So many pictures to share, but the one above speaks for itself. Beautiful beautiful grandkids. I love you all!
Alo, Akuch & Robb meet Alo’s new cousin for the first time.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful Mothers in my life!

Maya with Papa Bill.
Num Num – chicken enchilada with pinto beans and rice. It was so good, Maya had seconds!
Num Num – some sort of organic mixture of apples, mango & vege (I think).
After banging on drums and other musical instruments, & hopping, running & dancing in music class in the morning then a big lunch, Maya passed out cold in my arms.
This afternoon – Alo! He’s got music class this morning, so maybe he’ll take a nice nap for me and hopefully a walk to OB and the OB Park for some playground fun. It’s looking like a beautiful day!
I saw the baby yesterday but left my phone in the car, so no baby pictures today. I can tell you though … he was still as cute as ever.

I dropped in later yesterday to visit Sparty’s family.
Jen proves it can be done – carrying 2 kids at one time.
And Maya succeeds in stuffing the pacifier in the baby’s mouth all by herself.
For your enjoyment, another video of Maya being big sister.

Here are some pictures of Alo sent to me earlier this week from Akuch. He’s 8 months old now!
Hanging out in the new beanbag chair.

Sparty aka Silas Bruce D’Isidoro Thomas was born yesterday, Cinco de Mayo 2014, at a time not yet disclosed by the parents, weighing in at 8 lbs 8.7 oz, and measuring in at 20 inches long. According to his dad, he’s got a nice set of balls on him … Impressive!!
Sparty now has his own category on my blog site, and the blog title has been changed accordingly.
It appears he’s a thumb sucker.
Meanwhile, Maya remains oblivious to it all …
We didn’t get to see Alo yesterday after all, so no Alo pictures today.

Today’s the BIG day. Maya arrives at Pappa & Amma’s.
& has breakfast.
Takes some selfies.
All in anticipation of her NEW BABY BROTHER!!! Bruce picked Maya up at 6am and Jen & Ron headed off to the hospital. We’re going to the ZOO this morning, Alo joins Maya this afternoon, and Maya has swim. Sometime during all this excitement Sparty will enter the world.

I’m not sure if Alo noticed that big, uh, “thing” creeping up from behind …
One last day of Maya being an only child. Life is going to change forever in a very good way.

Yesterday afternoon sitting on the deck watching for helicopters and planes. It was a beautiful day. No wind. The temperature was neutral. It felt like body temperature. In the shade it was perfect. Maya wasn’t feeling well so it was a good “quiet” activity.
Below, Annie & Bear wait (im)patiently for their morning walk.
This afternoon – Alo!! He has music class this morning.
