We wanted to get out together before Corvin left for college. The Festival Of Nations in Tower Grove Park was an easy choice. We had gone before and found it a good time. We planned to sample more of the diverse foods there than we had in previous years. With a pocket full of cash, … Continue reading “Festival Of Nations – 8/27/2023”
It was the last day Danelle and I had off before our vacation was over. Sonora was working today, which meant Corvin was up to join us. We decided to go to the Missouri Botanical Garden and walk around. There wasn’t anything specific that we had planned to see. Just spending time together and building … Continue reading “Botanical Garden – 6/13/2023”
A phone call to my sister Hannah had us diverting from home to her house. We would spend the night at Hannah’s house and some time with her. Here she is getting plant advice from Danelle. We walked to the nearby plant store and looked around while Corvin went out running. Ultimately we all ended … Continue reading “Hannah’s House – 6/9/2023”
We started our family vacation this year from Kansas City. We were in town for my mother’s funeral and left the day after. It was the strangest way I’ve ever started a vacation and something I hope never happens again. I remember driving down I-70 just before Topeka, KS when I got a call from … Continue reading “Family Vacation – 6/3/2023”

In the east, my adopted daughter, Coty, was heading home to Argentina after living with us for nearly a year. There was never a doubt how many lives she brightened … Continue reading “Coty At The Airport – 5/29/2023”
When Coty came to the US, she enrolled into high school as a junior. The school made some exceptions and granted her status as a senior. Just her language skills alone would give her that status in my opinion. So today we celebrated Coty graduating from high school! She walked with the senior class. Here … Continue reading “Coty’s Graduation – 5/19/2023”
Corvin came home to St. Louis for spring break. He wanted to see a Battlehawks game with his friends. He was also ready to see us for a bit. Of course, that didn’t mean that he wouldn’t be found on his computer the most 🙂 Coty also has lots of fun with Corvin. Times like … Continue reading “Corvin’s Spring Break in St. Louis – 3/12/2023”
Lets get the cat photos out of the way first. Coatrack finished up the dip for us. Coty has decided Sushi is her favorite. We’re having fun being silly with Coty. Here she is getting ice cream. The girls are staying warm on the couch. And more couch time. Sonora is either sitting on the … Continue reading “January 2023”
Unfortunately for us, winter break was over. That means that Corvin has to go back to school. We were enjoying having him home again. Danelle and I would drive him back and get a hotel, then finish coming back the next day while Sonora and Coty stayed back at the house by themselves. We planned … Continue reading “End of Winter Break – 1/22/2023”
