Polo!

Posted September 11th, 2011, 6:18 pm by karl

This afternoon we watched the John Greene Polo Invitational at Arranmore Farm. There were bounce houses, pony rides, ice cream, bad 80′s music, and of course, polo.

The Oswego Fire Department presents the colors. A particularly poignant moment on this anniversary.

And they're off!

Cabernet Cabaret

Posted June 25th, 2011, 11:17 pm by karl

Arranmore Center for the Arts held the Cabernet Cabaret event today on the lawn at Arranmore Farm. The wine was provided by Coopers Hawk winery, and the music was provided by a fantastically talented group of performers. It was a great evening, the first of many.

Katra and I also celebrated our eighth anniversary tonight (a few days early). Happy anniversary!

Event patrons were invited to walk over to the next county for a glass of wine. (Seriously. Fortunately the next county was not too far of a walk!)

The crowd begins to gather

After a brief drizzle, the musicians came out to begin what turned out to be an incredible few sets of songs

In addition to the countless hours Katra spent working on this event, I did some graphic design. Here’s one of the posters I made up for the event:

Ian’s last day of park district preschool was today. The kids did a big song-and-dance routine, prompted by their fantastic teacher, Miss Jen.

Ian Turns 4

Posted February 22nd, 2011, 10:36 pm by karl

Ian celebrated his 4th birthday today. Since we had already had the big Gymquest party with his friends in January, we just had a family party at home.

Peek a boo!

Ian opted for M&M-encrusted cupcakes as his birthday cake. Once the candle was blown out (with a little assistance from Kyle), the cupcake didn’t stick around for very long.
