Trot, Trot to Boston

I can't believe I've been sitting on these photos for a whole week!  Here they are - super cute shots of Grammie Betsy and Charlie going their thang:

Trot trot to Boston, Trot trot to Lynne. 

Careful when you get there that you don't fall in!

Mama at Squam Lake in New Hampshire

Thank you to Grammie Betsy for taking the boys this week while Mama attended the Squam Art Workshops near Holderness, New Hampshire!  What a beautiful retreat. Here's what Mama did while she was far and away.

Round and Round

Spent a little time today on the Carousel!

The Art of Losing Teeth

Walker had a lovely day with his Gramie Betsy who is in town for a little over a week. He has so many new things to share with her - school, new friends, new interests and a loose tooth!  He spent the afternoon in my art studio puttering with some paint and a canvas. Then after he declared himself "done", he played a game of ball with his dad and promptly lost his tooth! So it's a big night here at the Greenman house as we're anticipating a visit from the tooth fairy. Very exciting!

Here are some shots of the contemplative artist at work:

School - End of Week 2

We're at the end of our second week of school, albeit a short one due to the Labor Day holiday. Walker, who was not keen on Kindergarten at first, is definitely warming to the new routine. He still feels that the many rules and regulations are "boring", but the fun activities, new friends and lovely teachers make up for the boring bits.

Charlie has really taken to his new routine and anticipates the bus every morning with smiles, excited kicking and happy sounds and he even says, "a bu" with wonderful upward inflection.  This of course is his version of "the bus". Both he and Walker are little champs, making this difficult transition with courage and heartfelt complaints. We're so proud of them both!
