Cousin Alexander's Bar Mitzvah

Mommy's side of the family got together to celebrate Hank's cousin Alexander's Bar Mitzvah. Mommy's brother, Jeremy, held Hank tight - it was his first time to meet Hank. They got along fabulously!

Aunt Ali got her hugs and kisses in, too.
Finally, Mommy's cousin Sharon (the Bar Mitzvah boy's mom), squeezed the newest member of the Richman side of the family tight. Hard to believe that one day, Hank will be a Bar Mitzvah boy, too!

Take Off!

Hank took his first plane ride today and here's the proof!

We headed to the East Coast to spend time with friends and family in both the DC area and Ari's hometown of Wilmington, DE. Flying was a breeze for Hank. That's our happy, go lucky baby boy!

Hank charmed everyone, including the flight attendants.
Let's keep our fingers crossed that the flight home is just as good!

Greenberg/Matz First Camping Trip

For our first family camping trip, we stayed close to the Matz Family Farm (just in case) at a campsite in Nederland.

Ari chose a nice spot for our tent (pictured on the left).

First order of business was letting Hank eat. Sierra did a superb job of feeding Hank his carrots - he gobbled them all up!

After the boys went to bed, it was time to feed ourselves. We cooked up a feast of corn, potatoes, steak and chicken.

And no camping trip is complete without smores for dessert.

For the night's encore, Sierra gave us all glowsticks for a totally psychedelic experience. Then it was off to bed.

In the morning, Hank was all smiles in the tent.

Hank started his day in his daddy's arms.

Then it was time for a morning story.

As appetites built up for breakfast, Hank and Ryder hung out.

Hank finished the morning around the fire with some cuddle time with his Aunt Rachel.

After our bellies were full, it was time for one last hike.

Until next year when we do it all over again!

Pre-camping Family Bonding

While the daddies were out setting up the camp site for our first family camping trip, the mommies and kids hung out at the Matz Family Farm.

Hank got big hugs from Sierra.
He got even more hugs when Aunt Rachel joined the fun.

We can't forget Ryder, who snuck in there, too, to make the cousin trio complete.
Camping, here we come!

Workin' It

Today we had a playdate at Mommy's friend Becki's house. While Becki's son, Luke, was napping, Hank was showing off his tummy muscles.

Hank had such a good time with Becki, he even had to work his smile! Maybe next time we can get Hank and Luke to play together :)

Dog Days of Summer

Now that Hank has dropped his late afternoon nap, we can join our friends at the dog park.

Radar is thrilled that we are joining him (our neighbor, Suzanne has been taking Radar for the past year)!
Even Hank is diggin' getting his feet wet. Gotta take advantage of these last weeks of summer!
