I took yesterday afternoon off to spend a few hours with Alo. After he took a short nap, we played in the BIG playpen.

He sits up so strongly by himself now.

Then we went outside to get some fresh air and watch airplanes go by, where we took some selfies…

He liked that a lot, except for the part when I took my phone away…

Messages to Mom:

According to your favorite neighbor, Scott, there’s a bee hive/swarm in a bird house in the tree just on your side of the property. He said he has a bee guy and will take care of it and asked for permission. I talked to Bruce and we decided to tell him to go ahead with it. I’ll let Cindi know.

**UPDATE** Just got this all taken care of. Cindi has been informed. Scott arranged to have the bee guy there today at 6:45pm. The only problem with this is that most likely you will never see that particular bird house again. It will need to be removed from the property and dissected (dismantled) to remove all the “bee stuff” inside. But the good news is that some innocent person walking by and stopping to admire your beautiful yard won’t be swarmed to death.

Also, Maria said she won’t be able to clean your house just before you return. To stay on schedule, she will be there the Tuesday following your return, which I think is only a couple days later.
