About Our Family  
  We love living in the woods of Missouri, just north of Wentzville in the St. Louis metro area. We're about 15 minutes from "town" and Doug has a 20-minute commute to work. Doug and Robin enjoy walks in the woods and watching all the birds and critters around here. We even have a speaker that allows to hear the birds around the bird feeders in the front yard. The kids have fun finding frogs and lizards and playing in the woods. The fishing is great, so give us a call and come on over! View our 2010 Christmas letter HERE.

Bed & Breakfast
We would love to have you come visit our cozy lodge in the woods. The guest room has a lake view in the winter and a green view in the summer! If the weather is nice you can fish in the lake, explore the creek or explore the woods. Let us know if you are ever passing through or would like to make a vacation of it!
Robin in 2011
Robin is sort of a combination web designer / forest ranger / accountant / teacher / chauffeur. She still loves letterboxing because it helps the family discover all sorts of neat places and was a major planner in a national convention last summer. She also spends a lot of time working on our land, alternating between planting good stuff and killing bad stuff. Her consulting business keeps her busy as well, mostly doing web design for small businesses.  More >>
