Sunscreen Hair

I've learned over the last few weeks that sunscreen is the perfect "product" for creating some crazy hairstyles.


Some examples:

Rockin' the mohawk with Auntie JJ (Riley's hair is a bunch of different lengths, which all work together perfectly in a mohawk).

Landon and Riley both try out the "just out of a wind tunnel" look in preperation for some fun at the pool.

It was so nice to have so much time together again as a family.

Daddy and baby had a really great time catching up on our trip. Here are some cute pics:

Ireland - Part 2 - Cousin Time

While we were in Ireland, Riley got to hang out with her cousins on the Kinsella side of the family. She got to meet her oldest Kinsella cousin, Ava (Colm's younger brother Brendan's daughter).

Ava, Riley and Jasmine

She also got to play with her cousin Jasmine again. Riley's much more active this time, so they could all "play" together better.

Here is a photo of Jasmine and Riley in the matching outfits their Granny Kinsella bought them when she was in Colorado in March.

Ireland - Part 1 - Plane ride

Riley did really great on our two plane rides to Ireland. We managed to get the bulkhead for both flights, which was great. On the way to Chicago we were able to lay her on a blanket on the ground at our feet for a nap. She also enjoyed just sitting in that place and playing with things - mostly the stuff in the magazine rack!

On the flight from Chicago to Ireland, we were able to get a bassinet that hooked onto the wall (the blue thing below). Riley was almost too big for it and didn't like it at first (and therefore slept on mommy), but ended up sleeping a few hours in it - allowing mommy and Jimi to get a little rest as well.

Loves swimming

I've only managed to get Riley into a pool once so far - and that was at the Holiday Inn in Grand Junction when I was there for work. She loved it though. We have a pool in our neighborhood and have plans to get over there soon!

Granny Kinsella

Colm's mom, Brenda, lost her fight with cancer on Sunday. As tribute, here is a picture of her with Riley from when she came to visit us in March.
We are so glad that she was able to make the trip over from Ireland to meet Riley. She was a wonderful woman and will be truly missed.
