Corvin plays the bass in the Webster Groves High School Orchestra. This is the first concert of the year. He had to get all dressed up and appears sharp!

Corvin signed up for the Webster/Kirkwood Turkey Trot this year. Most of his cross country team was participating in the race.

Corvin went with Mia to the Friendship Dance. It was held at Kirkwood high school, but Webster Groves students were also invited.
Nothing really sticks out except for Corvin’s Halloween costume. He used the box from our new microwave. I’m not sure exactly what he would say that he was, but it was amusing. And when he wanted to use his phone, he rotated so one of the arms was in front… Hogan Haake
Halloween is one day away and we were making chocolate covered treats for a party. Danelle with some of the normal treats. I decided to have some fun and make some special creepy treats. I started by breaking up some pretzels to get some different shapes, then I made my creepy treats. Hogan Haake
