of no surprise that they don’t want to eat sushi. I’ve never had sushi that didn’t come from a buffet, so I was curious to try it from a restaurant that specializes in it. Coty was curious as well, so off we went. We … Continue reading “Sushi with Coty – 1/27/2023”
