reading

lil' helper

Amy bought m. a little broom since she likes sweeping so much. She's a very organized girl. Besides sweeping, she returns her books to the shelf (really) when she's done reading them, she lines up her stuffed animals in a row, and stands with her back to the wall while waiting for the elevator.

Does it taste as good as it looks?

Depends on who you ask. Amy thought the store-bought crust was terrible, but the ones we had the night before, everyone could agree were delicious.

Walk in the park.

We were meeting Jimmy Dell here, to give him "the process", but he never showed. Oh well...



Mary knows how to enjoy Sunday afternoon walks.

Supporting H&H Bagels

We really like the blueberry bagels they have there, so we do our very best to keep them in business.


Note that M. has the same upper lip scrunch as her mom.

splash!

And some zucchini bread, reserved for anyone who visits us.

Cake

This is what Amy did in class on Saturday. They actually don't taste that amazing, but they sure do look nice.

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 . . .

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.

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.

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."

Flashback- I forgot we took these.
