Guy Forsyth at Knuckleheads

Posted by Aaron  Published in Aaron & Miriam

Sunday, September 13 was a busy day. After hanging out with family for lunch, Miriam and I headed out to Knuckleheads because my old friend Guy Forsyth was in town with his band. We had a nice dinner at Classic Cup on the Plaza, and then headed down to the railroad tracks for the show [...]

Jonathan – Sax Maniac

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

Corey was in town for the Kansas City Improv Festival, so we got together after Sunday School for lunch at Mom & Dad’s house. Amid the usual good food (BBQ, of course) and family fun, Mom dug out Grandpa Sam’s old saxophone. Mikaela tried it first, and managed to get sound out of it pretty [...]

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

September started with birthday dinner for Grandma Marcia at our house. I’m not sure how the math works out on this (math has never been my strong suit) but I’m told that she was celebrating her 29th birthday (or at least the anniversary thereof ). Mikaela decorated the cake (using an entire tube [...]

Back to School

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

Sorry for being slow at posting the wrap-up of the Minnesota Trip – getting back just in time for Mikaela to start first grade had me a bit distracted. HIghlights of the last few days of vacation included a return trip to the House of Bounce (this time, Jonathan got to come too – last [...]

Minnesota Days Four through Six – Taking it easy

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

We set out for Rochester, MN on Sunday, beginning the more relaxed leg of our vacation trip. Not that it hasn’t been fun – it’s been great. But the pace has been much more relaxed. We’ve spent much of our time hanging out at the “Mouse House” with Steve and Sali and Gabe and Eli. [...]

Hanging with Annie

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

We got a nice treat when Annie came to town for her high school reunion. We had a fun, casual dinner at Aunt Judy and Uncle Lloyd’s. Matt and Uncle Lloyd talked car repair. Mikaela gave Annie a refresher course in slapjack. And Mikaela and Jonathan provided some extra entertainment when they found Annie’s old [...]
