Rohan's Growing

October 22, 2009

Weather - couldn't be better. Low 80's, blue skies.

Rohan had a doctor's checkup yesterday and he has gained another 7 ounces. That plus the 7 that he had gained last week now puts him almost a pound above his birth weight of 6 lbs, 1 oz.

As you can see he is obviously a handsome guy. It's a pleasure for his grandparents to be able to be here and see this early growth. He just doesn't have that newborn look anymore.

Below he's saying where's that lunch you promised me mom?

Below is the bouginvillia (?) in Tracey and Anjan's back yard. It is blooming all around now and beautiful. Nice to look at but really nasty to try and trim. It has really sharp skin piercing thorns about an inch long. What to do with the trimmings is the next problem.

Some cactus along the walking path. So many different kinds all growing naturally here in the valley.

Tomorrow I plan on going down to the Copperstate Flyin at the Casa Grande airport. It's billed as a large event with a lot of forums, aircraft on display and demonstration flights. Looking forward to that. Joan and I made a stop at the Glendale Airport yesterday. It's a nice airport and facilities and just 15 minutes driving time from Tracey and Anjan's and I've decided that when I fly the Cherokee out (a "bucket list" item) that's where I will fly into. It has a 7,100 ft runway and lies just about a mile west of 101 with the huge Glendale indoor football stadium on the other side of 101. Probably gets a lot of personal jet traffic when the NFL games are at the stadium.

All for today I guess - life if good.
