We had a large snow storm hit St. Louis and I decided it would be fun to go out driving in the snow. Corvin was excited to join me as he also wanted to drive in the snow. I picked a decent sized street and started heading west. I had an idea where we might … Continue reading “Snow and the Wrong House! – 1/11/2019”
We celebrated New Years at Kelly and Jeff’s house this year. Jake looks stumped. Somehow I convinced Kelly that the mess wouldn’t be too bad for this party toy… Sonora got Maggie to spend the night, so when we went home, we took Maggie with us. Then Maggie and Sonora went ice skating. Seems like … Continue reading “New Years – 1/1/2019”
Christmas in St. Louis started the day before. We thought the kids would be surprised with a transformation, so we worked to paint and prepare the basement for them. They were not as surprised as we had hoped, but having a new space for them to hang out is good. Painting the wall white is … Continue reading “Christmas in STL – 12/24/2018”

The weather was supposed to turn to rain, … Continue reading “Don Robinson with Corvin – 11/23/2018”
Corvin signed up for the Webster/Kirkwood Turkey Trot this year. Most of his cross country team was participating in the race. I woke up early with him on Thanksgiving and drove down to the start of the race. We got there early expecting parking to be tight, but 45 minutes early means great parking. It … Continue reading “Turkey Trot – 11/22/2018”
Corvin went with Mia to the Friendship Dance. It was held at Kirkwood high school, but Webster Groves students were also invited.
Nothing really sticks out except for Corvin’s Halloween costume. He used the box from our new microwave. I’m not sure exactly what he would say that he was, but it was amusing. And when he wanted to use his phone, he rotated so one of the arms was in front… Hogan Haake
