Go green!!

Enough said!! Go green!

I can do it myself!

Is our little girl more advanced than your average 7 1/2 week old? You decide! Check out what Riley can do (with a little help from her mama of course!).

Yay for Riley...what's next, walking?? I know, I know, I'm pushing it!

What's fair is fair

Mommy is a Yankees fan and daddy is a Braves fan. Since a few weeks back I posted a blog with our little Yankee fan, daddy thought it would only be fair to post a blog with our little Braves fan.




Now we can only wonder, which team Riley will really root for once she is older and can make her own decisions. As long as it's not the Red Sox, I think we'll be ok!!

The best thing about fall

A few weeks ago I tried my first attempt at apple picking. Unfortunately that day the sun was blazing and it was very hot, so I didn't actually get to pick any apples. Today we tried a second attempt at apple picking since it was a beautiful fall day. Me, mommy, Juh-juh and gramps, all my cousins and aunts and uncle Darrell and Nelson all went to Dressel Farms to pick apples. I was so excited about apple picking, I wore myself out before I even got there!


No worries though, I eventually woke up (of course after mommy picked all the apples she wanted) and began to partake in apple picking fun.

Here I got to pretend I was a giant ear of corn!


I might be new to this family, but I have come to learn that all my aunts and mommy are really obsessed with taking pictures of us kids. Here I am with my big cousins, Patrick, Keira and Madison.


After making us pose together, we all went into a giant corn maze. I led the way for the first half (ok, my mommy helped a little). Then Patrick led us the rest of the way...we didn't even get lost!


Once again, my crazy mommy was making me do crazy things. I posed on this pumpkin because as mommy said, "it would be sooooo cute." What do you think? Am I soooo cute???

I had the best day with my family. I can't wait until next year when I can walk around and pick my own apples, heck by then I should be able to say apple! I'll start practicing now!

When Irish eyes are smiling

The name Riley is of Irish and Gaelic origin. It's meaning is courageous. And we all remember how she entered the world...we see now how fitting her name is for her.

Riley decided to celebrate her Irish heritage early (well really since this hoodie won't fit her come March).


Now if only they had a hoodie that could help celebrate the Ukrainian side she inherited from Daddy!!

For it's one, two, three strikes you're out!

The Yankee's season may be almost over and the old stadium may be torn down, but one thing is for sure - the Yankees can count on one more fan for next season!!




See you for spring training!

Shout out to all my people!

From Sunday to Wednesday Riley would pick a time where for 2 hours she would scream her head off just to scream. Just to make sure it wasn't anything where she had an infection or was sick, we brought her to the pediatrician. It was not what we wanted to hear, although there were no infections, we had a baby who was colic. After being given some tips on how to help our colic baby, yesterday there was no period of 2 hours where she cried and cried and the same goes for today. She was the perfect angel we brought home. The Clarks say colic, shmolic...just listen to our happy, healthy little girl!!
