We went out to Danforth for the afternoon to play and burn. Currently what we’re doing out there feels more like playing than anything else. You can see Danelle putting a marshmallow on a stick if that tells you the type of fun we’re having. Some might say its not all fun and games, unless … Continue reading “Danforth – 2/26/2023”
Lets get the cat photos out of the way first. Coatrack finished up the dip for us. Coty has decided Sushi is her favorite. We’re having fun being silly with Coty. Here she is getting ice cream. The girls are staying warm on the couch. And more couch time. Sonora is either sitting on the … Continue reading “January 2023”
Sonora and Coty both went to the “Blizzard Ball” or Winter Formal at the Webster Groves High School this year. Here is Sonora with her super tall date, Drew. Coty and Sonora, my “twins”. That was about as much time as I could get out of them before they had better things to do than … Continue reading “Winter Formal – 1/28/2023”
Sonora and her classmates in the Statesman String Ensemble were selected to perform at the Missouri Music Educators Association conference. This multi-day event was held at Lake of the Ozarks.

One of the first things you do when you live in St. Louis and have a visitor come into town is take them to The Gateway Arch. It might even be a law, but I’ll have to look into that and get back to you. Either way, Coty has been with us four months and … Continue reading “Arch Day – 1/2/2023”
I must be going soft. I used to never buy flowers for Danelle. But I sprung for several roses. I try to take a lunch walk every day that I’m working from home. Often, I can even convince Danelle to walk with me. One of the highlights of our walk is spotting the birds (I … Continue reading “December – 2022”
The kids (Sonora, Coty, and Eva) and I went to the City Museum today while Hogan worked. We met with Drew (Sonora’s boyfriend), his parents, and several of the kids’ friends for a total of 12-15 people in our group. Many in the group have passes to get in and were able to get the … Continue reading “Kids To The City Museum – 12/30/2022”
Its an annual tradition that Tilles Park decorates the whole park into a winter wonderland. There are options to walk, drive, or horse drawn carriage through the park. Surprisingly, the walking tickets (which are limited) sell out very fast. We choose to make a night of it and take the horse drawn carriage through the … Continue reading “Tilles Park Carriage Ride”
We left early for Kansas City on Christmas Day. So early in fact that the kids decided to sleep just a bit more. Danelle was kind enough to stay awake with me while I drove. Once we got to KC, the kids were well rested and we went about hanging around the house. My sister … Continue reading “Christmas in KC – 12/25/2022”
