Katie and Uncle Heath had a layover at JFK airport on their way back from Italy. Since we haven't seen them since Thanksgiving mommy and Digby decided to go out to see them. Digby got this super-cool tank top that he can't wait to sport once the weather gets really warm. He did some dancing around Katie but was just starting to get sick so wasn't at his happy-go-luckiest. We were still really happy to see them.

The airport...

Long Island
Digby took his first train ride (I guess the subway doesn't count!) out
to Long Island for a barbecue at Abigail and Sean's. It was so nice to
relax in a backyard with a grill and great friends. Digby loved the
doggies and the freedom to run around without mommy and daddy on his
heels the whole time. We also got to congratulate Sean on his recent Obie win for Sustained Excellence of Performance -- he's an amazing actor and so deserving! The food was great and we can't wait to get back out on the island!

Memorial Day...
Here are our own photos of the Memorial Day concert in Green-Wood Cemetery. It was a lovely warm day and perfect for a picnic on the beautiful old grounds. Digby had a great time dancing and playing among the headstones!
Papparazzi...
Again with the news photographers hounding us!! Finally, mommy made it into the newspaper, too ( and the newspaper of record, to boot!).
N.Y. / Region
New Yorkers Remember, or Just Unwind
Green-Wood Cemetery hosted its 10th annual free
Memorial Day concert. This year it featured the InterSchool Orchestras
of New York Symphonic Band, a 50-piece wind, brass and percussion
ensemble that is made up of New York City student musicians. The
concert featured select compositions by Green-Wood Cemetery's permanent
residents Leonard Bernstein, Fred Ebb, Louis Moreau Gottschalk and
other famous composers.

Tour de Brooklyn!
Sunday was the Tour de Brooklyn:
"The Tour de Brooklyn is an exciting FREE fun family bike tour through 18 miles of Brooklyn. Each year the route changes to highlight the diverse neighborhoods of the borough. The tour will be escorted by NYPD as a rolling parade (intersections will be blocked) and will travel at 10-12 miles per hour. This year's tour is an exciting 18 mile ride; we will ride by Brooklyn's waterfronts, Atlantic Yards, Eastern Parkway with a brief rest stop at Maria Hernandez Park, continuing towards East Williamsburg and into the exclusive Brooklyn Navy Yards."

What a great way to inaugurate Mommy's new bike. Digby rode in back of
mommy and was great the whole ride (aside from putting goldfish
crackers down the back of mommy's pants!) and stayed awake for most of
it. There were over 2000 riders cruising the streets of Brooklyn and
shutting down traffic along the way -- very entertaining to watch the
drivers' reactions to the legal ride. This ain't Colorado and drivers
here don't give a snap about alternate modes of transportation! Digby
fell asleep at the end (see him all bent over and leaning on mommy's back?) and missed the Naval Yards, which were very
cool. Mommy did great even though she hasn't ridden in years, and we
are all excited for more rides throughout the summer.
Play date
Scarlet and her mom Cecily came over Saturday morning for a play date (for mommies more than babies, of course!). They did great as toddlers go -- no fighting, mostly sharing. When Digby fell and split his lip Scarlet brought him all sorts of things to make him feel better! No photos of Digby's first fat lip.

Digby's favorite game...
Digby loves to run his cars and trucks down the ramp. We have it set up next to the hall so if he aims well they just keep going!! He's getting three more teeth right now, poor kid. We hope you all have a great Memorial Weekend!!

Bubble bath
Digby had his first bubble bath the other day (well, the natural stuff kinda just foams a little bit). He was so confused, he kept lifting his feet up and out of the bubbles to make sure they were still there. Then he'd put them down, then slowly lift them up to check on them again. Then, after we washed the blueberries off of his face, we read his truck book over and over and over....

Hi from babyland!
Digby's ball rides in style. On our run today we saw dozens of Canada geese and their babies eating by the lake. They were so very cute -- a regular bird herd! I think Digby was asleep...

Striker or defender?
When presented with this new ball, Digby did his best Pele impersonation. We'll have to see how he does on the pitch...
