Fireman Grayson
I didn’t get to go along on this adventure, but Grayson and Mrs. Shoo went with the Mom’s Club to the Chatham Fire Department. Looks like they had fun.

Magic House
Needing an excuse to get out of the house and cash in a coupon for REI (sports/bike store), I took the family down to the St. Louis Magic House. I told Grayson before we left that we were going to the Magic House and they have fun things for little boys and girls to do.…

2013 – A Year In Review
2013 was a good year for the Shoo family. Sarah and I ran a half marathon. My first. Her 2nd. Note: This is from a 10k. When you’re tired and sweaty, you forget to take group photos. And then Sarah kept running. And running. And running. Still running. We had an epic vacation to Kauai,…

Before the broken leg
Before Grayson and I toppled over the front steps we made it out this weekend to Pasfield for a couple runs down the small hill. He loved most of it. Not a fan of going up the hill, but loved going down. Love it even more when mom and dad had a snow ball fight.

Rides Great
I haven’t gotten to do much trail riding this year. When I finally got the bike out a couple of weeks ago, the hanger that holds the rear derailleur (the device that switches the gears) snapped off. That was a mile and a half walk back. After a visit to Amazon and a new part,…

Hello Fall.
First of all, I was planning on getting some pictures of Grayson with the fall foliage, but he was gun-ho about feeding the ducks. The boy has as much coordination as his father. With a big chuck of oyster crackers he toppled over into the Washington Park pond. Lucky, it was just the…

Remembering Summer
Scrolling through photos that I took over the summer. Found a few that didn’t make the blog. Here’s Grayson playing in the backyard with a sprinkler. He love it.
