(from August 3rd, around 1 in the morning)
Funnel cake is tough. And even tougher when you're half asleep and a little bit drunk.
Future advice: Don't boil oil after drinking a Kheli's mixed drinks.

Annual Anti-Corps Funnel Cake Estler-Fallon Freakout
August started off so calm and quiet...
but it quickly became the opposite.
By noon we had pink mayhem in the yard...
and boys in dresses...
crying kitty kidnapping struggles...
and hammock rides on the edge of disaster.
Slide and Slide and Drink
Isla likes being beaned with the ball
These two are buddies.
The kids played nice while the adults broke into an abandoned home.
When it got too hot we took it to the rink.
Took it down a notch back at the house and cooked as much meat as we could fit on the grill.
Laura is gross.
Next years annual event is already scheduled.

In The Full Forces
I'm just now getting around to sifting thru the rubble from the past weekend. I haven't put up any photos from our little getogether on Sunday night back at the Fallons, this time in full force. So here's that...
Oh and nothing's really been going on since we got home. Working. Both of us. Laura's on that dreading closing shift where she's so tempted to sleep til noon and I am playing catchup with a job that had a 4 day headstart on me. No fun. But all is good now. We are planning the rest of our pre-Christmas festivities very tightly, because really we don't have much free time. The list is ambitious, but we have a good feeling about it. By which I haven't even begun to start really celebrating full force. Tomorrow we start with uploading what I hold to be the most thorough Christmas playlist on Earth. Try and prove me wrong. It's pretty deep. But I'm never above taking new additions so... suggestions?

Meeting Miles Fallon
We knew that it'd be love at first sight for these two, but we never thought they'd skip right to the sweet bickering of a 20 year marriage. Miles John Murphy Fallon, you are one happy and handsome young man. Thank you for teaching Yuula to trampoline. Now I have to add that to her Christmas list.
They took turns in the baby stroller. Yuula was first.
Then Miles.
She is a strong girl.
Great to see Kheli of course, and Christian surprised us as well. Hope to get together tomorrow be fore we head back.

The South Is Full Of Friends
Ahh the South. Land of rain and ice and paralytic traffic on every road. Or at least since we've been down here.
At least the ride down was nice weather. Twelve hours down to Greensville is not nearly as rough as the full 16 it would've taken to get to Atlanta. And around 11 and a half Yuula decided she'd had enough of her carseat. She gave us her first ultimatum. Good thing we expected it.
First stop was Budd's. It was quick but effective, in the way that Budd got to hold Yuula and we go to listen to the Elf soundtrack about 9 times. Plus Budd's place has some great photo ops in the form of wall hangings. We snapped when he wasn't looking.
The next morning was a delightful ride thru the mountains into Jasper where we met Barb & Bill for a little meet the baby and a little Waffle House. It was here that we knew she was our baby by her reaction of unbridled joy and elation just being inside such a splendid place as the house of waffle. The waitresses could be less creepy tho.
From there we headed south towards our old home, the Canton Mill Lofts. When we lived there all the security gates were broken and it was easy to sneak in. Of course now that we want just wanted to literally take a walk down memory lane, the place is tighter than Fort Knox. And we couldn't remember the gate code.
Next on the stop list was the Fallon residence to see Kheli and her gigantic belly, so that Yuula can meet her future boyfriend. It's an arranged relationship. Kheli and her mother are at home waiting til her planned C-section, which is actually today at 3:15, so they welcomed some company to take their minds off the wait.
We planned to meet Jeff & Michelle but this is where the ice started coating the streets and Georgians are not equipped to deal with such a natural disaster. Mentally they don't have the salt. We postponed and headed to Acworth at 5mph to get some rest.
The next morning we went out to meet some of the old McEachern girls, Tiffany, Christian & Ashton. They all seemed to be quite happy in their current lives, as differing as the may be, and it's fun to think we all used to spend some good times skipping around a dirty gym to an Aphex Twin song.
Yuula met the Big Chicken.
We passed by the offices of Loud Security, the workplace of one Christina Smith. I played with the zen rock garden in the lobby and I finally realized what I want for Christmas. But full size, not the desk toy. Make it happen Santa.
We were feeling the effects of being in a car for almost 3 full days so we quick stopped by the enormous liquor store to buy some Taj Mahal Indian beer and then scurried back to the Krupp residence to introduce Yuula to Uncle Brian, Aunt Asriel, Aunt Theresa and cousins Madison and Charlotte over some French bread pizza. The rest of the family comes this weekend, but it's best in small doses.
stay tuned for more from Christmas South...
