The last few days

Above – Hogan enjoys his breakfast of romaine, broccoli and hibiscus flowers. He didn’t eat the yellow flowers …

My morning walk yesterday – private beach and lifeguard practice.   

  

Sparty waiting for Amma to help get his shoes off for music class. Class went great this week, btw.  
  

Basil flowers. It’s probably not a good idea to let herbs flower, but aren’t they pretty?

I woke up to a text that our flight was cancelled, so I scrambled and got us on the next flight out, only an hour later. We’ll be off to Oakland later today to see the fam!! Alo. New baby Kando. Oh… & Robb & Akuch too.

The Kids

Above, Alo and his babe Lilly out for a cruise. We get to see him and the new baby this weekend!!

Below, more photos from last Monday with Sparty and Maya.

   
   

Help!! My foot’s stuck!
  

That’s no joke. Her foot was really stuck in the fence and I had to pry it out of there. Pretty funny!

Hi ho, Hi ho, it’s off to work I go … Yes, it’s true. I have to go to work today.

Gymnastics Performance and Goodbye

Above, Maya with her medal and pink flowers.

Yesterday’s gymnastics performance was really good. Here’s the group Maya was in (5th from right).

 Afterwards… 

   
And, of course, the performance.

This morning we said goodbye to Jamie. We had a lot of fun with her while she was here and we were sorry to see her go. Here she is with two extra loads than what she she came here with! 

 Luckily for her an airport worker directed her toward an empty line and then she wound up in pre-check so check in was easy. So easy that she had time to visit the donut bar and get a root beer float donut! 

 Of course I insisted on a selfie! 

 Safe travels!

The Sparts

This post is dedicated to The Sparts, the 3rd grandchild who (poor thing) doesn’t get the attention he deserves on Amma’s blog.
  

Trying to get The Sparts to sit for selfies isn’t as easy as grandkids 1 and 2. He can wiggle and worm his way out of any situation. Maya’s really good at staying in the frame while the phone gets pushed around while Sparty does a good job of avoiding it! I tried my hardest …
  

Sparty showers after getting out of the pool. We’re planning on spending some time at the pool today with Jamie, so I’ll be aiming at capturing videos of The Sparts and Maya swimming.

I’ll get some photos of Jamie too since she should be the star attraction this week. Here she is with Bear at Bermuda beach the other day. Bear’s acting as a surrogate face licker for her while she’s here. 

Jamie: “Why do they call him Sparty? What’s his real name? I don’t even know his real name.”

And finally!

You know you’re in OB when …

It’s nice to be home

It was a nice day yesterday getting unpacked and caught up on grocery shopping and laundry. It was a beautiful, crystal clear day.

Bath time, sent to me from Grandma Jo Jo. How fun! Nice shower cap… & look at those beautiful blue eyes!

I missed these little buggers.

Off to SF

Last night we paid an early birthday visit to Maya since I’ll be gone for her real birthday celebration. We got her a Cinderella dress up dress and accessories and hand me down ice cream cake.

  
I guess she was planning on wearing the dress to bed.
    
 Even Sparty liked the “light up” shoes.

   
Well, I’ve landed & must be on my way.

2015 OB Street Fair

Chili Cook-Off – I wonder if this is the same as the toilet-on-wheels riding, paper reading person float in the last Holiday Parade. 

 

Maya didn’t want anything to do with the mime. Sparty, on the other hand …

  

Super Skaters!

   
 

Num Num, Corndog!

 
I ran into a couple friends from high school.

After the Street Fair we went to the Kids Fair at Liberty Station.

Maya got to meet Cinderella, and also got a hug! 


Then some dress-up. 

  

 

What a happy girl!

 
It was a long day!

Here’s to mud in your eye

And everywhere else!

   
         

Last night one of our babies left the nest, and this morning it looks like the other one may also be gone. I won’t know for sure until I hook up the selfie stick later.
