Minneapolis!

We recently took a trip to Minneapolis to gather together with many members of the Rissman clan at Jesse's Uncle Kent and Aunt Linda's house. It was a big event: Mateo finally met his Saba Gadol (Great-Grandfather Abe), who was celebrating his 90th birthday! It also marked Mateo's 9th round-trip on an airplane. He is quite a seasoned traveler for an 11 month old! Too bad he doesn't qualify for frequent flier miles. Here are some pictures from the Minneapolis festivities (featuring photos from Great Uncle Garry & Saba Randy).

What's up dude?

Being cuddled by cousin Anna.

A fun game of pat-a-cake.

Four generations of men.

Saba Gadol loved meeting his great grandson.

Enjoying some fun daddy time.

Wow, what a view from up here.

The 'Rissmoras' pose for a family portrait.

Loud and proud.

Guarding his precious pile of peas.

That was a yummy lunch!

Staring at Saba's giant camera.

"This is an interesting see-through table.  I wonder what it tastes like?"

Soaking up some rays by Lake Calhoun after a good swim.

More fun in the sun.

Back at home, and checking out his hip new Stokke high-chair.

This last photo is meant to showcase the giant washable pocket diapers that Mateo wears at night.  Bulky for sure, but very effective.
