Woods Chapel Baptist Church - Trunk or Treat

All dressed and ready to go. Cousin Matt was dressed as a Tiger, cousin Jordan went as Thomas the Train and of course our Ev was a Kangaroo (with joey).

Ev was so mesmerized with all the jack-o-lanterns and dancing ghost.

Ev's favorite game booth, "Tic Tac Toe".

Mama and Everett fish for a prize.

Ev loves horsin' (or should i say kanga-roo'n) with his Grampy.

Going home (Grampy has no idea Ev ripped off his pen from his shirt pocket). :)

Thanks Dondi for the invite, Everett had a blast!

Fall at the Dallas Arboretum

After a yummy breakfast at Mimi's cafe, Grammy, Mama, Mommy & Everett headed out for a lovely fall day at the Dallas Arboretum.

Our first family 5K

We walked our first family 5K, as part of "Ryan's Dream Team" for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Ryan (8 years old) has type 1 (juvenile) diabetes, which can strike children suddenly, making them dependent on injected or pumped insulin for life, and carries the constant threat of devastating complications.
Ryan is the son of one of my very best high school buddies, Tammy Dunn. It's been years since I've been in contact with Tammy or her family, but thanks to Facebook we're now able to stay in touch. Funny thing....Tammy's parents live in NRH and her brother lives a few blocks from our old Winewood house. Small world.
The day was gorgeous: sunny and cool; in fact, you couldnt ask for a nicer day. Our team wore lime green, shirts with a picture of Yoda, saying: "A cure we must find! Hmmmm?" Good job designing our shirts, Ryan everyone loved 'em; especially Everett (they matched his light-up neon green/black, Sketcher sneakers). :)
The walk was a perfect way to start off the weekend; we're looking forward to walking many more 5K's in honor of Ryan and the 3 million other children and young adults like him.


"Ryan's Dream Team", Fort Worth!

2nd haircut

Ev did very well (especially with a butterscotch lollipop, in hand) getting his haircut. I didnt even think to get a final pic of his haircut, but will post some of his professional pics tomorrow.


Bye Bye baby boy curls. :( Even so, Everett looks so handsome with his new haircut.

Fun at the Park

Everett had a wonderful time at the park today. He enjoyed collecting mulch and rolling acorns down the slide. Today was also his first day playing solo on the slide. He was able to climb the steps, sit at top and slide down all by himself.

These pictures also served as reminder, he needed a haircut... Autumn/18 month pictures tomorrow. :)
