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.

Above – silly kids having chocolate milk in the fort.
Last Monday, we built this pretty cool fort in the yoga room.
I was able to get Sparty to smile.
I was able to get Maya to smile.
But I’ll be darned if I could get them both to smile at the same time!
I got a couple silly faces.
And once again, only one smile, and another silly one at that!
Then some silly upside down faces.
Bribery will get you everywhere! Sparty was working hard on the candy sprinkles toppings. 
Is Pappa eating worms again?
Sparty’s not afraid of Hogan.
And look! Neither is Maya!
Sweet! And look … Maya’s still wearing the friendship bracelet I brought her from India. When that one’s worn out, I have two more! Different colors, of course.
I’m in LA this weekend at a workshop and will be home around 3pm Sunday (tomorrow).
Bruce and I are getting excited and looking forward to our trip next weekend to meet the new grandson!

In bloom today.
Bear & me sharing a front row seat for the pitiful Chargers game Sunday.
Who is that in the isle standing on her head just to the right of Birjoo at the Birjoo Mehta Workshop (gray shirt/orange-ish leggings)? 
Perhaps Sparty will become a Station 22 fireman one day … ???
I have lots of photos from our afternoon with Maya & Sparty Monday but had to move through these photos first.
Today – a first outing with Sparty to his music class, then an afternoon with Maya at gymnastics and fun.

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!

Meet the ear bud family …
Coast Guard sighting!
A cart from the cart …
Sparty and the bubble machine.
Sparty likes ribs.

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 …

Annie, Jin & Kari
Those look just like the little trains on the cake.
Sandra (Lily’s mom) with Kando.
Horse drawn wagon in Sacramento. They rode the train there the day after the party. Alo likes the train …
Akuch’s first glass of wine in a long time!

What a sweetie!
Evidently there was a free day at the merry-go-round. Notice Alo is on a different animal in each shot. That’s our boy!
Another photo from Maya’s first day at school. 
We get to pick her up from school today so I’ll get to see first hand. Jamie flies in this morning so she’ll get to go with us. Then off to gymnastics!
Here’s a good shot. All the Beatles’ sons! L-R – Ringo’s 2 sons, Paul’s son, John’s two sons & George’s son.
It’s going to be another scorcher. A day to be glad we have air conditioning.

A big day indeed!
And …
You know you live in OB when …
This all started around 3:30am with blood curdling screams from up the street, followed by a woman running down and into a house across the street from us.
Even though I was rudely awakened at an ungodly hour, I still had a nice walk this morning – proof:
And now off to work.
Jamie arrives tomorrow!
