Football in Springfield – 1/17/2025
Our year started off in Argentina. We’ve spent a ton of times with the kids and now our schedule is letting up some. Our favorite football team, KC Chiefs, are in the playoffs. Sonora was sounding a bit lonely and we decided to surprise her. We drove down to Springfield to pick her up and … Continue reading “Football in Springfield – 1/17/2025”
Christmas – 12/22/2024
It feels like Christmas to Danelle and I when both of the kids are home. We’re going to Argentina tomorrow, so we need to do our celebrating today. Okay, and a large amount of packing as well. Corvin flew in today and he’s quite happy to see the cats again. We took Carol out for … Continue reading “Christmas – 12/22/2024”
November – 2024
It was a pretty chill month. This might come as a shock, but the cats were entertaining. Gimli playing in a bag of bags. Danelle purchased two fruit trees. I think a key lime and a lemon tree. Here is her little lemon supported on a cup so the tree doesn’t fall over from the … Continue reading “November – 2024”
Pre Thanksgiving – 11/23/2024
Holidays technically happen on specific days. But sometimes you can’t make that work. In our case, we couldn’t get to Kansas City for Thanksgiving this year. Dad is always happy to host and have his kids in town! We didn’t waste any time getting in the kitchen to make a fancy dinner. The meal was … Continue reading “Pre Thanksgiving – 11/23/2024”
A visit to Springfield – 11/16/24
Keeping in touch with old friends is a lot of fun, especially when it turns into a giant sleepover! Danelle traveled to Springfield, collected Sonora, and finished the trip to Michael’s house and family farm for a weekend getaway. Among our many activities was practicing being cattle – err, taking a walk around the old … Continue reading “A visit to Springfield – 11/16/24”
Visiting Corvin – 11/9/2024
Danelle and I finally had the chance to get up and visit Corvin together. We’ve been empty nesters since we took Sonora to school back in August, but that doesn’t mean that we have nothing to do. Between our full schedule and Corvin’s its nearly two months since we were able to visit him together. … Continue reading “Visiting Corvin – 11/9/2024”
Replacing Kitchen Counters – 11/4/2024
We decided to replace our 19 year old kitchen counters. We’re building a new house and our realtor said its an important update for selling. Instead of just installing when we move, we wanted to enjoy the countertop for a while before the move. This also gives us a chance to live with it for … Continue reading “Replacing Kitchen Counters – 11/4/2024”
November River Camping – 11/1/2024
I love having an active paddling group. While we’re often connected by racing, we also just have a love for outdoors. Mark organized a weekend camping trip. Danelle seemed excited so we decided to load up the boat and make room to help others. We were off to the river! The general plan was that … Continue reading “November River Camping – 11/1/2024”
October 2024
October is for cats. At least in our house. Gimli loves being in his triangle. We had some lovely sunset races at the lake. Stinks that the season is winding down. My office moved after nearly 12 years to a different floor. This is me saying goodbye to the space. With moving, we got some … Continue reading “October 2024”
