The crowd filled up fast. Like any good parent, we’re always looking for our kids. Elizabeth Bacon is looking for her family. … Continue reading “Corvin’s High School Graduation – 5/24/2022”
This is Corvin’s last track awards. While its a bit sad, he had a decent high school career. Okay, except for 2 years of Covid and some injuries. Just the same, we’re proud of what Corvin and Sonora accomplished. First some words from the coaches. Corvin and his buddies Sonora and her throwing ladies Hogan … Continue reading “Track Awards – 5/20/2022”
Sonora has a birthday tradition where her grandparents from Kansas City come in town and visit. This weekend also included a track meet a ways away, so we offered for the grandparents to skip if they didn’t want to go to the track meet.

We packed up and headed to Kansas City for Christmas this year. We’ve gotten worse at planning, but my parents didn’t mind the last minute surprise. I texted my dad this photo right before we came in the front door. Did I mention the weather seemed extra warm? As an added bonus, Herman came in … Continue reading “Christmas in Kansas City – 12/25/2021”

Like nearly every month, we spend way too much time with our cats. Of course, this photo of me with Brawndo is staged. Brawndo and Coatrack playing in the kitchen. I’m not sure if he’s practicing playing dead, or just trying to block the heat vent. Danelle and I took a wonderful walk on a … Continue reading “November 2021”
