Eat. Drink. Live.
Sam got her first taste of the swimming pool at Lake Nanuet. A great little spot, because the whole shallow end is about a foot deep for a long while, which makes it easy to hold a little baby!
Piermont celebrated French Independence Day by closing down the street and serving food, selling trinkets and hiring a band. Because nothing says Bastille Day like a a Dead Cover band. There was also, separately, a carnival in Flywheel Park, hosted […]
A couple of pizzas, a little chicken parm… how can you go wrong? Especially with dining companions such as these:
Somehow, while Greg was hauling dirt out of our driveway, he also found time to make Sour Cherry Farm’s signature dish, Hickory Smoked Chicken. He also put together a salad, following my instructions via text. And wouldn’t you know it, […]
An adorable photo of Sam and Jane at their Music Together class. So sweet!
Sarah and the girls have arrived. We came home from the airport and had supper at the farm. Hot dogs and “torn” for them; leftover lobster rolls for us, eaten later.
The best burgers ever. Sam, unfortunately, didn’t like her avocado quite as much. But Irene gave it the college try. We stuck with burgers. We’re so lucky to have this place.
The bushes in the front fields are starting to bear fruit. Look at this haul! We ate them on cereal, by the handful and in a terrific salad by, yes, you guessed it: Mindy Fox. Blueberries, feta and mint with […]
Sam’s taken to flopping her clothes around whilst on her changing table. It’s pretty cute. Here’s another changing table one. No flopping this time, though:
Srimp and Daddy go get 2-by-4s for the patio. Think she has a future career in homebuilding?
Greg grills some terrific pork chops, we serve them with two great salads, and Samantha joins us at the table for the first time. Welcome, Sam!
Srimp loves to FaceTime with Gramma Weber, but as we can see from this video, we’re beginning to suspect it’s because Samantha likes to look at herself and crack up.
Carol and Roger hosted a lovely party to introduce Samantha to the family. No, not our Samantha! Scott’s Samantha! The weather couldn’t have been more beautiful, and the party couldn’t have been more lovely. Here’s Samantha with one of her […]
My friend Margaret took these beautiful portraits of Sam.
What happens when you get a flat of strawberries and put it on the stroller to rest while you pick something else up? Well, if you’re a strawberry, it ain’t pretty!
Hanging out in bed after watching “The Muppets” together and having a little nap.
We normally try to wait until July 4th weekend to put in the air conditioners. But the weather was truly unbearable, and, well, we had a little srimp to think about, too.
Yes, she’s reached one of those milestones. She’s waving, folks!
Josh and Kris (of weeping fame) set Samantha up with all the gear she needs to start contributing to SCF. We need workers around here!
Boo stayed the weekend at SCF. Not many photos, I must admit, but here are a few of her horsing around with Sam. Happy baby pose!
Sam, just like the rest of us, doesn’t do her exercises without a bit of complaining. Here, she’s pushing up and she’s none too happy that it’s not just a little easier for her.
Sam has really taken to these finger-puppet books, and her favorite is “The Little Fish.” “In the deep and swishy blue, what do little fishes do?” (Yes, I can recite the whole thing by now.) But really, sometimes I wonder. […]
I spent my first Mother’s Day with my mom! She and Leigh cooked pork chops and asparagus from Sour Cherry Farm. I only took one photo. I put it on Facebook saying, “M is for Mother’s Day?” I guess it […]
OK so six months later…. we’re finally looking at turning this food blog around to more about, well, food. Here’s a look at Samantha tasting her first bites. On Mother’s Day 2012, we mashed banana together with avocado and served […]
Baby sleep; Mommy garden: Baby play; Mommy garden:
B-a-b-y. Rock it.
A little fun time in the later afternoon. A couple more photos of Sam, and the Farm, after the jump.
After Sam’s christening, we came back to SCF for a small buffet lunch. I’m still learning how to balance being a mom, a hostess and a blogger, so you’ll forgive me that there aren’t many good photos. We’ll get there […]
Samantha was baptized the first Sunday after Easter at Grace Episcopal Church in Nyack. Our friend Alan, who is a priest, performed the ceremony, and Kelli and Patrick became her Godparents. Sarah and Rory stood up with their parents, too. […]
My husband, Greg, and I are co-founders of SCF, which chronicles what we eat, drink and grow as we raise our daughter on a tiny plot of land in the Lower Hudson Valley.
