Mommy and daddy had hotdogs and burgers with all the trimmings for a quiet Fourth of July celebration at home as we continued to wait for the big day to arrive.

We’re now nine days away from Baby P 2013’s expected due date.

Georgia P came nine days early. So mutatis mutandis… Our bags are packed and ready to go.

Georgia P had her some wholewheat fusili with daddy’s pomodoro, topped with grated Parmigiano Reggiano.

And daddy had him a glass of 2011 Langhe Nebbiolo by Produttori del Barbaresco, which showed beautifully.
