Below – Visiting Great Great Uncle Jon. Uncle Jon was a character. Really.
The photo below is the other side of the tombstone – Jon’s mom and dad.
Jon’s got a great view!
Photos from Robb, Alo and Kando’s last visit – in Great Grandma’s back yard.
Scooting at Liberty Station.
Super Heros.
Swimming at Ron’s.
Cannon Ball …
Here’s Sparty’s version of a cannon ball …
Christening the new bedroom. This was early on in the project (several weeks ago).
On the drive back to Walnut Creek. I think this In-N-Out Burger is a recurring stop.
Back in the Bay Area on an outing at Knowland Park Zoo, Oakland. Three happy boys. The kids love it there!
I was going through some boxes of photos (and other miscellaneous treasures) in my mom’s garage and came across this classic photo of my dad (on the left) with one of his fireman buddies (nicknamed Suzy). This photo was taken circa 1954, around the time I was born. I remember my dad working on a fire boat when I was very little, but it wasn’t this one. It was pretty cool having a dad who was a fireman. He had a lot of time off to spend with us. He was pretty handsome too.
Mo and Maya, a match made in heaven. Mo is Maya’s gymnastics coach, and these two have created quite a bond. The look on Maya’s face tells it all. They’re looking at a video Bruce took of Maya doing some great feat in gymnastics. I have a lot of great videos I’ll share if I ever get my act together.
I love that smile. She is so proud of herself.
A very special occasion – Andy, Mo, JR and Max came to visit Great Grandma a few weeks ago. We got out the family heirloom Civil War era rifle with bayonet, which was (and always is) a great conversation piece.
The boys have grown up so much since we saw them last. They were perfect gentlemen and we enjoyed their visit tremendously. Word has it they’re coming back to visit again Sunday.
A little one-on-one time with Amma at Lighthouse Ice Cream shop with a walk to the beach.
Silly faces. Note Sparty’s Pune bracelet. During the month of August there’s an India holiday called “brother’s day” where girls give their brothers or someone who is like a brother to them these bracelets. They sell them everywhere. You may remember seeing photos when I posted from Pune. Well, I brought home a whole bunch of them, so there are plenty to last a long time, forever maybe.
Fun times hanging around the construction site …
Creating memories on Amma’s MacBook with LOVE and JOY!
