Are We in Arizona?

We had a beautiful weekend in Arizona! On Saturday morning, we headed south on highway 87, and in no time we were in high country. Spent the day enjoying scenery, cool temperatures, and just being together. Ended up in Holbrook for a great prime rib dinner. Sunday, we headed for the Mogollon Rim, and, again spent the day in cool beautiful areas. Had a yummy lunch in Flagstaff, then went back to Winslow by way of Leupp, so I could see the clinic.
This is Hubby Docs first assignment working for Indian Health Care, and it is a little different than a regular clinic. He enjoys the older patients especially, and says they are very interesting to talk to. Two of the clinics are way out in the country on the reservation. One is the photo shown, and the other is Dilkon. (no photo)

Finally, a baby

He was worth the wait! August 4th, 10:13PM, Charles Baird Greenman was born in Dallas, Texas, at home with the aid of an amazing midwife and assistant. My daughter was, also amazing. I am so proud of her. She is a Doula, and has worked at the Birth Center here in Dallas, so, is a true advocate for midwifery.
Little Charlie, however, was having a little trouble getting up and running. He just couldn't get that big cry out that they want to see. So he was transported to Baylor Hospital, and is recieving a little help from the great staff there. Hopefully, we will have him home in a day or two.
Meanwhile, back in Winslow, Hubby Doc is really missing his little Wifey! I've been in Dallas a month! I'll see you soon, Sweetie, I swear.

Homesick!

Bear with me. Hubby Doc is in Winslow, and I'm in Dallas. We've been apart for three weeks, and I'm missing him and homesick for our beloved Eagle Farm. Pictures from home.

A refreshing dip in Eagle Creek!

Miss you honey, wish we were here!........;-)

Thanks everyone, that was better therapy than seeing a counselor.

No Baby Yet

Well, no baby yet, here in Dallas. Her due date was yesterday, and she is more than ready. We keep busy with Walker(photo of him enjoying a cake ball, a very special treat!)and last night we went out for a grownup dinner at a lovely restaurant. I'll keep you posted.
Hubby Doc had a good weekend. His brother flew up to Winslow in his private plane for a short visit. Had to cut it short, because some bad weather came in. While he was seeing him off, he met three pilots, who got stranded because they couldn't fly to their final destination. To the rescue! Hubby Doc drove them to Show Low, about 80 miles away, and really enjoyed their company. They wanted him to stay the night and golf with them, but, of course, he had to work today. He was happy, to at least get the chance to see their planes and check out the airport. (sorry no pics of his adventure, I've got the camera with me)
Hope you all had a good weekend. ;-)

Cooling off in the front yard. (trying)


To my Hubby Doc......

Scattered Family

This post finds the family scattered all over. I'm in Dallas waiting for my daughter to 'pop', as her two year old puts it. We are joined by Gramie Betsy, from Seattle, and having fun while we wait. (and drinking a little wine)
My son is in Scotland visiting his dad, who lives in Gardenstown. He is seeing a lot of countryside and enjoying cooking the fresh fish that comes into the harbor, across the street from his dads home. I'm pretty jealous. It's in the 60s there. (did I mention, it's freakin HOT in Dallas?)
Meanwhile Hubby Doc is left, slaving away at the Indian Health Care clinic in Winslow. He is looking for his wifee to come back soon. (I will, I promise, Honey!)
Back in California, Hubbys kids are enjoying birthdays and beach time in Cayucos. Sorry, no pictures.
When I get back to Winslow, I'll post about the job he is working.
