Coming ‘Round The Mountain
I’m pretty proud of our little boy. His skills on the piano are getting better and better, and he nailed his rendition of the classic American folk song at his recital. Good job, Noah!

Merry Christmas 2013
This is our eighth annual Pipes Family Christmas card! Can you believe it? We let the kids take over this year, and they want to wish you the merriest of Christmases and the happiest of New Years!
Great Britain
We just got back from two weeks in Great Britain. We took a Trafalgar tour that took us from London, through southern England, northern Wales, the Lake District, and finally to Edinburgh, Scotland. We saw some amazing sights and some truly beautiful scenery. The weather was perfect and the people we met on tour were great. It was an awesome...
Birthday Girl Grabs Magic Ticket
There’s only one magic ticket swirling around in the booth — and it’s worth 1,000 tickets — but Josie made it look easy, snatching it within seconds. She was so thrilled, and just as surprised as the rest of us!
Merry Christmas 2012
We hope you enjoy the seventh annual Pipes Family Christmas card! As we celebrate “The Year of the Chicken”, we all want to wish you the merriest of Christmases and a very happy New Year!
The Boys of Summer
Two years ago, I took Noah to his first baseball game, and now he is playing coach-pitch himself. Here’s a quick video of a hit he got in his last game of the season. Dixie took some good photos too. We’re very proud of our little slugger.
Our New Pets
We have welcomed four new pets into our home. Here’s a short video of them. Be warned: this video contains weapons-grade cute.
Merry Christmas 2011
Six years running, here is our annual Pipes family christmas card. Best holiday wishes to all of our friends and family!
Staycation Day 6
Although many people are unaware of it, St. Louis County boasts a world-class wolf sanctuary. Originally founded by Marlin Perkins, the Endangered Wolf Center in Eureka houses several species of endangered wolves and foxes from around the world. We spent the final day of our staycation on a tour of the facility. I guess we had pretty good luck because...
Staycation Day 5
It’s not often that you get a St. Louis weather forecast in August that calls for highs in the low 80s, so when you get one, you have to take advantage of it. Day 5 of our staycation found us enjoying a day at Six Flags. Here are the video highlights of our day.
Marine Week In St. Louis
I still can’t figure out how St. Louis was lucky enough to be selected as the location for Marine Week 2011, but I’m not complaining. It was a great way to spend a father/son afternoon. Noah got a big kick out of the helicopters, the weapons, and the tank. Here’s a short video of our adventure:
Meeting Ellie
Today we made the trip to The Paw Pad to get our little goldendoodle named Ellie. Here’s a quick video of our first meeting, and there are a couple of photos from our trip home in my album.
St. Louis City Museum
We took the kids to the St. Louis City Museum today, and it was amazing. If you’ve never been, you really need to go — at least once. But if you go once, you’ll most likely want to go back. I know I do. The kids can’t wait to go back either. It’s a giant playground for kids and adults...
