Buds

Beautiful morning at the Greenman house.  First a little cuddling, then off to West Village to ride the trolley!  Here we go...

Wake up, Charlie!

Charlie the Wonderboy!  Thanks Kambria for the awesome shirt!

YUM!

One happy grandpa.

Charlie falls asleep... finally!

Visitors and an anniversary!

Pa John spent the weekend in Austin visiting two dear friends, the Carlins (who were visiting Austin from California).  Anet and Charlie brought Pa John home on Sunday and spent the evening with us.  Anet and Charlie got the full Greenman boy experience as you can see from the photos below.  Anet also taught me how to make pie crust while she was here... so I've included some photos of my work.  Thank you Anet!  Now I'm ready for Thanksgiving.

And a little tap number for your entertainment:

Tonight, Jack and I are off on a date for our 6th wedding anniversary.  We're going to the symphony hall to listen to choirs from all over perform Peace Anthems.  Then, dinner sans kids.  Thanks Dad for taking the kids tonight!

Bath Time

Pa John traveled to Austin for the weekend - Walker was very surprised that Pa John would get on a train without him, but these are the tough life lessons that Walker is facing these days.  Today, we had an unsuccessful yard sale and a very successful donation to the Women's Shelter Thrift Store.  Despite our piddly sale, Walker enjoyed being outside all morning!  He got nice and dirty.  Here he his soaking off the day's grime:

And heeeeeeeeere's Charlie!

Back Yard Bonding

Today was a leisurely day spent in the back yard.  Then Charlie was off to a Cranio-Sacral bodywork appointment.  He looked and felt great after a little hands-on work aimed at balancing his muscles and accessing the central nervous system.  My Dad, Jack and I all noticed a marked difference in his range of motion and alignment.  This Cranio-Sacral work in addition to Charlie's chiropractic care is going very well overall!  Here are some sweet shots from our time int he back yard.

Look at Charlie's straight body and free arms.  This is new!

A quick look at Walker's construction site!

Musing about tractors, bull dozers, scrapers and diggers.

Pumpkins Galore!

Lovely day out at the Arboretum.  Walker wanted to see the pumpkins, of which there were thousands, and we all wanted to show Pa John one of our most beloved places in Dallas.  We had a beautiful time!
