We are the mundane
What a great visit with Elliot and friends Joe and Adam! I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time! They were very interested in learning the dynamics of the Fall family…and engaging themselves in every competition we could dream up (from the proper way to speak to pool and air hockey)! I’m so sorry we had to go away on Saturday. I understand Steve and I missed out on a great day in Chicago.
Gary – you should have a blast on Wednesday!
As Shannon’s uncles well know, Shannon received her first Mickey (their Christmas gift to her – a five foot Mickey!) when she was less than 8 months old…and she was hooked. By the time she was two years old, all she wanted was a Mickey Mouse cake for her birthday…every year! To keep the tradition alive, her 30th birthday was no different (although we surprised her with it).
She’s really starting to show!! Next month we’ll learn the sex!
Until the sex is determined (20 weeks), we’re calling it “Baby Bean”…
Here’s a picture of Dawn in Jamaica…we think she’s about 7 or 8 weeks pregnant!
Elliot – we expect a full report (with pictures) of today’s events. Hope you’re having a great one (although I hear you have classes until 9:30).
Be safe!!
So we’re supposed to post random things on here, right? With that notion, I thought I’d share how I spent my Friday before last. My friend Dennis and I headed to the beach with our dogs; well, with his dog and my “adopted” dog Floyd. Dennis recently started his own company called Paw IMprints, where he takes pictures of people with their dogs in their natural routines and surroundings (no poses here). When I take care of Floyd, I often bring him to the beach, thus this is where we headed. Here are a few of my favorite shots. I have 33 really great ones to choose from (out of 6 rolls). It was a great New England kind of day (foggy, light drizzle) at the beach!
Oh, there is a great old graveyard (circa 1600) that is located on the way to the beach. It’s a huge piece of property set directly on Little Harbor. People bring their dogs there all of the time to run around and also to jump the head stones… it’s wierd, I know.
I’ve posted a lot of exciting news about Brian & Andrea and Dawn and Chris lately, so it’s time to brag about Shannon. Shannon has accepted a new position as a publicist with a firm in Dover, New Hampshire. Bisson Barcelona is a national publicity firm that specializes in high visibility campaigns and integrated marketing strategies for Authors, Business Professionals and Companies. Even her boss at the Women’s Business Center told Shannon that this was a fabulous career move for her (of course she tried to counter-offer first).
We’re really proud of you, Shay!
The White Sox World Series Trophy Tour was at work today. So I waited in line for about 10 – 15 minutes and they snapped a polaroid.
Here I am! Pretty cool except they move you out of there in about 5 seconds to get the next person in.
As you all may know I just recently turned the big two one (A.K.A DRUNK) haha just kidding dad! To celebrate this wonderful occasion my wonderful cousin Shannon came out to celebrate with me and a couple of my friends down at some of the ISU bars. She felt right at home. Basically I’m just posting this to say that not only do I wish all of you could have joined us but also to thank Shannon soooo very much for driving down to celebrate a birthday I’ll never be able to remember.
