Fat Tuesday – 2.12.2012
We decided to celebrate Fat Tuesday New Orleans style this year. We had some biegnet mix in the pantry and decided to give it a try. Danelle did all of the mixing and made a mess of it! The mix was super doughy and had to have extra flower to make it usable. Of course, … Continue reading “Fat Tuesday – 2.12.2012”
Saint Louis Boat Show – 2.11.12
One of the best things about a cold winter day is finding a nice warm indoor activity. With a bit of luck, I convinced Danelle and the kids to join me for the show. We parked and walked a few blocks to get into the show at the America’s Center. Like a bad parent, I … Continue reading “Saint Louis Boat Show – 2.11.12”

January – 2012
Another winter month completed. One of the things that l like to do in winter months is run a pot of water on the stove to keep the house humidified. I decided it was time to purchase a kettle just for this purpose. After bringing it home and boiling water in it for a few … Continue reading “January – 2012”
Pinewood Derby – 1.28.2012
Corvin and family participated in this year’s Pinewood Derby. Corvin had a car, and Danelle (plus Sonora) had our family car. Neither car was a superstar, but as always we had a good time.

Shaw Hike 1.1.12
We started off this year with a very brisk hike at Shaw Nature Preserve. We spent quite a while out there, but only went for two miles. I ended up carrying Sonora a fair bit to help speed things up. It probably didn’t help that it was very cold outside!
December 2011
The kids are getting huge, but also more adorable. Sonora is cute as a button and still cuddles with her parents! We went to a baby shower for Kurt and Mandy that was family and man friendly. We’re excited to see their little one that is due soon. One of their family members is a … Continue reading “December 2011”
New Years Eve 2011
In a tradition going back to at least 1999, we spent New Years Eve with Kelly, Jeff and family. True to myself, odd [numbered] years are when we host them, and even numbered years we go to wherever Kelly and Jeff are living. First, we should introduce the players! Brian and Kelly, Kelly and Jeff … Continue reading “New Years Eve 2011”
Christmas in STL – 12.25.2011
What kid wouldn’t want to have Christmas twice. We came back to St. Louis to have the official Christmas at home. This year, Santa brought Angry Birds shirts for the kids and mom and dad. I didn’t get a photo of all four of us in our new shirts, but we’re now an “Angry Family”. … Continue reading “Christmas in STL – 12.25.2011”
