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

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.

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, are you gonna eat all that??

20140322-113739.jpg
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.

More Alo still being his happy self.

Little ones

Above, Akuch captures the biggest smile of all!

And … Yesterday while watching Maya, I asked her if I could sit on the rocking chair with her, so she turned herself sideways & took up the entire sitting area.

Looks like Amma has to sit on the floor 🙁

Tomorrow – pictures of lunch with Bill from Thursday and more. Today I have an overlap of nanny duties. A couple hours with both Alo and Maya ought to be fun for all of us!

Bruce said he was very close to her in that last picture. Very close.

Lunch with Bill at Nati’s – 11:30? Bruce is sick & I’ll have Maya.

Seahorse, beach & book

Such a big boy riding the seahorse at the park!

Below, Maya spends time with Pappa at the beach.

And Alo reads to his Amma:

Evan is out of the office today, having a biopsy on his lung, a procedure called Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) – biopsy of mediastinal lymph notes. Under the same local, he’ll have another procedure that may enable him to gain his voice back, at least temporarily.

Manouso Manos

When I was in SF, I visited the Asian Art Museum where there was a huge display of ancient yoga artifacts. My most senior teacher, Manouso Manos (whose workshop I was attending in SF), was asked to give a speech on Sunday, March 9, the day after I left SF.

Manouso has practiced Iyengar Yoga for over 40 years, and is one of only two teachers granted the highest level of Iyengar Yoga Certification in the world from BKS Iyengar.

If you’re interested in hearing the talk by Manouso “Journey of Self with Yoga Master BKS Iyengar,” click on the YouTube link below. This video is about an hour.

Tomorrow – Videos of grandkids!
