To Tell The Truth

“Will the real Hogan please stand up?”

These two weren’t nearly as excited as I was about the Germany v Argentina match.

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.

… and exploring the kitchen sink and shells on the window sill.

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.

Robb & Akuch are back!

I just heard from Robb and they’re back from their trip. He said they had a great time, experiencing very cold weather and very hot weather along the way.

Here’s Robb and Alo overlooking the Elephant Seal Reserve.

Waiting patiently

Loyal friend & companion waits (un)patiently, sometimes on the stairs, for me every morning to go for our walk.

Dinner at our house

… and all I have to show for it is this one photo of Sparty resting quietly, temporarily …

He is one chunky baby!

Gramma JoJo sent me these pictures from their day at Kellogg’s Beach.

Another beautiful sunny OB day! I think it’s going to be a great day for carne asada.

Sparty goes for his first swim (as Buster the Lifeguard watches closely) …

Fourth of July

While Akuch, Alo & Robb enjoy San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge, we enjoyed a beautiful, sunny OB day, complete with a morning massage (for me), an awesome World Cup Soccer match between Brazil and Columbia (that was poorly officiated), a couple hours of swim at Ron & Jen’s (Bruce and my first swim in their pool), and then home for Bruce and me to watch fireworks alone on the deck.

Sparty was rather bored with it all.

He slept the entire time we were in the pool. At two months old now, he’s really giving up the smiles and coos. Plus his eyes aren’t cross-eyed any more which is a relief!

Hogan was playing “jungle.”

20140705-112632-41192141.jpg
He’s such a happy tortoise.

This afternoon – The Netherlands v. Costa Rica! I love futbol 🙂
