Dinner at Dering Harbor Inn (OnShore) on Shelter Island

I had a wonderful time having a Saturday night dinner at Dering Harbor with Mamma, Dadda, Mumu and Aunt Linsey and Uncle Larry. The food was amazing as usual.







I am just having a fantastic time at dinner with everyone. Especially after the grilled gnocchi followed by chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream. I have a bit of energy to burn off.

A run on Ram Island with Dadda

Dadda and I had a nice run out to Ram Island to check out the landscape and wildlife. On the trip we watched a Mommy hawk feed her two chicks in a tree top nest. We walked along a pier by the harbor and ran thru wild flowers. Of course on the leg back, I got a little sleepy and fell asleep in the jogging stroller. Mamma was there to when we got home to give me a baba and put me to sleep.



We have been having a great time and look forward to updating everyone with more news.

My First Birthday - July 4th 2007

I had an awesome 4th of July birthday--my first ever! Despite being rained on, I think everyone had a swell time

I had about 20 people for burgers, dogs, pasta salad and of course an ice cream cake. Dad bought a dozen colored balloons, and about 9 birthday balloons. Dad was worried about the wind and made two slip knots to secure the balloons on the deck so they would not fly away. Of course, the slip knots slipped and up and into the trees they went. Dad should have had Uncle Bill the sailor tie the knots.

Everyone that came over was fantastic. And thank you so much for the wonderful birthday gifts. We had Aunt Jennifer, Uncle Bill and Cousin Vaughan, Grandad Ingram, Doug, Scott, Lissie, Ann, Lee Ann, Pavlos, Andreas, Nickitas, Connie, Sean, Harrison, and Georgia. Momma made a wonderful 4th of July gift bag for the kids. We played with gliders, flutes, and other cool really loud noise machines that caused all the parents to cringe.

Overall, It was a fantastic time. Of course Dada had to squirrel away ice cream cake so he could have more later in the night. I guess half the cake was just enough to satisfy his ice cream craving. He must have had a guilty conscience, because the next two days he went biking and running.

I look forward to many more exciting birthdays to come.

Happy Independence Day and look forward to future updates!

Shelter Island Summer Vacation

Yo Yo it's Mac Daddy and it has been some time since I have had a chance to scratch some new verbage on this Blog. I have been highly engaged and have had little available bandwidth. You know, having to assist Paris labor through the challenging stretch behind bars and taxing effort to persuade my g/f Lindsey to stay off the drugs. My girls just can't seem to keep it together and stay out of the media.

My summer vacation has been wonderful. I just heart SI! <---not Sports Illustrated. We have been spending time cruising the island and catching rays in the backyard by the pool. I hang with my posse each morning at Stars Cafe while I chow down on my blueberry muffin, sip my iced coffee and help sling hash with the cooks in the back. Then I have to jet over to pick up the Post to check out Page Six. For lunch or dinner, I usually go hang out at Sunset Beach to get some good eats and fill my belly on the scrumptious eye candy floating around the bar and beach. The alternative is to go over to On Shore Restaurant at the Dering Harbor Inn and have delectable "assortiment de grande nourriture". "Il est magnifique!" Last weekend a pack of cool cats were able came over for some burgers, dogs and pasta salad. We had margaritas, beer and wine to wash everything down. It was a sweet time. It was awesome to see little baby Julia, Rich&Allison, Matt&Liz, Keil&Nora, and Second Cousin Greg. Mama tried to help Greg meet the ladies at Sunset Beach, but she was off her game after downing over 6 planters punches. Greg even had one on the reel, but Mama created a big wake and caused Greg to lose his catch on the line during the late evening.

On July 3rd, a bunch of us slipped over to On Shore for a sunset filled dinner. In between bites the kids played by the fountain and down by the harbor. Everyone seemed to enjoy the meal and the spectacular view.

Thanks everyone for tuning into my blog. Look for my July 4th birthday posting very soon.

Peace
