Gloria

That’s my yoga teacher, Gloria. She turned 70 this year!!! I think that just about says it all… PS, that’s not easy.

Here’s Alo with the twins after school Friday.

Spookier than ever

The pumpkins are looking scarier than ever. Rigor mortis has set in & I believe the worms will be working their way in and out of orifices shorty.

The Cordners atop of Cowles Mountain last weekend. What a great day and view! It looks like Morgan is working his way around the sticker on that apple …

Yesterday when I went to pick Maya up for her gymnastics class, here’s how I found Sparty.

And what’s wrong with this picture?

IMG_0544.JPG
For some strange reason Maya was having trouble walking and kept saying “I need help. I need help.” But she made it all the way from the car to class without accepting that help she was requesting.

No, this isn’t the sunset.

It’s the moonset this morning. I will never tire of the view from our house.

Lastly, Alo and friends this morning practicing his “nice” skills. He needs a lot of practice with that skill …

IMG_0547.JPG
Notice his left hand. I think someone glued his finger to his belly button. The finger must’ve gotten stuck in there because he never removed all morning.

Life’s a Beach

Bruce had the luxury of spending some time at the beach yesterday with Akuch, Alo & Maya.

Maya tries to get Alo closer to the water but he wasn’t going for it …

This cheesecake looks a hellova lot better than it tasted. People were nice enough saying it was good, but it was runny and gross. The crust, on the other hand, was the bomb!!

We had a LOT of fun!

Happy Hour

Last Friday Alo and I stopped by after the park for some Moana Drive Happy Hour. I think I like the group photos the best. The more the happier!

Today … My last Thursday music class with Maya. I’ll miss seeing all our little friends, but starting next week the schedule changes and we’ll be doing gymnastics instead.

AND Nati’s with Papa Bill at 11:30, then I’m teaching an afternoon restorative class in La Mesa & an evening “twists” class at home.

OH!! & Robb’s in town this weekend. He arrived late last night.

Pony rides, fire engines & snakes

A last minute decision – Ron called yesterday & asked if we wanted to got to the Harvest Festival at Pt Loma Nazarene. Invitation accepted, and what a good day we had!

It started with a ride on a horse drawn carriage. I didn’t get a photo of the horses, but here’s a photo of what I looked across at.

Then we got to climb into Station 22’s fire engine (nostalgia for me).

Then the pony ride (Alo’s first). Enjoy this video!

Lastly, Alo and Maya got up close & personal with a boa constrictor. Both were unfazed by the friendly creepy crawler.

Birthday Play Date

Happy birthday yesterday to Jennifer – a good excuse for a play date!

What would really be nice is if they could be still for just a very short time so I can take a photo that isn’t all blurry …

Maya didn’t want to share her dolls …

Pumpkin Patch

Ok, so that’s not really a pumpkin patch, but Sparty sure is one happy pumpkin!

Last week Akuch took Alo to get a pumpkin.

IMG_0224.JPG
They came home with the bigger pumpkin, and they’re going to wait for Robb to come down on the 29th to carve it.

Here’s Maya picking out her pumpkin.

YIKES!!

What kind of mother finds humor in flashing her poor, sweet baby boy? If you guessed Jen, BINGO! But he seems content…

Below, Alo and friends enjoy the shade.
