While I was out enjoying the 8th Annual Mopar Ride, Danelle and the kids were at home working hard. Corvin had been asking us for a while to get rid of his bunk bed. He wanted something else. We had a queen size mattress that wasn’t being used. So we kept talking about making the … Continue reading “Room Redecorating – 5/20/2012”
We [the kids and I] were shopping at Sam’s club without mom. It seems that all good stories start this way because dad is a sucker for spending money that we maybe should not have. Maybe its also my way into bribing the kids to spend more time with me instead of video games. At … Continue reading “Backyard Pool – 5/19/2012”
Corvin played baseball for the first time this year. Skill wise, he was in the middle of the pack. I’ll have to work with him on batting in the back yard to help him out, but he sure had fun! One of his favorite positions to play is catcher. They had a pitching machine this … Continue reading “Corvin Playing Baseball – 5/16/12”
Sonora wanted to have her birthday at her favorite place, Hammer’s (Formerly Incredible Pizza Company). The four of us went on Tuesday after work. It wasn’t too busy. Somehow our game cards got an hour of unlimited playing, due to a glitch in the system. So we made the most of it and played as … Continue reading “Sonora’s 6th Birthday – 5/15/2012”
Danelle planted several strawberry plants this year around the house. Unfortunately, it takes a year before they truly start producing, so we would have to get our strawberries somewhere else. Of course, the weather the past winter was quite mild and the summer started off strong and quite warm. When we called around to the … Continue reading “Strawberry Madness – 5.12”
The garden is in full swing with part of the crop getting planted last month and the crop of garlic getting ready to be harvested. Danelle is working hard as ever to produce a viable garden. I’m proud of her for the work she puts into it. Its hard to appreciate a grocery store until … Continue reading “April 2012”
I have to say that being married to Danelle is one of the best things that ever happened to me. Her companionship and knowledge has enriched my life. Because of this, I’m extremely excited to be part of Brian and Kelly’s first anniversary. The plan was to go out to eat at a local pizza … Continue reading “Brian and Kelly’s First Anniversary – 4/27/12”
Corvin received his First Communion. This is him standing up next to the banner he made. We came back to the house and had a small gathering.
We spent an afternoon with Steve and Nathan just catching up. Now that Steve lives a bit farther away than next door, I don’t see him as much. And Nathan is growing up so fast! After driving them around for a while, we ended up at Danelle’s parent’s house. It was a pleasant afternoon of … Continue reading “Steve and Nathan – 4/15/12”
We made the difficult choice to stay in St. Louis for Easter this year. Having family out of town always makes the holidays a difficult choice. There is always the pull to enjoy the comforts of home, while still seeing your loved ones. The weather was great and we enjoyed two Easter Egg hunts. One … Continue reading “Easter 4.8.12”
