A month with cats is an incomplete month. Brawndo looks outside. And playing in the laundry. Eric made a visit and got to see how big Brawndo is. And it seems a common theme for me that as spring starts to show up, I get interested in unicycling again. A quick trip out to the … Continue reading “March 2022”
Track season has begun. We were hoping for a nice warm day, but it was not to be. While waiting for Sonora to throw discus, we got some light snow falling on us. Everybody was very cold waiting around for our athletes to compete. Every piece of clothing we could find in the car to … Continue reading “Track Season – 3/31/2022”
Sonora is a very motivated student who puts a lot of effort into her coursework. One of her classes this semester was Athletic Training I. In this class, they focus on the anatomy of the legs, common leg injuries for athletes, and how to treat the lower extremities to prevent injury or promote healing. This … Continue reading “Foot Coloring – 3/30/2022”
It seems like all we do when its cold is hang out with our cats. What did we do before cats? Sonora went dress shopping. I took Danelle for a walk and she modeled this lovely bouy. Hogan Haake
Sonora is taking an athletic training class. Part of that class is learning how to wrap an athlete’s foot for added strength. The only way to get better at something is to practice. So she comes home at night and wraps Danelle’s foot. She says mine smell to bad to practice on. Hogan Haake

As an added bonus, Herman came in … Continue reading “Christmas in Kansas City – 12/25/2021”
The kids played in the Christmas concert this evening. Sonora with her violin. Corvin with the bass and blue mask in the back. And finally the video of the concert. Hogan Haake
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”
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”
