Robb & Akuch are back!

I just heard from Robb and they’re back from their trip. He said they had a great time, experiencing very cold weather and very hot weather along the way.

Here’s Robb and Alo overlooking the Elephant Seal Reserve.

Waiting patiently

Loyal friend & companion waits (un)patiently, sometimes on the stairs, for me every morning to go for our walk.

Gramma JoJo sent me these pictures from their day at Kellogg’s Beach.

The long weekend’s over, but it looks like the heat is here to stay a while. Stay cool!

Another beautiful sunny OB day! I think it’s going to be a great day for carne asada.

Sparty goes for his first swim (as Buster the Lifeguard watches closely) …

Fourth of July

While Akuch, Alo & Robb enjoy San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge, we enjoyed a beautiful, sunny OB day, complete with a morning massage (for me), an awesome World Cup Soccer match between Brazil and Columbia (that was poorly officiated), a couple hours of swim at Ron & Jen’s (Bruce and my first swim in their pool), and then home for Bruce and me to watch fireworks alone on the deck.

Sparty was rather bored with it all.

He slept the entire time we were in the pool. At two months old now, he’s really giving up the smiles and coos. Plus his eyes aren’t cross-eyed any more which is a relief!

Hogan was playing “jungle.”

He’s such a happy tortoise.

This afternoon – The Netherlands v. Costa Rica! I love futbol 🙂

Great pictures! It looks cold in SF, but a beautiful place to vacation. Thanks for sending the pictures to share!

Grandma JoJo finally makes a Thursday Nati’s lunch with Bill.

GOAL!

Alo reacts after Portugal’s goal tying US 2-2 with 25 seconds left in the game last week!

Sorry for not posting the last 2 days. I just completed a 4-day intermediate teacher training. It was grueling, but I learned a LOT and my shoulder proved to be inching closer to 100%. Now the work on my knees begins. 100% here I come. But first I have to reach 50%… Onward!

Here’s the group photo of all the teachers:20140629-163920-59960829.jpg
