While Danelle and the kids were at the St. Louis Cardinals Game, Jo and I were on the Meramec river training for the MR340. Of course, this was an equipment test, more than an endurance run. We paddled approximately 4 miles downstream to the Meramec Marina. There, Jo and I tied up the boat to … Continue reading “Meramec River Training Run – 6/19/2014”
As part of the baseball league that Corvin was in, his team was invited to walk the outside of the St. Louis Cardinals field before a game. The kids are always excited to see the game from the player’s perspective! Hogan Haake
The kids always want to go to the pool. I should make it a point to take them more often as they have a bunch of fun. Ok, I might even have fun myself.

The … Continue reading “St. Louis Cardinals Game with Byron and Christy – 6/1/2014”

I was already out with friends for the morning, so after talking with Dale, it didn’t sound like we were going to meet up and fly. We agreed that … Continue reading “Flying in a 1946 Piper Cub – 10/19/2014”
I caught Sonora practicing her ballet at home, she looks so cute! No, this isn’t a visit to a doctor’s office… I played a prank on a co-worker today. Drew with dry erase markers on the glass over her kid’s photos. Hogan Haake
We decided to go on a multi-family hike with the Brown family. We started off meeting at their house and caravaning down to Mastodon State Park. The park is about 45 minutes south of where we live in St. Louis. For the drive down, I volunteered to have all the kids in our van and … Continue reading “Hike with the Browns – 5/25/2014”
Mark and Sonora have birthdays close together, so Brian and Kelly hosted a shared family birthday party to celebrate. They had BBQ in their back yard. We entertained ourselves with games in the back yard. When it got dark, it was time for serious business, presents and cake! I would think that my kids … Continue reading “Mark and Sonora’s Birthdays – 5/24/2014”
