Corvin and Sonora were playing in the Symphonic Orchestra tonight. Danelle and I went out to see them play. Corvin is the standing bass player on the left. Sonora plays in the front, therefore its much easier to zoom in on her. The kids played a lovely concert that you can watch below if you’re … Continue reading “Webster Groves High School Symphonic Orchestra – 12/7/2021”
My sister Hannah purchased her first house this year. We figured the best way to help her celebrate the new house was to invade for a holiday. So without further adieu, we set out to drive to Ottawa Kansas (about an hour south of Kansas City) for Thanksgiving. Of course we called first, but here … Continue reading “Thanksgiving At Hannah’s House – 11/25/2021”
I’m not sure what got into me, but I decided to do some tree trimming. I cut down some branches trying to keep the trees around the house under control and away from things like power lines. While I spent lots of time outside, Danelle was busy working on one of her jeans quilts. This … Continue reading “October – 2021”
Both the kids were going to the Friendship Dance this year. Neither had dates and were just going with their friends to hang out. Here is a quick glimpse into their night. First Corvin spent some time getting ready and didn’t want to get his fancy clothes dirty while he was preparing. Sonora and her … Continue reading “Friendship Dance – 10/8/2021”
August has come and gone. Some of our random stuff. Corvin Sonora Kids being silly! I met another unicyclist on Grant’s Trail! I walked from my house downtown to the arch. Was a 14 some mile day 🙂 We met Laura downtown for dinner. And sorry to disappoint, but no cat photos!

Sometimes its just not working and other times, you get the heck out of your normal surroundings and life a temporary but different life. This year, we had trouble deciding what we were going to do. Initially I wanted to do a trip … Continue reading “Summer Vacation – 2021”
When I think of Father’s Day, I like to think of a relaxing day doing whatever nothing I want and the kids leave me alone. Yeah, not very fatherly of me… And the kids wanted to treat me (meaning they said where I go and I pay). Therefore, we started off at a bowling alley. … Continue reading “Father’s Day – 6/20/2021”
We love home made strawberry jelly. We’ve made it before, but its been a few years. We recently went to a strawberry patch to pick them, but we were too late in the season. We purchased what strawberries they had left and brought them home. Then we invited Danelle’s parents over to help us make … Continue reading “Strawberry Syrup – 6/6/2021”
I’m not sure what prompts Corvin to do this, but he still randomly runs and jumps on my back. We were playing a round of disc golf this time. I’m glad I’m fit enough to still carry him and enjoy it. Danelle managed to capture this madness! Danelle very much enjoys the company of our … Continue reading “May 2021”
We purchased a chipper to help get rid of wood waste that we cut down on our new property. As an added bonus, we could use the chips as mulch and never have to purchase mulch again. First, a view of the area that we cleared out. It won’t look like much, but there were … Continue reading “We Got A Chipper – 5/8/2021”
