How New England And Eminem Had A Hand In It


Gifts from the Fallons, and the continuing suspicion that somehow Eminem is the boys father. Always good for a laugh, but also a significant point of reference for the story with some slight coincidences that may or (most definitely) may not be worth mentioning...


The Fallons are from Boston, where I worked when I got the job in Georgia, which I moved to and met Laura, and then Kheli Fallon (then Sweeney) moved down to work with me and we used to listen to Eminem on the way to teach, pretty much everyday. So, Wicked Smaaht will remind me of that every time he wears it. Kismet.

It Was A Watery Morning

We also managed to get into the aquarium while we were in Boston. We've never been, and Eric gets free admission. So bring on the penguins!

Fatih finds his special place

Penguins everywhere

We settled for awesome turtles

Then we found a pirate ship and all was right with the world

Becoming The Mighty Brustakdemir

I'll never be able to do as good a job as he did on our wedding photos, but I tried. I hope he was taking lots of mental pictures...


Lovely day.
Lovely couple.
Love.

Playing With Penguins

I didn't know they did that...

A Saturday Full Of Pumpkin And Pride


Got a jump on our pumpkins early this year, and where else but the lovely and wonderful Ross & Ross nursery (tell your friends).  This was like last Saturday, and I'm just remembering now. Blurry.


Yuula picked out a nice white pumpkin only to have it eaten by Judee a few days later. So we  went back and got her another one and have it stored up high for the rest of the month.


She was quite fond of this little guy and even used it for her show and tell at dance class that day. I'm sure it was a hit. 


A dance class that we finally got to watch on television. I was rather impressed. Full stretches, across the floors and some combinations. All we could get out of Yuula was that they gave out lollipops at the end. I circled her in pink. 


After class it was straight off to Boston, and what a lovely drive. The only thing that could have made it better was if I could have gotten into Holy Land. Check it out


But we did have like 6 bags of these little nuggets to hold us over. Come to think of it I think half of the food I ingested that weekend was soft licorice. 


First stop: the Fallons, where we hung out with Miles and Isla until they both passed out, I'm assuming from extreme exhaustion. But naturally no such luck with Yuula. She was holding out for the party to get going. 


Miles and Yuula's contribution to Eric's train drawing.


The real reason we were there.

Line of the evening: "It's an Elton John book, because you're gay."
