Alo

It’s embarrassing to say that after such a great birthday party yesterday, I have nothing to show for it. I haven’t downloaded my pictures (the disadvantage of using a “real” camera), but plan on doing that tonight.

So I thought I should dig up something about Alo since the post should really be all about him. Here’s a video I took last week of Alo pushing the wagon around the kitchen with Pappa’s help (I hope I didn’t already post this…).

He is so darn cute and smart. We’ve gotten quite used to having him around a couple times a week, & I think he’s gotten used to us, too. I will really miss him when he goes away, but I keep telling myself it’ll “only be” for a couple years…

Tune in tomorrow to see some photos of the birthday party. It was a LOT of fun. Everyone had a good time. The weather was perfect under the tree & it was a great place for all the kids to play & fly their kites & other flying toys.

Go Padres

Well, they didn’t do very well. Actually, they didn’t do well at all considering the Brewers downed the Padres 10 – 1. Ugh!

But did we have fun! YES! & we have pictures to show for it.

Our new best friends who sat behind us asked for a photo with us. It must’ve been because we were the only fans left in the stands after the game was over.

Hand holding siblings

Yesterday – Maya and Sparty hold hands while trying to decide what activities to plan for the day. Maybe just lay around in bed all day???

Friday – Alo at the park. I wore him out pretty good.

Today is just another day at the office. I can think of a lot more things I’d rather be doing. But it’s hump day for me…

Technical Difficulties Remedied

YAY! Up & running!!

I stayed up till 11:30 Tuesday night trying to fix this bad boy. Ok, so 11:30 might not seem like very late to some people, but when the alarm is set to go off at 4am, 11:30 is LATE! I suffered from that lack of sleep yesterday at work, and I had a really hard time driving home from work trying to keep my eyes open. The fact that traffic was stop & go north of the merge and it took me twice as long to get home didn’t help. But when I got home from work yesterday I was able to get both the iPad and iPhone Apps to work. All right. Too much information, I know. But I feel better getting that off my chest.

Jen sent me the above “Mommy & Maya” selfie yesterday. Sleeping Beauty!! It’s a big deal when Maya sleeps.

On another note. I don’t remember if I provided this information in a prior post, but for those of you interested in keeping up with how Evan’s doing, here’s the link to his blog:

Evan doesn’t post daily, and not even weekly for that matter. But he does post when there’s something significant to share. He’s still coming into the office almost daily and working most-time (something in between full-time and part-time). Although he’s lost a considerable amount of weight, he looks pretty good, and his spirits seem to be pretty good, and he hasn’t lost his great sense of humor, quick retorts and zeal for enjoying those things he enjoys – his family, especially his grandson, reading, walking, dining out, and the arts.

Today, Nati’s with Bill! Let me know if we should count you in.

Oh, and when I was trying to figure out the WordPress glitch, I found & loaded a new feature that allows you to subscribe to my blog. If you subscribe, you’ll get an email notifying you every time I post something new… if you so care. See top right hand corner of the blog page. If you’re reading this from your mobile device, the email subscription option may be at the bottom of the page – scroll all the way to the bottom.

To Tell The Truth

“Will the real Hogan please stand up?”

These two weren’t nearly as excited as I was about the Germany v Argentina match.

Arjen Robben should join the Netherlands Olympic dive team…

Lot’s of things …

The best being Hogan mounting the plastic (once glow in the dark) tortoise. What’s he thinking???

And below, Alo wants to know when he gets to start eating something other than pureed food …

Today I’m doing my colonoscopy prep. I had a delicious breakfast of peach jello, white grape juice and chai tea with honey. Yesterday I wasn’t allowed to have any fiber. There’s a big list of all the foods I couldn’t eat. So I had two scrambled eggs for breakfast, cottage cheese for lunch and a big piece of bbq’d salmon for dinner. Oh, and this (mine’s on the right).

Hey, it wasn’t on the “you can’t have this” list – no fiber!

Eating at Nati’s

Akuch feeding Alo some sort of orange organic mixed fruit and veggie meal.

While Maya enjoys her chicken enchilada, pinto beans and rice.

That’s her “don’t take a picture” face. I saw it coming, so I sneaked the picture just before she noticed.

Afterwards Akuch preparing Alo for an after-lunch walk…
