Vermont

 I took the kids on a short trip to Vermont, with a repeat visit to see some raptors like this snowy owl.
Racing sticks through a culvert. Amazing how these kids love a race.

A hike down Quechee Gorge.






 Who needs a swim suit when you can rock a shirt like Daisy Duke?

 And hours of fun in Joe and Alice's pond.

Blog DHV, old skool style

Our Powershot SD750 remains on the disabled list, getting a mojo transplant or some sort of spa treatment at the Canon factory, so we decided to go post a text-only update of the goings on here in Nu Haven.
It's been busy! We drove up to Vermont to see Great-Uncle Joe and Great-Aunt Alice. DHV rearranged their wooden toys and briefly explored their pond. Click over to Elsie's blog to see documentation from Cousin Elsie's trip just two days later.
Cousin Elsie, Aunt MAV, Uncle LongA, and their loyal hound Vida stopped by last Saturday for some V----g-style chicken on their way to Haddonfield before setting off for the West Coast. Elsie seems to have gained a lot more tone to her roley-poley body and knows how to use a Bumbo.
Earlier this week we drove up to Cape Cod to visit Grandpa Lee and Grandma Stef. The weather was unfavorable but we still got to explore the beach, experience Provincetown, and down some fried seafood.
This weekend Kasey & Ben and their kids, Jimmy and Caroline, drove up from Wilton to check out the house. Tarsha popped up from NYC in her Mini Cooper to make it a full house.
In disappointing news, we found out that HusbanDKV's catholic employer doesn't include infertility treatment in our medical insurance. Who would have thought those Catholics wouldn't want people having babies? It's all more than a little aggravating; for now we'll see if the ovaries have ended their work stoppage, plan on sending DHV's younger sibling(s) to state school, and quietly seethe.

To wash away that bad taste, we'll post some old pictures that never made it to the blog.
The honeymoon!
Take that, you Republican haters! B&B in the Berkshires.
May in Yosemite.
SHV looks small.

V----gs at the Bradford-V----g wedding! Now there are four (!) more.DHV a few months ago.
Stethoscope, or lasso? We hear the ladies love doctors and cowboys.
