It was a family affair at our house. We had Danelle’s immediate family over for a nice meal. We were all having a great time and the home made bread didn’t last too long! Nobody told Carol that it was just sparkling grape juice in the bottle. We all sat around the sofa watching some … Continue reading “Easter – 3/31/2024”
We decided to take Danelle’s parents out to the property for the day. First stop was to Duke’s Bakery. We got a photo of them at the sign just outside the bakery. With donuts and fond memories, we headed out to the property. The weather was perfect today. We parked ourselves in chairs and proceeded … Continue reading “Danforth With Danelle’s Parents – 3/30/2024”
I’m in my mid forties and I already don’t care too much for my birthday. Not because I’m getting older, but because I’ve already had enough of them. Okay, really cause I have all the stuff that I want. Online shopping has made it too simple to just order whatever you want and have it … Continue reading “Grandpa Henry’s Birthday – 3/4/2024”
We were looking for something to do together on a cold winter day. Our best idea was bowling. To up the ante, we invited Danelle’s parents, Carol and Henry. They had Mark over and we brought them along as well. The whole crew of intrepid bowlers sans myself taking the photo. No worries, my selfie … Continue reading “Bowling – 1/15/2024”
We were thrilled to have Corvin home for winter break. With it being his second year of college and not having Coty around, the time with him was more precious. He didn’t waste any time getting cozy. It also appears the cats missed him too! Henry and Carol got in on the cat love as … Continue reading “December – 2023”
We’ve been wanting to get Danelle’s parents out to Danforth to hang out with us for a while. We used her dad’s birthday and decent weather as an excuse. We started off by taking them to Panera for lunch. They don’t go out much and this has become their favorite place to eat (when we … Continue reading “Grandpa Henry’s Birthday – 3/5/2023”
Nothing like the holidays for pushing you to do the most possible in the least amount of time. Okay, we had a little more time, but I should explain. Corvin was scheduled to take an Amtrak train home from school. Amtrak cancelled the train 5 days in advance due to weather. I’m guessing they don’t … Continue reading “Christmas Eve in St. Louis – 12/24/2022”
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”
Danelle’s parents have been having trouble with their laptops recently. I convinced them to get updated ones. One of the driving reasons was having the same laptop might make it easier to support. If it worked on one, it should always work on the other, right? Here we are setting them up. Hopefully they enjoy … Continue reading “September – 2023”
We visited my (Danelle’s) parents today to celebrate mom’s birthday. One of her favorite desserts is angel food cake, so we made sure she didn’t go without! We spent a lot of time catching them up on recent happenings, and both girls shared photos of the fun things they’d been doing since Coty arrived. Danelle
