Family Golf

The hype and stress of Stacey and Brad's wedding has come and gone, but what's left is wonderful memories, the excitement to see pictures, and GeeGee - who is making the most of her two week visit.

With free time to spare, and all hands on deck, BiBi and GeeGee came over to spend time with Riley and I as Chris was out of town.  After a lovely dinner of grilled cheese and catching up on the day, Riley invited GeeGee up to see his room, and show off where he practices his golf swing.  Not ones to be left out of the fun, the ladies grabbed their clubs (or canes, as the case may be), and everyone got in a round before bedtime.

It's good to know that even though there may not always be enough clubs to go around, GeeGee is prepared for just about anything!

GeeGee's in town

With Stacey and Brad's wedding day approaching quickly, the guests have started to arrive in Pittsburgh and the preparations are being finalized.  And to begin the onslaught of family, GeeGee has started the parade by arriving over the weekend.  Now, we all know how much Riley loves spending time with family, and he had been waiting forever to see GeeGee.

And now that she's in town, we can do fun things like go shopping, read stories and show off all of the tricks that Riley can perform.  And if Riley's childhood and upbringing is anything like mine, he can soon start to expect potato chips for performing these tricks - especially when performing in the pool!

Mother's Day on the move

Happy Mother's Day!  We had an awesome time celebrating today and it was so much fun just to be able to spend the whole weekend together doing whatever we wanted.  It was pretty outside this morning so we packed up the car, strapped on our helmets and hit the trails.  Riley has a new bike seat that lets him co-pilot my bike and we had the best time wheeling along the rivers.  We would talk to each other, point out fun things and sing songs.  With this little assistant, there is no way to get bored on the bike!

We rode along the rivers, rode past The Point, rode through downtown and rode to lunch.  It was nice to go out before the huge crowds took over and we really just had the best time figuring out what to do without having a set schedule.  Riley was so much better this year about wearing his "bike hat' and I think we will be rolling through the city often this summer.  

My favorite part about this Mother's Day was that we got to spend a low-key day together as a family and that's the best gift I could have asked for!

Warm weather

Just a quick post to say how happy we are that the weather is warming up!  Today is the hottest day of the year so far, going up to the mid-80's, which is funny cause it seems like it was snowing just 3 weeks ago.  We love when it's warm so we can take family walks, play outside and eat ice cream, all of which we did after work yesterday.

Riley is happy cause he gets to wear his new shorts and sandals to school and was very excited to show them off to his friends who welcomed him with hugs and toys, as they do every day.  

Hope everyone gets to enjoy the warmth and sunshine as much as we are!

And so I don't feel left out, here's a cute picture of Riley and I from the Yom H'atzmaut celebration at the Science Center the other day when all Riley wanted to do was sit outside and watch the trains go by.
