Above – Colleen McFadden and Monette Kelly circa 1977 (?).

Below, me, Kathy McFadden Monfort (Colleen’s daughter) and Monette Kelly (my mom) after having lunch together Monday at Casa de Reyes in Old Town. Kathy is just as sweet as her mom was.

This was all the sun in the yard Hogan could find. He stayed just outside of the shade to bask. 

View Wednesday morning on my walk with Bear from the foot of Del Monte. As gloomy as it looks, it was such a beautiful view.

On the way to music class Wednesday morning, Sparty wanted to cry, but he didn’t want to cry. He started out… but he stopped before we drove away from the house. We saw a truck, and then a plane, and before I knew it, he was under my spell. It was the best music class with him so far. I think he’s warming up to our Wednesday morning outings. To top it off, he fell asleep in the car on the way home.

He is such a cutie and so sweet, and shy. I love it … he’ll burp and then say “burp.” He really knows a lot of words and understands everything you say to him. There is one thing though … he calls me (& his Pappa) “Pappa.”  I thought there for a while he only knew Pappa’s name, but then I realized he was also calling me the same name. He’ll figure it out. Someday…

Maya waiting for gymnastics class to start watching and thoroughly enjoying Alo’s Skype’d “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.” Later at the house, I played the video again and she sang along with it. So cute!

Blogged on Amma’s (or is it Pappa’s?) iPhone/MacBook with LOVE!
