A Cerney Periodical

Dear Matt. Look at us! Five years later and playing with you is still my favorite thing. Adding Brock to the mix puts the snoogle in hyperdrive. It's that time of year where we head back to Berrien County Michigan to relive old memories, and make new ones.  We start the trip with the ol favorite, Tree-mendus apple picking. Brock rushed up this year to see how "tall this fall" he was.  We always sample all the varietals they have to decide where to focus our efforts. These are Grimms, which I thought would be perfect for my apple cake.   Brock greatly enjoyed coming up with other fantastical varietals that we would hunt for including "lagga-lugis" or "pepos".  Even more than picking apples, Brock loved hiking and exploring. Going in, around and through bushes and groves. Matt follows along...  ...with slightly less dexterity  apple us-ie? not sure where we are. We let Brock try his first soda, our favorit

Seems like so long ago, but yes! We went on an amazing trip, our annual sojourn to St. Louis. This year we put it in fun hyperdrive with the fine fine company of Matt's fam from all sides of the U.S.! Joining us were Seattle Knight Aunts/Uncs/Cuzs' Melinda Mark Max and Madeline and Nebraska Cerney grandparents Jim and Julie. I'm sure you can guess that such a line up could only lead to merriment ... indeed it did! Our hotel was overall fantastic. Hot cookies every day and a jaw dropping hotel bar with projection ceilings were standouts. Brock loves a good hotel rumble. First night in and we go out with Jim and Julie to get some delicious local cheese and meat bites. art and smiles were made How did we go from a dinner pic to this otherwordly scene? None other than our annual visit to the City Museum! This year was beyond a blast with the cousins' various skill levels and interests. And here is the proof! all of us together prior to entr
