Memorial Day Weekend Fun

Posted by Aaron  Published in Aaron & Miriam, Jonathan, Marcia & Larry, Mikaela

Our Memorial Day Weekend fun started with celebrating Jeff Perkins’ graduation from Pittsburg State University. The party at Marcia and Chuck’s was the usual combination of great food, drink, family and friends. Mikaela and Jonathan had a blast in the backyard, playing tag and hide and seek with Cousin Margo.
On Sunday, it was on to [...]

Bubblicious

Posted by Aaron  Published in Aaron & Miriam, Jonathan, Mikaela

Right after dinner tonight, Jonathan asked to play Pla-Doh. But as Miriam was getting down the Pla-Doh, Jon recognized the “Bubble Blower” that we’d stashed because it didn’t work without batteries in it. At that point, his interest immediately shifted to BUBBLES!!! I found a spare AA battery in the camera bag, and we went [...]

Cottonwood Point Mother’s Day

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

Today there was a special music program at Mikaela’s school. They don’t usually do “performances” with just one class. But Mikaela’s kindergarten class is a particularly enthusiastic music bunch, so we got a sort of mixture of an end-of-the-year/Mother’s Day concert. Here’s the finale:

CPE Rollerskating Party

Posted by Aaron  Published in Aaron & Miriam, Mikaela

Tonight was the last Cottonwood Point Elementary rollerskating party of the year, and the first against which we didn’t already have a conflict. And Mikaela needed a good diversion tonight (more on that tomorrow), so I brought her to her first rollerskating party.
For me, the experience was a bit surreal. The name may have changed [...]
