Pool Day in Philly

Today was a nice day of adventures in Philly. Uma, Riis, and I went on a driving adventure and ended up at a super cute trolley diner. We drove through old neighborhoods will beautiful stone houses. We ended the day with a nice dip in the pool and a pj party.

Riis did not feel to great today. She was not her happy self. By the end of the day she felt better and made all sorts of friends down at the pool and in the lobby.

Riis wants to drink the pool.

Yum! Vanilla milkshake!

More Philly.

We are still in Philly and are really enjoying our time.

Uma took us on a Duck tour yesterday and it was a blast. Riis could not take her eyes off of Captain Crash Course, who was a wacky guy with a microphone. We were able to see a lot of the old parts of the city and even went to a cruise in the water. So touristy and so fun!

Day 2 in Philly went well. Mommy went to the conference while Uma and Riis took a tour of the city. Fun was had by all. The big news of the day is that Riis got her first tooth. Her bottom left tooth peeked out today while at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. What a happy little girl.

Day 2 in Port Jefferson with a BBBQ (BabyBBQ) and a Trip to NJ

The past 2 days have been super busy and fun.

We had all my friends over to the house for a bbq and Riis got to hang with all of her girlfriends and Owen (who I have not seen since we left for HI and he was only 1 yrs old.)

Yesterday we took a nice long drive into NJ to visit Nana and Papa. Riis was such a good girl on the 4 hour car ride home. Wow, we were very lucky. I do not think I could have handled a crying baby during our 90 minute bumper to bumper on the George Washington Bridge.

Here are some pictures of our days.

First Day in Port Jefferson

Riis had her first day back in Port Jefferson.
We started our day with a 3 generation, 7 mile run, through Old Field. We ran out to the lighthouse and back. We ended at West Meadow beach and dipped Riis' feet in the Long Island sound. Mema and Mommy promised we would take Riis back to the sand bar to play at some point this week.

After that we hung around the house with Opa, Aunt Amanda, Grandma Lois, Gracie Lue, and Mema. We had a nice time. Gracie Lue is a very jealous puppy and cried more than Riis :)

Next stop was down town Port Jefferson to walk around town and visit Oma at work. Soooo many people to visit who love Riis. We hung out at the park and walked around eating ice cream, just like the tourists.


We went for dinner at Grandma and Grandpa's where Riis had a 3 course meal of sweet potatoes, green beans, and rice cereal. She was a hungry hippo and ate a ton!

 A fun filled day with family, nothing better! Mommy and Riis will sleep well tonight!

Mema, Riis, and Mommy half way done!

June 20, 2011 A Day in Greenport

What a wonderful, fun filled day we had today!
We woke up and tried sweet potatoes for the first time, a big hit! Riis likes them way better than green beans. Grandma and Grandpa let Riis play with her food when she was done eating and Mommy spent the whole day finding food in Riis' little nooks and crannies, totally worth it!

We went to Greenport for the day. Grandpa and Mommy went on a Kayak ride while Riis and Grandma went for a stroll. We met back up at the dock for a picnic lunch. Riis hung out on the blanket and crawled around. We all walked through town afterward and ate ice cream (not Riis.)

We went to Aunt Jeannie and Nancy's for dinner. Riis swam in the pool with Zoe and Desha and went in the trampoline, soooo fun!

The day ended with more sweet potatoes. These ones Grandpa made for us. Riis loved them! She even ate a bunch of green beans. What a good little girl!

Here are some pics of our day:

6.19 Happy Fathers Day

Father's Day in NY

Day 1 of our trip

Today was a great Father's Day! Riis started her day by skyping with her daddy who is still in HI. Grandpa fed her breakfast and we spent the rest of the day hanging with our family. Enjoy some pics and video.

Taking pictures with Grandpa.
