Yesterday we had Alo and Maya.

One word Maya uses frequently … “Mine.” But hey, she let him use one piece of the puzzle.

But she’s working on that. She actually does really well, and the two of them play quite nicely together. It’s a lot of fun being involved with them and watching them grow.

It looks like Sparty is going to keep those blue eyes!

Eating at Nati’s

Akuch feeding Alo some sort of orange organic mixed fruit and veggie meal.

While Maya enjoys her chicken enchilada, pinto beans and rice.

That’s her “don’t take a picture” face. I saw it coming, so I sneaked the picture just before she noticed.

Afterwards Akuch preparing Alo for an after-lunch walk…

June Blooms

Our Plumeria must be maturing. Normally it doesn’t bloom until late in the season, but this year we have lots of buds & some are already blooming. They smell so good, too!

This little gem has been with us since the first year we moved back to OB – almost eleven years ago (how time flies)! We bought it at the Del Mar Fair, and Bruce swore I’d kill it. We’ll guess what?

These beautiful, durable purple blooms last a long time too!

The birthday peeps singing “Happy Birthday” to themselves …

An embarrassed Maya getting a happy birthday song, too, even though it’s not her birthday …

Friday with Alo

We started the afternoon playing, as usual. We’ve got quite the collection of toys.

Then time for a little nap.

He only slept for about 20 minutes, but still showed signs of being very tired – fussy and wanting to cling to me, so we cuddled a little while and he fell asleep on my lap again, and that little nap turned into a long nap. I guess he really was tired!

I have a busy weekend ahead of me.
