I think it looks doable; the first few days would be something of a grind, of course, and depending on your water supply it may be a bit of a stretch to do that many nights of dry camping in a row (unless you have convenient dump stations lined up).
I suspect the G to H day would be very long (101 is not a superhighway), and K to L even more so. I would split those up, either by adding (stealing) a day or by rejiggering the stops at the ends.
If you can manage a day or two in St Louis, that's well worth doing...in particular, with kids, I would very strongly recommend a day at the St Louis City Museum. It is absolutely unique and a whole lot of fun, more a giant playground/art installation than a traditional museum. They do of course also have an arch and zoo and several other fine museums in the city too.
