Orion shows Dad his moves

I have been lucky enough to be able to spend the last several evenings with Orion and Matthew at their home. This video is one of several I took late this afternoon. Matthew knows that Orion needs exercise but there are only a number of things Ri can do as of now. He was getting restless this afternoon and as we were working on a gameplan for some sort of release for his cabin fever, Orion kept interjecting his idea of going to Amy's ice cream parlour - his idea of exercise. For such a skinny kid he thinks fat!! Well, he won out and we walked all the way from the parking lot into Amy's and then walked again all the way to their courtyard seating!!! Imagine how many calories that burned! Orion enjoyed the cool bites of his Mexican Vanilla ice cream with oreo crunchies. He even shared it with his dad.

When we got back home, they had fun on the trampoline jousting about, with Orion showing his dad some of the defense moves he had learned in his martial arts class this past spring. I am so lucky to be surrounded by the love of my son and his cute little red headed son. We are all so lucky to be surrounded by the love of all our families and friends. Thank you for being a part of this continuous circle of love! My gratitude to you all. Love, Orion's Nana Colleen
