Christmas 2008
December 25th, 2008 Posted 8:53 PM
Okay, so I’m a little late with these. I think this was the first year Erin got a grasp of the whole Christmas phenomena. She participated in our church’s Christmas play and couldn’t wait until Santa brought her presents on Christmas morning. Santa was good to her this year, but lagged considerably behind the Grandparents. At 10 months old, Colin didn’t quite understand what all the fuss was about, but loved the wrapping paper. He wasn’t into unwrapping as much as Erin, but couldn’t put enough of it in his mouth. Christmas wrapping paper must taste much better than your everyday, run-of-the-mill paper. Anyway, the kids were spoiled again this year. More pics of Christmas morning as well as Erin’s participation in the Christmas Eve Church service after the jump…

Pumpkin Picken with the Deweese’s
October 26th, 2008 Posted 6:00 PM
The Deweese’s made the trek from Edwardsville, Illinois to our house for some Fall festivities. We caravaned to Glencoe to ride the Wabash Frisco and Pacific 12 inch gauge Railroad on their last day of the season. The day was beautiful even though our train broke down at the end of the line. Luckily, another train arrived shortly and towed us back home. The 20 minute round-trip turned into about an hour. From there we headed over the Rombach’s farm to do some pumpkin picken, then back to our house to carve pumpkins and make some s’mores. I think good times where had by all. Hit them jump for a few pics…
Walk Now For Autism

Drew’s Crew
On Saturday, October 11th, we will be walking in the “Walk Now for Autism” at Forest Park. Walk Now for Autism, the nation’s largest grassroots autism walk program, is Autism Speaks’ signature fundraising and awareness event.
We are walking with Drew’s Crew, a co-worker and close friend’s team, Joe and Karen Zimmermann. Their 6 year-old son, Drew, was diagnosed with Autism several years ago. Their dedication and love for Drew is inspiring. Kerry and I are raising money for Drew’s Crew. If you would like to make a donation and sponsor our walk, click on the link below…

Apple Pick’en and the Airshow

Ok, I’m exhausted. We started out the day by heading to Eckert’s Orchard for a little apple pick’en. We ended up picking about 5 pounds of apples (not including the “samples” that we snacked on during our harvest). Even Colin got in on the festivities. After hitting their petting farm, we drove over the Scott Air Force Base to take in the last day of the Airshow. I ate my share of carnie food and got to watch the Air Force’s Thunderbirds perform their maneuvers. Can’t complain about that. More pics after the jump…

Club Placeway, July 4th edition, was another success. The weather was excellent (especially since the last two years it had rained). The kids seemed to enjoy themselves. No one was hurt, which is always a plus. Thanks to everyone who stopped by.
Plenty of pics after the jump…

Four Wheelin’

Kerry’s Brother, Jim, Natalie and the girls made the trek from Florida to St. Louis for the holiday weekend. What better time to break in the new four wheelers Poppe bought! Unfortunately I had to work, but it looked like the girls (and Colin) had a great time. That is, until the “incident.” Someone took a turn a little too sharp, going a little too fast. Fortunately, the only injury was a few bruises. Click on for pics…
