Robb, Akuch & the kids met us at the airport yesterday & we met our new grandson for the first time. So far we haven’t heard him cry.   

    
We went out for Indian food (the kids were wearing their Indian outfits I got them in Pune). Here Alo is working a vending machine. He didn’t get lucky though …

 I was wearing a turtleneck because it got chilly. Alo: “Amma, where’s your neck?” Another time he looked up at me, touched my face and said “I love you.” Precious.

After dinner we headed back to the hotel and passed out. I had gotten up in the wee hours of the morning (1:30am, yes I consider that wee hours…) and needed to get to bed.

Today we have an outing planned and will be heading out after breakfast.

Above – at Liberty Station after music class.

Last Wednesday marked Sparty’s first music class with Amma. He looked pretty bored during the drive there.

   
Still not too excited here. I didn’t take any other photos during clas because he was pretty much clinging to me the entire time with random bursts of tears for no apparent reason. It might take a couple weeks for him to get used to his crazy Amma. Today was much better with no tears! Still a bit of a cling-on though so no photos to show for today.

 
After class we took a walk around the fountain across the street from class. He liked that a lot.

Funny – Today Maya and I were looking at my blog post from yesterday (one of our favorite pastimes), and when we got to the photo of her foot stuck in the fence she said “My foot was stuck,” then she looked at me and we both started laughing .

I found out today my favorite alternative rock radio station, KPRI, sold out on its listeners. After a couple decades of great music with the best DJs on the air and Sunday Morning Unplugged being the best music on the radio, this once San Diego independent radio station was sold to K-LOVE, a nationwide syndicated “pop” Christian music station. Disappointing.

Above – silly kids having chocolate milk in the fort.

Last Monday, we built this pretty cool fort in the yoga room.

I was able to get Sparty to smile.

I was able to get Maya to smile.

But I’ll be darned if I could get them both to smile at the same time!

I got a couple silly faces.

And once again, only one smile, and another silly one at that!

Then some silly upside down faces.

  

Bribery will get you everywhere! Sparty was working hard on the candy sprinkles toppings. 

Is Pappa eating worms again?

Sparty’s not afraid of Hogan.

And look! Neither is Maya!

Sweet! And look … Maya’s still wearing the friendship bracelet I brought her from India. When that one’s worn out, I have two more! Different colors, of course.

I’m in LA this weekend at a workshop and will be home around 3pm Sunday (tomorrow).

Bruce and I are getting excited and looking forward to our trip next weekend to meet the new grandson!

In bloom today.

  
Bear & me sharing a front row seat for the pitiful Chargers game Sunday.

 
Who is that in the isle standing on her head just to the right of Birjoo at the Birjoo Mehta Workshop (gray shirt/orange-ish leggings)?   

Perhaps Sparty will become a Station 22 fireman one day … ???

   
I have lots of photos from our afternoon with Maya & Sparty Monday but had to move through these photos first.

Today – a first outing with Sparty to his music class, then an afternoon with Maya at gymnastics and fun.
