Sarah and Wilson and the girls arrived late on Boxing Day. We’ll open the presents tomorrow. Today, Mae and Jane just really want to meet “baby cousin.” And after the kids went to bed, Sarah had some alone time with […]
We spent Christmas morning around the Farm, having coffee by the tree and talking to family members from afar. Here’s Sam, Face Timing with Jessica and Reece: Yes, that’s one of her three Christmas outfits. You think she knows how […]

Greg, Samantha and I took shelter from a sprinkle under a canopy at the bar called the Southwest Porch at Bryant Park. The park is all decked out for the holidays, complete with an ice-skating rink and a big blue […]
We took srimp — that’s what we’ve taken to calling her these days, srimp. No “h” — to the last outdoor market of the season in Pleasantville. We stocked up on all kinds of goodies. Clockwise from lower left: celery, […]
Having a hankering for pizza — good pizza, that is — and having found ourselves in White Plains, we went to Anthony’s. A chain, sure, but a high-quality one, and one where the prices is nice and the service is […]
Greg made up a carol to sing to Sam. It kept her quiet while we were waiting for the doctor. In fact, we think she rather enjoyed it. Here’s another cute photo of Greg and Sam. Related posts: Christmas Eve […]
Mom, Leigh and I took Sam out for her first Sunday brunch at Cafe Barcel this weekend. I had a great latte — — and a terrific dish: Barcel Benedict, with poached eggs and Serrano over brioche. Sam had milk. […]
Sam’s arrival put the kibosh on a Thanksgiving celebration out this year, so Judy and the gang invited us over for a pasta supper instead. It was pretty similar to Thanksgiving, except for the singing. And the turkey. We didn’t […]

Kelli and I are taking on a little Christmas project. Some years it’s Buche de Noel; other years, it’s cookies. This year, it’s stockings. At least we’re hoping it is! We got started the other day at Kelli’s house. Related […]

We got the new PDT Cocktail Book, and shook up a batch of our first victims, the Brandy Crusta. Mom and Leigh came over and we visited with Sam in the living room, enjoying our Turkey Carcass Soup for supper. […]
For our simple supper, we roasted two chickens, threw some potatoes underneath and opened a crazy good bottle of wine, a gift from our friend Lettie some time ago. A little lemon verbena under the chicken never hurt anyone. Greg […]
For Sam’s first trip to the mall (with Gregory!), we had lunch at a brand-new food court stand called Cheese Boy, and took in a 2 p.m. showing of The Descendants. First, the sandwich. A well-made sammy with good bread, […]
For Sam’s first restaurant outing, we walked downtown to have coffee and lunch at Art Cafe. It was nice enough that we could even sit outside. My rice bowl was delicious, too. Sarah and Greg laugh at something funny on […]
