Steve and Jackie invited us to see Nathan’s First Communion. Danelle was out of town, but Corvin, Sonora, and I were able to make it. The church was packed with family and we barely got a seat in the balcony. There are not any photos in church, cause that isn’t my style. We met them … Continue reading “Nathan’s First Communion – 5/4/2019”

I’ve been out to Don Robinson State park a few times now, but just had the urge to hike it again. I got the whole family packed up and in the car to go out and hike. It can often be hard to get a family together when they have convenient entertainment like NetFlix and … Continue reading “Family Day – 4/21/2019”
Home repairs are a never ending chore. Sometimes you can wait a bit longer, but eventually maintenance is just required. We’ve been in our house for 13 years now and got it new.

Sonora sneaking … Continue reading “A Date For Bowling – 4/17/2019”

Corvin had a track meet at Kirkwood High School. His grandparents live a few blocks from the school. We parked the car at their house and walked back to the house. For this meet he was in the first (4x800m), middle (1600m), and last (3200m) events. That meant that we would be there for the … Continue reading “Kirkwood Track Meet – 3/27/2019”
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. But Henry and Carol do a great job inviting us to come over and hang out. And they are always fun events! The excess dessert is also … Continue reading “Game Night – 3/9/2019”
Henry postponed moving into his new house twice for weather and this was the last straw. He was moving on Sunday cause he had the day off and some friends lined up. I was invited, but across the state. On a whim, I decided the weather stunk in St. Louis and decided to help Henry … Continue reading “Helping Henry Move – 3/2/2019”
