Just Through Georgia

Swimmies Have Become Complex

Winding Down At The Start Of The Week

Monday, our last day in Georgia was comparably more laid back than all the days leading up to it. The big event had come and gone, as had the newlyweds, and all that was left to do was recover and squeeze the last bit of visit we had in us.

The kids definitely had more energy than we did.

Everyone went down to the pool to see who floats and who sinks. I think the results were inconclusive. 

I went downtown to see Rick. We ate Mexican and saw This Is The End. I'm hoping to see him again this year. I think we've re-opened that window. Only a matter of time Moses. A matter of time.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered

Wedding Day!

Why waste time getting her dress dirtied?

the closest we got to a family shot

The evening ended hanging with the bride's side of the family on an abandoned golf course launching lanterns.

It was a wonderful night to a lovely day.

Zombie-Prepped Vows

 Wedding Eve. 

Rehearsals abound. 

As did the rain. 

A decision was made and indoors we went. 

The soon-to-be-betrothed didn't seem to mind.

Flower girls prep

After a delicious meal at Chicken and The Egg, Laura realized her sudden need for accessories. We hit some mega-girl shop and they went to town. Yuula tried on every pair of sunglasses and 2/3 of the necklaces.

Girls and their pearls

At some point of the day Laura and Yuula went with the girls for mani/pedis. My two years old's life experience has already surpassed my own. 

That night we made a last second decision to go see the late showing of World War Z. Laura was brave. So proud. Brad and Kevin joined us. The film ended around 1am, and as we left the theater I shouted "Hey Kevin! You get married today."

Oh, And Baby Nolan Too

Ooh look, a free moment. The first since we've returned from Georgia. Yuula is watched her nightly Wibbly Pig and I'm hiccuping thru three slices of Pizzaro's and a glass of wine. Let me clear the decks so we can move on...

We went down to meet our new nephew and the guy who's dethroning Yuula from her "Youngest Grandkid" crown, Nolan Roy. He already got his own cookies.

We somehow managed to get terribly distracted with things like retro traction devices.

And dragging the kids to horribly overcrowded massive indoor madhouses.

Yuula spent some quality time with the Krupps O'Indiana

And of course we hit the swings down the road

Yuula likes her swings

She and Leanne created a new game. We couldn't figure out the rules enough to put together a decent round.

And of course we met little Nolan. He never even knew we were there.

Dirty South Nightlife Youth

I think I still have some in my teeth

All For The Girls

On our very first day in Georgia, Laura took Yuula with Auntie Theresa and Cousin Leanne to an apple festival in Ellijay. I heard there was clogging. By that I mean I could hear the clogging all the way back in Acworth.

This is just some of the creepy things they saw at the apple festival in Ellijay. Apparently it was also a fly-by-night house of horrors.

Back home we had a more elegant take on the body in motion, with skirts.

But still clumsy as ever.

With brief moments of elegance.
