feeding teddy

M shows her motherly instincts feeding her bear. (she had been feeding him real milk, but Amy gave her an empty bottle before taking this video)

She also put him in the stroller and tried to buckle him up. (she's standing behind pushing)

She said MAMA!

Just a few more good ones . . .


View of the Hudson from our roof.

Something else from Amy's class on Sat. This was a frozen mango souffle, tastes like sherbet, and it's really good. This is going to be one that I request to be made at home frequently.


Mary getting ready for a jog (Amy sometimes borrows a neighbor's stroller)


This is our where we live.

Thanks for the new dress Grandma

Winter walk

Sunday evening walk, partly on our roof, partly around the neighborhood.


















Mary enjoyed eating the day-old snow.
















This is my Sam from Cheers hairstyle.

Home Cookin'

Crème caramel. I helped, by stirring stuff and mixing pre-measured ingredients, but I can't really take credit for all of it.

M is a very reverent girl.

Soufflés! Mousse!

Today Amy did some desserts at school. She doesn't like to blow her own horn, so she asked me to make this post. By the time the food got to Mary and me it didn't look this nice, having been stuffed in Tupperware for the subway ride home. But it still tasted really good. Even Mary was able to enjoy a soufflé au fromage.

a romantic candle-light dinner



Dan made an excellent dinner last night.
It was beautifully presented on two new plates!
He went to 4 grocery stores looking for ingredients.
Heads up: you can't find corn dogs in New York.
Thanks Dan.


Our little Valentine.

Getting Dressed


Quite the ordeal when Dan helps.

Daddy


Mary's first coherent, correctly used word with intent came Sunday morning.
"Daddy."
