'Look who just surprised us!!!! Rolled up on his jet ski! Our cameraman @todayshow Matt!!!!' she captioned a photo of them all together.
A month and a half ago, Hoda called into the Today show to announce that she had adopted a second daughter, newborn Hope Catherine.

Look of love: On Sunday, Hoda posted a snapshot of her girls cuddled on the couch in their pajamas while she and her longtime partner Joel Schiffman gaze at them adoringly
Haley was immediately smitten with her baby sister, and right before her first Mother's Day as a mom of two, Hoda opened up about her daughters' special bond.
'They're in love,' Hoda gushed when she called into the Today show for an update earlier this month. 'They're just hanging out. She wakes up in the morning and kisses Hope, and when she goes down at night, she wants to give her a good night kiss.'
The proud mom noted that Haley already sees her little sister as a confidant.
'The other day she said, "Hope's my friend. I was like, "Oh, my God,"' she recalled. 'I just feel like she's got a life partner, and I can't tell you how that fills my heart to know that there is somebody who is gonna hold her hand all the way through life.'
Earlier on Monday, Hoda took her girls to watch a Memorial Day parade and shared photos from the event.
In one image, she is holding Haley while posing with a veteran. Another shows Hope lying in her stroller as she and Haley chat with a bagpiper at the celebration.
Too cute: Last week, the proud mom posted an adorable video of Haley running on the beach, writing: 'Summer here we come!!!'

While enjoying the long holiday weekend, Hoda also posted a snapshot of her girls cuddled on the couch in their pajamas while she and her longtime partner Joel Schiffman gaze at them adoringly.
'My three,' she wrote.
Hoda and her family have spent the past week at the beach, and she has taken plenty of pictures, including a photo of herself with her girls the day after their arrival.
'Hello sisters,' she captioned the image, which shows her holding Hope in a carrier on her chest while hand-in-hand with Haley.
The family is posing on the deck of their beach house, which is facing their dock. Hoda is looking behind her shoulder at the camera, while Haley gives an excited wave.

A few days later, the mom posted an adorable video of Haley running on the beach, writing: 'Summer here we come!!!'
They also met up with some friends during their getaway, including Brittany Schreiber Bosner, the music booking producer for the Today show.
In one group shot, Hoda, Joel, and Haley are posing on a dock with Brittany, her husband, and another couple.
It's the family's first vacation since Hoda became a mother-of-two in April.
Hoda, who was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 42 years old, came out of treatment unable to conceive and believed for a long time that motherhood just wasn't in the cards for her.
Ten years later, she became a mother for the first time when she adopted Haley in February 2017 with the support of Joel. After opening about her desire to adopt another child, they welcomed Hope into their family last month.
'Look, did I ever imagine on Mother's Day I would be saying I'm a mom of two? I mean, never in my wildest imagination,' Hoda admitted on the Today show.
