Lunch with Alo yesterday & a couple throwbacks.

(Akuch, Bill, Monette & Bruce, too)

Alo was all smiles when he showed up to Nati’s and was good the whole time we were there. That is, until Akuch put him back in his stroller …

He’s got the puffy lip action going on 🙂

Yesterday I was looking at some old photos on my computer and came across some pictures of my cousin, Matt, from Klamath Falls. So I called him. We had a really nice talk, and talked for over an hour. Damn that guy’s smart, and he has a memory! I suppose I should be sharing a picture of him, but I didn’t send any of the pictures to my photo stream. If I have time today, I’ll do that so I can share them.

But here are a couple pictures that might bring smiles …

Pretty hilarious!

After Ron sees this next picture on my blog, I may never live to post again. This may be the last picture I have of Ron with (not just hair, but…) dreadlocks!

I’m going to guess he was 17 when the picture was taken. If you look closely past the dreads, you can still see that cute face and dimple. I’m going to run and hide now …

No walk for me!!

Alo didn’t feel like going for a walk yesterday …

He wanted to sit on his Amma’s lap and sing & play instead.

Maya stopped by after swim to visit her cousin, but he was taking a nap.

She was kinda tired, too …

Back at home last night, Alo kicks back with a little playtime with his daddy before bedtime.

I especially like the bite mark at the top of the “E.”

Nati’s – 11:30 today. Be there or be square.

Alo – at 19 weeks old

Weighs in at …

17 pounds!!

I saw this recipe on FB yesterday & had to take a picture. This is a must try recipe. It looks so good!!

The picture’s a little dark, but it’s the recipe that’s important.

Sorry, Bill. It doesn’t look like I’ll be able to have lunch with you today. Can you do Nati’s on Saturday at 11:30 instead?? Any other takers?? Let me know.

Maya & Alo

Here are some pictures of Maya that Jen texted me, both with Maya sound asleep. Jen looks pretty tired in the first picture after battling with Maya to get her to sleep.

Ron’s probably not going to be very happy I’m posting the next picture, but I’ll take that risk because it’s very precious.

On Sunday, Robb, Akuch and Alo came by and watched the second half of the SF v. Seattle game and had pizza with us. Alo slept most of the time, but I got my hands on him after he woke up.

One last picture. Last Thursday I was so surprised when I received a package from Toni, Morgan’s mom. It was a really cute Lululemon yoga outfit (that fits me) and a nice card. It was such a surprise! I’ve never had anything Lululemon before. In fact, I didn’t even know what the logo looks like until now. Here’s my attempt at a self portrait to show the outfit. One leg has a blue racing stripe down the side (which you can’t see in the picture), and the other leg has a yellow stripe around the bottom of the leg.

Don’t worry, I took the tags off before heading out to La Mesa to teach.

Lots with a view

I paid a visit yesterday to my long ago passed relatives. It was a little hazy, but still a beautiful morning for a solitude drive to the point. It had been so long since I visited Grandma and Grandpa that I had to stop at the office to do a search and get a map. I can’t believe it’s been thirty years… Their site is so beautiful, I should really go to visit more often.

The plot is to the far right near the big tree. You can see a small bouquet of (plastic) flowers… it’s just in front and to the left of that.

If I could come up with one word for them, I believe it would be “GENEROUS.”

Then off to visit Jon, but first I had to find him. I ended up going back to the office to take another look at the map. I bet it’s been since before Billi died that anyone has gone to visit him. He, too, has a great view, only his is of SD Bay, North Island, downtown and to the east.

I had to take a closeup of this really cool, huge sailboat. What the picture doesn’t show is that it looked as though there were a LOT of people on it. Next time, I’ll bring the telescopic lens and hope for a clearer day.

Well, I’m back at work today after having four days off. My usual work week – three days on, four days off. It might sound like a vacation, but I really do spend a lot of time working at the computer on work related projects, Billi Trust related projects and property management for Cape May, not to mention teaching five yoga classes a week & a Friday afternoon babysitting (complete with baby yoga) gig.

Yesterday proved to be a victory over a final detail of getting a “troubled” tenant to move out by January 31! General Release is now signed by both tenants of the unit. Heavy sigh …

Tomorrow – baby picture(s).

Alo & later Maya

With the exception of a little fussiness in the beginning, Alo and I had a good time together yesterday. We started with a walk and then Alo had his first yoga lesson – partner Baddha Konasana (bound angle pose).

Then we played …

And then a very tired Maya was dropped off. Here Maya is giving Alo a piggy-back ride. Sorry it wasn’t very light so the picture’s a little blurry.

Alo

In this interesting picture Robb texted to me yesterday, Alo appears to have pulled out Akuch’s hair. It also appears he may have soiled himself, but after a closer look, I believe he’s got some sort of super hero image (Spiderman?) on his diaper that you can see through his one-zee (I have no idea how to spell that). The bottom line here is that Alo is getting big, and growing every day. I don’t want to know what the grocery bill in that family is going to be in another year and for years to follow.

Looking forward to Friday when we’ll have an “overlap” of babysitting doodies.

Friday with Alo

Alo is getting BIG. I think HUGE is a better word for him, and his hands are humungous (if you don’t know the background of that word, it’s worth Googling – “humungous”).

We went for a walk, and he stayed awake for the most part, checking out everything along the way.

Then after a short crying spell, he fell asleep, so I was able to set him in the office while I got a little work done.
