Reunion, grandparents, and a birthday party

The weekend prior to the 4th of July, we took off to Columbus for Chris's 10 year reunion. I knew no-one, but had fun meeting some of his old classmates, and putting a face with names and stories I had heard about. We had fun, and I think Chris enjoyed it more than he expected. It took a little arm twisting to get him to go, but I think it was worth it.


I was also able to take Riley to Columbus that Saturday morning to visit with my grandmother, Granny Ann. We had a great lunch together, did a little shopping, and Riley put on here usual show for her Granny!

We did a first this particular weekend. We left Riley at Chris's parents to spend the week (until Thursday when we returned) with her grandparents, and great grandparents. They graciously :) volunteered to keep her, while we accomplished a laundry list of around the house chores, which were much easier to do without having to chase a little one around. She put on a full show each day, ate them out of house and home, but had a wonderful time.


Cobol, the dog, had to learn he was no longer number one with Pop's. After about day 2, he finally gave us, and allowed Riley to take over his domain of the living room.


Below is Sharpie, the black lab. He's obsessed with Riley, even though we haven't let him be around her so much, because even at over 100 pounds, he thinks he's a lap dog sometimes, and doesn't realize his size. He greets us at the car whenever we arrive with her, and is constantly trying to get to her. He was so happy that they let him "play" with Riley. He just wants to love on her all the time.
As you can see, Sharpie even helped bath Riley in the evenings. He just couldn't let her out of his sight! Too cute!
I'm not always a fan of the 2 piece bathing suits for kids these days, but her GG had to get this, even if it was a little snug. Everyone needs a Tini-weeny, yellow polka-dot bikini!
We returned on Thursday, since we were off that Friday for the 4th of July. The 4th also happens to be my birthday, and Chris's family loves birthdays, or any celebration. So Mrs. Renee went all out with the balloons, decorations, cake and homemade ice cream. It was a fun day and weekend had by all.
