Hello

Our picnic at Drace Park in Des Peres, Missouri

arrow

Personal

Spring is almost here and we were ready to get out of the house this weekend. We decided to have a picnic and check out Drace Park. A park that I’ve been curious about my whole life and we finally explored what it has to offer. We brought a picnic and our stroller, and spent several hours playing and walking around. The park features a log cabin and home that are both beautiful and worth checking out if your in the area of Des Peres. I hope more warm days are coming to St. Louis soon, we are ready to be out and about exploring with our little guy every weekend.

Our trip to Rombach’s Pumpkin Patch in Chesterfield, Missouri

Personal

Our little monkeys first trip to the Pumpkin Patch. The Pumpkin Patch that my family has been going to since I was born. Rombach’s is a part of our autumn as much as Halloween and a family tradition we hate to see end. However Rombach’s has been forced out of their property by the ever growing Chesterfield Valley. What once was a family farm on the outskirts has become in the middle of the now shopping mecca. It’s sad to see such memories fade away and we’re forever grateful we got to share it with Cole.

Our fall family photos at Klondike Park in Augusta, Missouri

Personal

Our little family is still new and looking like a human is far from normal right now. Today we focus on how much we love this little man and we put some actual clothes on to appear like we have it together. It’s still quite bizarre to believe we created such a cute and sweet boy.
