My Pregnant Students (& Akuch & Alo!)

Robb sent me these great pictures of Akuch & Alo with Sapna & Veena.

Sapna is one of my (home) students and is about 12 weeks pregnant. I’m looking forward to seeing her through her pregnancy. Her daughter, Veena (3 yrs old), has already attended her first yoga practice where she spent much of her time playing quietly on her sticky mat reading a kids’ book on yoga and doing some poses when she felt like it while the rest of us practiced. It was great having that young energy share space with us!

Below is my PMB Yoga group whom I teach during the lunch hour once a week. Jen Garcia, second from the left, is also about 12 weeks pregnant. This one will be a little trickier, since as time goes by I will need to bring in extra props to make her yoga pregnancy experience a little more comfortable. I’m really proud of this group of yogins. Last week was the first time ALL of them had their feet away from the wall and I have a picture to show for it!

I’m back at work today.

Maya & the Lawn Mower

Sometimes I like to turn on the video & follow Maya around to see where it leads us. Friday after swim …

Bruce and I had dinner with Bill last night at PF Changs in Mission Valley. Dinner was great & Bill was dropped off with leftovers to feed him another meal.

Random Stuff

So I go out to the patio this morning & find that some critter, while crawling along our block wall, knocked off one of our blooming orchids!

Poor thing… I’m preparing to teach at 9am, so I scooped it up & placed it in a temporary holding tank (which could end up being permanent).

Yesterday, Akuch took the day off to take care of some stuff, so I didn’t have Alo. But I did go to swim with Bruce & Maya.

At the pool, there are lots of little pool toys. Maya was playing with a plastic shark that swam away from her & landed at the bottom of the deep end, which is really only about 5′ deep. She insisted that Zack, her swim coach retrieve it, but instead, he held her up to take in a breath & pushed her to the bottom of the pool where she snagged the shark & came up with it pleased with herself that she had her precious shark back.

More to come tomorrow.

School Field Trip

Morgan sent me these pictures from the Zoo this week. The twins were on a field trip and Morgan was a volunteer parent chosen to be in charge of “random children.” hmmm… Can you find the monkey??

Bugs, of course!

Mom/Grandma has sent a couple messages from abroad via comments to blog posts. Look for those & see what she’s up to. You can also respond to her comment if you want.

Note to Mom … Yesterday we had a big lunch at Nati’s with Bill. The whole family was there … except you. You’re missed & we hope you’re having a great time. Be safe & keep the comments coming. Love you!

Today, Alo and Amma. It’s a beautiful day. Perhaps a walk to the beach is in order.

Robb & Alo

Monday …

Short blog today. I’ll leave you with this next picture. A friend of mine who I used to play soccer with went fishing …

It really makes no sense to me either, but Nancy Modaffari really never did make much sense.

Thursday Lunch with Bill? 11:30 – Nati’s?

Head Butt

Above, the result of Ron having an encounter with Maya’s head (with a little concealer hiding the bruising).

Friday, Alo and Amma + a little fresh air + cuddles = a sleepy baby.

After Alo woke up, he had some (not so) quality time with Auntie Jen.

I think I have a similar picture with Akuch holding Maya when she was about that age.

Maya at the Shelter Island playground (with her squeaky shoes):

Maya and Alo (again…)

Although this video is called “Maya at the Park,” it really isn’t.

I’m busy at work today so I’ll have to save more for tomorrow.

Thursday – Maya & “Dora the Explorer”

We watched two episodes on my iPad, and as you can see Maya was 100% engaged!

Then Friday, holding hands became a group activity …

Awe.

Then Alo took a little nap, while Maya ate lunch.

But that picture isn’t sufficient to show how quickly she packed it down!

Almost forgot …

… to post today. Got up, took care of the regular morning stuff, taught & here it is 11:30 already. I have so many things to share, so lets start with Thursday lunch with Bill.

Alo was so good in his car seat the entire meal.

& Maya was a sweetie and behaved herself too.

Bill & Akuch.

Bill, are you gonna eat all that??

The answer was no, by the way. He didn’t even put a good dent in it. The dogs were happy to be the recipient of the chicken I picked out for them after Bill was done with it.
