Photo of the Day: Go…Chiefs!

Possibly the most anticipated NFL game of the season, at least in my neck of the woods, is tonight’s Chiefs vs. Broncos game! My husband and I had the unique opportunity to tour Arrowhead Stadium last week. Ironically, the tours are a lot more popular this year than in years past. 🙂 Did you know the Arrowhead logo on the locker room floor has been there since the 70s, and it’s bad luck to step on it? As you can see, it’s still perfectly white.

Photo of the Day: Date Night at the Corn Maze

A couple of weeks ago my husband and I had a rare, fun evening date at the Liberty Corn Maze. Their mazes are amazing – five different mazes form a really intricate design – this year was the Kansas City WWI Museum. Four of them are over 2.5 miles long! We had a lot of fun finding the checkpoints throughout three of the four mazes.

A side note … this week we had a date night at our local library, watching Charles Dickens’ great-great grandson perform A Christmas Carol! Not only was the performance top-notch, but it was free. As infrequently as we do it, unique date nights are really key to keeping a relationship strong.

Photo of the Day: Big Brother

While visiting baby Addison in the hospital this weekend, we were thoroughly entertained by big brother Colton. He was having a good time running and jumping around the room, hiding in the curtain, and most importantly – playing on his parents’ iPad. He may only be 20 months old, but he’s probably better at it than I am! See how he’s changed in the blog posts below.

Photo of the Day: Thank You, Veterans

I want to take a moment to say “thank you” to veterans nationwide. Thank you to those serving now. Thank you to those who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan and all over the world. Thank you to my grandfathers, who both served in WWII. We shouldn’t wait until Veteran’s Day to say thank you, because you defend us every single day. So I apologize for not saying it often enough. Thank you and God bless you.

My grandfather, R. Gordon Haffa, on leave from WWII. Passed away October 2001.
My grandfather, Vernon Davison, with his new bride Nadine, shortly after WWII. Passed away February 2011.

Pretty good looking guys, huh? I miss them both so much.

Photo of the Day: I Can Keep Going…

I hope you aren’t getting tired of seeing the fall leaves from our hike at Weston Bend State Park this weekend. They may all have the same brilliant colors, but each photo is so different I just couldn’t narrow them down. Just a couple more days, I promise. And if you missed the other posts, here they are.
