Selfie stick

The selfie stick works great. I’m using it for the first time for something other than sneaking peeks at the baby birds.

Yesterday morning, Alo and I did a little Urdhva Prasarita Padasana (legs up the wall).

 
Then we all packed up and went on a field trip. 

  

We went on a train ride.   

 
We fed the animals. 

   
   
   
Then we went on the merry go round. 

    
 
We went around twice…

Then Robb, Bruce & I went to Target to get some baby shower items while Akuch & Alo took a nap. I would be amiss to not include this photo. I had to be very crafty to capture this little gem. 

      
At dinner …

Alo selfies – happy to see his Amma!   

 

He’s still hangin with Ernie.

Alo sleeps in the big bed now and he loves his books. I read him 5 books, all of them with a huge amount of interaction. He knows the names of all the animals, birds colors and objects. His friend, Lily, was there visiting. She was playing with all his toys around him, but all he was interested in was the books. I think for his birthday I’ll get him a pocket protector … Haha

Papa arrived later in the evening and guess what … He read Alo another book!

   
    
 
We went for a short walk this morning to get a cup of coffee and found this little beauty. 

 
The sign below is noteworthy. 

 
Evidently Bear and James are getting along just fine …

The best things in life begin with a smile!

Lynn (my Airbnb roomie) and I met up with Robb, Akuch and Alo for dinner last night at a cute little Greek restaurant called Orexi in West Portal, about ½ mile from the Airbnb where we’re staying. It was so good to see this family again. Alo talked the whole way to the restaurant pointing out all sorts of things of interest, and talked up a storm during dinner.

One of the highlights was during dinner when Alo raised his arms in the air and said with enthusiasm “AMMA.” Just like when they were staying with us and I’d come in the house after work and he would be sitting in his high chair eating dinner.

Akuch is looking good and the baby looks like he’s ready to pop any day now. We had a really nice time with all of them.

Last but far from least, Maya was surprised with a trip to Disneyland for her 3rd birthday. Jen sent this picture earlier in the day & texted me after 9pm that they were still there having a great time.

  
Hugs, kisses & everlasting smiles to all my grandkids!

Incognito

According to Akuch, Alo wasn’t happy about that butterfly.

Look how adorable the little doggie is below, and what the heck is that thing next to it?  Oh dear …  & no, that isn’t Walmart.

  
 

It’s a bird.  It’s a plane.  It’s SuperAlo!!  

Maya – the Queen of Corona.  Almost 3 years old and already following in her mother’s footsteps!  The shame of it all.

Would someone please tell these people Halloween isn’t until October!

Alo at Gymnastics & Plants

Akuch sent me these photos of Alo at gymnastics last week.  It looks like he’s enjoying himself.  

Meanwhile, the Gardner was kept busy this morning planting the plants we purchased yesterday.  The small flower bed is colorful.

 

And the planter box on the west side now has Arabian Jasmine.  These plants will grow to be 4-6′ high and will bush out.  It’ll be a nice hedge and will give the new tenants and Bill some privacy.

  
The Gardner will be filling in the dirt area with some nice looking rocks to keep critters from using it as a depository.

I’m still working on getting rid of this cough but today is better than yesterday. It’s a good thing because soon Maya & Sparty will be dropped off for an all nighter.

Home Again

I’m still struggling with this pesky cough and dizziness. I ended up at the doctor yesterday, and he thinks I’ve got bronchitis. I’m now on antibiotics and resting again today with Bear. She doesn’t seem to mind having me hang around with her all day.

Check out the hummingbird I saw in the yard over the weekend. 

 

We Skyped With Robb Akuch & Alo Sunday night. Had a horrible connection and needed to use our phones for the audio. Alo had a little too much sugar that day & was bouncing all over the place. 

 

Earlier in the week Akuch sent me this photo of Dr. Alo taking the shark’s temperature. At least he found the right end!
