Impromptu babysitting

Ron and Jen dropped the little ones off last night so they could go out on a date.

Sparty arrived fed and happy.

I really like that Maya lets me take pictures of her now … now that she realizes the pictures are FUN to look at!! Notice the dogs want to know and be in the middle of everything she’s up to.

I saved this YouTube video for last. Sparty is well entertained in his bouncy seat.

Those are some chunky legs!!

I’ll be heading to Lake Arrowhead this afternoon for a yoga philosophy and asana (poses) retreat, returning Friday afternoon.

Note to Robb & Akuch: Pappa will be on hand for watching Alo Friday in my absence. There’s no show at the Pt. Loma Library this week, so check with Pappa for a Nati’s rendezvous on Thursday.

Surf’s Up on Max’s birthday

I stole this picture from Morgan’s FB post of the boys with their trophies after the surf contest yesterday. I didn’t make it to the surf contest because of teaching and babysitting, but the picture speaks for itself. Part of that speaking for itself might be that every kid received a trophy??? Just wondering … It’s a great photo though. Definitely annual calendar worthy!

Little Sparty arrived sound asleep in his car carrier yesterday while I was teaching. When he woke up, his little foot found a hole in the blanket.

He was happily being occupied by playing with the blanket with his toes. So I snuck up on him and took this photo through the hole …

He’s starting to be a real person now. He drank his bottle, we played a while, I wore him out, and then he passed out.

Here he is being cute just sleeping soundly.

It’s challenging …

… to get all three grandkids together in one photo looking at (or near) the camera!

While I was teaching yesterday morning, I looked out the window and saw the neighbor took down his work of art. Whew! As of this morning, it’s still gone. We’re hoping it stays that way. Already prospective buyers are looking at the house today.

Technical difficulties

I’m sorry … I’ve had technical difficulties posting from iPhone and iPad the past 2 days which is why nothing’s been posted. I’m at the iMac now hoping this will post. Otherwise I may have to change to a different blog App.

I took the sunset photo Sunday. They sky was so beautiful!

Here are some Alo selfies from Monday.

I can’t wait for my work week to end so I can do it all over again – only one more day left.

Sleeping Beauties (& those awake ones too)

Above – Sparty swaddled and content.

Friday, Alo slept on Pappa’s tummy for over TWO hours!

Then yesterday for over one hour …

That was after having a little snack.

Taking the leap

He did, too. Seconds after I took this picture Hogan “jumped” down to the lower level and was rewarded with a freshly picked rose. Num Num.

Looks like the twins had a good day at the beach yesterday.

Now he’s happy …

Now he’s not …

And to finish the day – a beautiful sunset. Too bad the photo doesn’t capture how really spectacular it was.
