We had friends in town from Waco, TX this past week. Kim and I have known each other for a long time now. She grew up in Liberty, Missouri and throughout our high school years we would see each other at All-State auditions and we played in the Kansas City Youth Symphony together. Then our paths crossed again in graduate school when we both attended CCM. We have many fun memories from those years in Cincinnati including Easter potluck meals with huge spreads of delicious food, an unusual horn quartet gig in Kentucky where we played music at the start of a fox hunt, a fun trip to Ottawa for a 5k and a friend's baby shower, a fancy horn duet gig held at the Cincinnati Art Museum, and a shared love of all things sweet: cake baking, crepe making and plenty of ice-cream eating.
Kim and Paul passed through Tampa before and after their trip to Key West and the Everglades. Kim is expecting baby Phillip in September and she is doing great! I think she is one beautiful, glowing pregnant lady. Abigail thinks so, too.
On Memorial Day, Robert stayed home with Abby while Kim, Paul and I drove out to Clearwater to eat at Skyline Chili -- a famous Cincinnati establishment. When we arrived, we were excited to discover a Cincinnati Market next door that had opened in January. The market carried all things Cincinnati: frozen LaRosa's pizzas, pints of Graeters and UDF ice-cream, Frisch's tartar sauce, Montgomery Inn Barbecue sauce and frozen entrees and even Glier's goetta. Here's proof that this place exists.
Look at all of the glorious Graeter's ice-cream flavors!
And here's my Skyline vegetarian 4-way. Love that mound of cheese!
After dinner, we headed to Honeymoon Island State Park where Kim and Paul let me take some maternity shots. They were such easy subjects to work with!
One of my goals for the shoot was figuring out how to get a nice silhouette.
See? I told you she is glowing.
Thanks for coming to visit, Kim & Paul! We wish you all the very best as you wait for Baby Phillip's arrival.
