Thanksgiving Holiday in Rochester

Posted by Aaron  Published in Aaron & Miriam, Eli Holmes, Gabriel Holmes, Mikaela, Steve & Sali Holmes

As I posted earlier, once we escaped the snow in KC, it was smooth sailing to Rochester.  Overall, the long weekend was mostly a relaxing vacation.  It was the first time Miriam’s family had all been together for Thanksgiving since Miriam was in high school.
WednesdayI posted about Wednesday night in the arrival post below.  But [...]

KC Snow Update

Posted by Aaron  Published in Corey & Monique, Marcia & Larry

Meanwhile, back in KC, the snow is causing some extra excitement.  The heavy snow brought down a powerline in Grandma Ted and Zaydie Larry’s backyard – and it managed to pull the electric meter right off the back of their house.  Power was supposed to be restored by the end of the day, but at [...]

Arrived in Rochester – and a Mikaela First!

Posted by Aaron  Published in Aaron & Miriam, Eli Holmes, Gabriel Holmes, Mikaela, Steve & Sali Holmes

We arrived safe and sound in Rochester.  The drive was made immensely easier by our reluctant decision to have a DVD player installed in Miriam’s new car.  We left KC at about 1:00 p.m., and Mikaela took a good 1 1/2 – 2 hour nap right off the bat.  But after Mikaela woke up and [...]

Return of the Camera

Posted by Aaron  Published in General

Finally!  I got my camera back from Pentax service on Thursday night, just before we left for the trip to Chicago.  I should be better about getting new pictures posted on a regular basis again now.  In addition to the pictures from Chicago that we posted, I’ve added a November photo album.  So far, it’s [...]

Snow Day

Posted by Aaron  Published in Aaron & Miriam, Eli Holmes, Gabriel Holmes, Marcia & Larry, Mikaela, Steve & Sali Holmes

This was the view out the back window this morning. About 3 inches of snow, and it was still coming down in big, heavy, wet flakes. Marcia and Larry had a power line down in their backyard – no power and Thanksgiving food in the oven. Ted couldn’t go outside in back, Marcia had to [...]

Chicago – Day 3

Posted by Aaron  Published in Aaron & Miriam, Corey & Monique, Mikaela

We checked out of our hotel on Sunday morning, and headed over to Corey and Monique’s for breakfast. We were rewarded for transporting the waffle mix that Mom had bought for them with homemade waffles. The waffles were great, and Mikaela got to spend the morning playing with Corey and Mo. In the picture here, [...]

Chicago – Day 2 (Revised)

We had coffee and the cinnamon rolls from Fox and Abel for breakfast. AMC met us at the hotel at about 10 am and we walked to Michigan Ave for a Disney show on an outdoor stage in front of the Tribune Building. After the show – featuring Mickey and Minnie Mouse – we went [...]

Chicago Weekend – Day 1

Posted by Aaron  Published in Aaron & Miriam, Corey & Monique, Mikaela

Day One of our Chicago trip was lots of fun.  Annie picked us up at the airport and took us to our hotel – The W Chicago – Lake Shore.  We were early, but we called ahead and let them know we were coming and our room was ready for us.  We’ve got a great [...]

Another Whirlwind Car Purchase

Posted by Aaron  Published in Aaron & Miriam

On Wednesday evening, in the rainstorm, in rush hour traffic on I-435, the timing belt in Miriam’s 1998 Dodge Neon decided to give up the ghost. AAA was great, and got a tow truck out to Miriam and Mikaela in less than 1/2 the time expected. We had the car towed to our usual service [...]

I added some Halloween pictures to the September-October 04 Photo Album. There are pictures of Mikaela, Samantha, Sarah and Margo in their costumes. Thanks to Grandma Ted, Aunt Judy, and Big Sarah for the pictures (I REALLY can’t wait for my camera to come back from the repair shop)!

Aaron's Facebook Status

Aaron is not in the mood for wrestling with opposing counsel today, but if he's not going to cooperate on a depo date, doesn't really have much choice.

Aaron wants to know who the hell invited Monday?

(Updated 2 days, 19 hours, 9 minutes ago)

Aaron has been reassured that, despite the penchant for dressing up like a princess, Jonathan is ALL boy. After a big meal of Chinese food, he asked to be excused, followed by a HUGE belch. :-|.
