Sparty

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.

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.

Watch out for that … !!!

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.

The Girls

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.

Three Days a Blog

I’m in a workshop this weekend, so I’m turning this post into a 3-dayer. If I’m able to post tomorrow, I will. If not, this will have to hold you over until Monday

Alo with the stuffed bunny the Easter Bunny left at our house for him.

And with his Papa at music class Tuesday.

Little Maya and Jen spent the night last night. The cabinet guys were at their house making noise & Maya needed sleep. This morning playing with the toys from under the stairs (she knows where everything is…).

Today Robb & Akuch are dropping Alo off at 2. We’re going to babysit while they go to Jud’s wedding. We met Jud at Robb’s UCSD orientation lunch, so I think that makes him Robb’s oldest “college friend.” I’ll get home from my workshop around 3:30, so we’ll get to spend some fun time with Alo.

Music, Maya & Alo

Alo attended his first music lesson yesterday. This isn’t the typical music class. It’s a class where kids (babies in this case) and their moms or dads, grandparent(s) or nannies sit and sing, bang on drums and other interesting objects, to the beat of whatever song Miss April is singing. Bruce went with Akuch & Alo and took these pictures.

This is the same place where Maya has been going for her music classes. Last week, Ron went to join in.

We run, jump & dance, too.
