Hannah came in for a few days during her spring break to hang out with us. Here are some highlights of her visit. Danelle picked her up from the Amtrak bus (as the tracks were flooded out). From there, they went straight downtown to get photos. With pictures and food out of the way, there … Continue reading “Hannah Weekend – 3/22/2019”
We took a family weekend to Memphis, TN. We started early Saturday morning and took our new ’07 Camry Hybrid. The kids love this car because of the sun roof and maybe the leather seats. We had a few ideas of what we wanted to see. During the drive, Danelle used the Internet on her … Continue reading “Memphis Weekend – 3/16/2019”
As my kids get older, I realize what an effort it is to be a family. Everybody has their own agenda and events that are important to them.

Corvin plays the bass in the Webster Groves High School Orchestra. This is the first concert of the year. He had to get all dressed up and appears sharp! We did our best to find good seats where we could see Corvin, but its hard when he is in the back. Before the concert, there … Continue reading “Webster Groves High School Orchestra – 12/4/2018”
Re-posted from Danelle’s Science Blog. I’ve added some extra photos at the bottom. Winter Field Work Since my research is on winter use of road salt, much of my field work has been completed in the winter. I’ve spent days climbing down storm drains to learn about municipal salt use. This year, the Wednesday before … Continue reading “Ph.D Sampling – 11/21/2018”

Don bought land trying to create a place the size of Central Park in New York City. Don Robinson is 800 acres while Central Park is slightly bigger. The hiking trails are supposed to be good … Continue reading “Don Robinson With Danelle – 11/18/2018”
