It seems like all we do when its cold is hang out with our cats. What did we do before cats? Sonora went dress shopping. I took Danelle for a walk and she modeled this lovely bouy. Hogan Haake

January 2022
Danelle continues to poke fun of me for my old man eye sight. I need more like than I used to for reading in bed. I’ve taken to putting a light on my chin to face the book. I put the book upside down for the photo, its semi-staged. Always cat photos! Ohh look, a … Continue reading “January 2022”
Fults Prairie Hike – 2/12/2022
Fults Prairie is a wonderful place to hike that is approximately 90 minutes from our house in Illinois. Its located near the Mississippi river, but is up on the bluff area. Its been around 10 years since we were last here. Danelle and I wanted to get out of the house and the kids were … Continue reading “Fults Prairie Hike – 2/12/2022”
Sonora Foot Wrapping – 1/23/2022
Sonora is taking an athletic training class. Part of that class is learning how to wrap an athlete’s foot for added strength. The only way to get better at something is to practice. So she comes home at night and wraps Danelle’s foot. She says mine smell to bad to practice on. Hogan Haake

As an added bonus, Herman came in … Continue reading “Christmas in Kansas City – 12/25/2021”

November 2021
Like nearly every month, we spend way too much time with our cats. Of course, this photo of me with Brawndo is staged. Brawndo and Coatrack playing in the kitchen. I’m not sure if he’s practicing playing dead, or just trying to block the heat vent. Danelle and I took a wonderful walk on a … Continue reading “November 2021”
Webster Groves High School Symphonic Orchestra – 12/7/2021
Corvin and Sonora were playing in the Symphonic Orchestra tonight. Danelle and I went out to see them play. Corvin is the standing bass player on the left. Sonora plays in the front, therefore its much easier to zoom in on her. The kids played a lovely concert that you can watch below if you’re … Continue reading “Webster Groves High School Symphonic Orchestra – 12/7/2021”
Thanksgiving At Hannah’s House – 11/25/2021
My sister Hannah purchased her first house this year. We figured the best way to help her celebrate the new house was to invade for a holiday. So without further adieu, we set out to drive to Ottawa Kansas (about an hour south of Kansas City) for Thanksgiving. Of course we called first, but here … Continue reading “Thanksgiving At Hannah’s House – 11/25/2021”
