Eating Animals

I mentioned Eating Animals in my last post.  This online talk and discussion allows you to get a taste of the book and the author’s thoughts behind it.  I found it very worthwhile and well done.

Remembering MawMaw

MawMaw, May 2007

Harry’s maternal grandmother, Gretchen Tadlock, passed away this weekend, just days after her 82nd birthday. Harry is with his family in Louisiana for her memorial service tomorrow. I am really sad to not be there, but thankful we get to visit for a cousin’s wedding over Labor Day weekend. We are so sad that MawMaw won’t get to see Charlie during that visit. She would’ve adored him at this age and I think he would’ve loved many of her antics. I think she would’ve made him laugh and have no doubts he would’ve charmed her.

The part of Charlie that reminds me 100% of the Tadlocks is a piece of his personality that usually comes out at dinnertime. He completely lets his guard down and tells silly stories, makes faces and enjoys his company. After Harry and I became engaged, the Tadlocks threw a lovely party for us. Afterwards, MawMaw and some of her children and grandchildren played cards, all the while teasing each other and having a great time. I knew I was in for fun. I absolutely adored this playful aspect of the family and was charmed and entertained by MawMaw’s continuous attempts to change the card game rules while her sons lovingly kept her true.

So, MawMaw, this video is for you. Charlie’s telling Steve, Harry and I made-up stories while we eat dinner. We wish he could’ve told you some in September. We will miss you!

Charlie’s Chicken Dance

Charlie received this musical card on his birthday (two months ago) and continues to love listening to the song, watching adults dance, and giving it his best shot. He’s getting better every day!

At the end of the first segment of this video Charlie toots, and at the
beginning of the second he gets his poop shivers. After the video is
taken, he poops. All while walking! What a talented boy. We are so
proud. (Truly!)
