We wanted to do a family event while Corvin was in town over winter break. Of course its cold out so there are not tons of things that we can do out of the house. Of course the kids really like skating. We decided to go out roller skating. The plan was just the 5 … Continue reading “Roller Skating – 1/8/2023”
One of the first things you do when you live in St. Louis and have a visitor come into town is take them to The Gateway Arch. It might even be a law, but I’ll have to look into that and get back to you. Either way, Coty has been with us four months and … Continue reading “Arch Day – 1/2/2023”
Its an annual tradition that Tilles Park decorates the whole park into a winter wonderland. There are options to walk, drive, or horse drawn carriage through the park. Surprisingly, the walking tickets (which are limited) sell out very fast. We choose to make a night of it and take the horse drawn carriage through the … Continue reading “Tilles Park Carriage Ride”
We left early for Kansas City on Christmas Day. So early in fact that the kids decided to sleep just a bit more. Danelle was kind enough to stay awake with me while I drove. Once we got to KC, the kids were well rested and we went about hanging around the house. My sister … Continue reading “Christmas in KC – 12/25/2022”
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”
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”
Corvin has been gone for about a month at school now. We’ve talked to him a few times, but mostly he is just away doing his thing. For his birthday, I was coming up to Wisconsin to see him and take him to his first NFL game. It started off Friday evening after work. I … Continue reading “Corvin’s Birthday – 10/8/2022”
Its been a long summer with lots of things going on. We had Coty arrive and now its time to send Corvin away to college. All of Corvin’s friends have already left for college and he has nobody local to hang around with. He was ready to leave. Friday afternoon, we picked up a rental … Continue reading “Move In – 9/3/2022”
School dance season is coming up and Sonora was getting ready, but maybe not. I don’t know what was going on with the kids here, but they were getting along wonderfully with lots of laughter. In anticipation of my upcoming motorcycle ride, I wanted to get some seat time. Turns out that the ferry to … Continue reading “August – 2023”
Like too many nights, we didn’t want to cook dinner. It was almost time to take Corvin to college and we just wanted a relaxing time together. Sonora picked Panera (St. Louis Bread Company) for dinner. We went out to get our food. The kids are getting along fantastic and we’re having wonderful conversation. Sonora … Continue reading “Dinner And Pizza – 8/30/2022”
