It wouldn’t be a monthly recap without at least one cat photo. Sushi being held by Coty. We’re still not sure if Drew is trying to listen to anything else or just happened to have headphones on. We made it out to a local bar for a Stl. Blues game. And if you need to … Continue reading “November – 2022”
We left early on Wednesday 11/23 headed up north. Danelle and I decided that we would rent an Airbnb for a few nights. It probably would have been cheaper to fly Corvin home for a few days, but then the kids would all want to go hang out with their friends. This would make them … Continue reading “Thanksgiving In Wisconsin – 11/23/2022”
Jo Jo hosted her second Friendsgiving at her funky warehouse/studio. Several of her close friends were invited. Its an amazing collection of food from all of the friends. We brought along two loaves of our fresh bread to share. Coty came along with us, although she and Sonora were going to leave early for another … Continue reading “Friendsgiving 2023”
We picked up tickets for the St. Louis Symphony’s youth orchestra. Sonora loves to go and its a great excuse to get out. Laura met us at The Fountain on Locust for lunch. The food menu is just meh, but that isn’t what they are known for. They have a HUGE collection of ice cream … Continue reading “Youth Orchestra – 11/13/2022”
Coty finished softball season and went straight into practice for the school musical, Grease. She landed the role of an extra, but it was a lot of work. She played several different roles and had to do several dance numbers! See her below with a mustache dancing with the guys. Being an extra doesn’t mean … Continue reading “Grease – 11/12/2023”
Another amazing Sunset Race is in the books.We had warm weather that made it easy to paddle. You’re looking at a very bright moon and Blake paddling. Looking at the back of the boat, I’m trying to keep us straight. What a perfect way to spend the evening. Come visit us on the second Thursday … Continue reading “Sunset Race – 11/11/2023”
The Friendship Dance is like homecoming, but combined Webster Groves and Kirkwood high schools together. Coty and Sonora were both going to the dance. The plan was all of us to go to Danelle’s Parents house in Kirkwood. Drew would pick up the girls and they would go to dinner and the dance from there. … Continue reading “Friendship Dance – 11/5/2022”
Sushi is our cat star of the month. She’s claiming us. First with paws over Danelle. Then Sonora. Poor Drew, he sat still too long and Sonora braided his hair. Coty looked for Halloween costume ideas at GoodWill with me. I did some unicycling on Grant’s Trail. I also managed to patch a tire on … Continue reading “October – 2023”
Halloween is here and Coty wanted to dress up and go out. Sonora already had plans, but that wasn’t going to be a problem. First order of business was to dress up as a hippie and go to school. We kept meaning to carve a pumpkin, but hadn’t done it. So Coty carved her first … Continue reading “Halloween – 10/31/2022”
In preparation for the Friendship Dance (the local version of Homecoming), I took Coty and Sonora shopping for dresses to wear to the dance. The prices were pretty reasonable, so Coty ended up getting two dresses. These will hopefully be useful both for dances here and when she gets back home. Sonora had trouble choosing … Continue reading “All Dressed Up – 10/29/2022”
