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.

Blog DHV Lives!
While our camera is on vacation at the Canon service center, we pressed the video camera into action to capture some assisted two-limbed locomotion. DHV is advancing!

Mohonk vs our Camera
As Uncle Pete would blog, "Mohonk vs our camera!"
This week brought a trip up the Hudson valley to New Paltz,
home of Mohonk family resort. This place was bangin'!
DHV loved exploring the grounds and getting underfoot all the old fogies who were perpetually wandering about, looking for their Aricept.
Here DHV built his climbing muscles on the main stairway.
Grandparent Lindy presided over family dinner. You can't beat buffet gourmet food; HusbandKV tried, and met defeat at the hands of the chocolate bundt cake and something called a chocolate "bombe".
DHV was so happy he even cuddled a bit.
He didn't realize HusbandKV would dress him up like the flying nun!
Hikes are boring when you have to stare at a fat head the whole time!
DHV worked the camera, on location.And sucked down some soy formula.Frogs and snakes inhabited this bucolic pond.That's DHV with his parental unit in front of the Mohonk House. Immediately after this photo the camera took a header off its perch, sustaining career-threatening injuries. Powershot SD750 is on the DL for at least 2 weeks. Who knows what we'll post about until its return.

Lighthouse Point
Thursday we drove over to Lighthouse Point, a beach park free for New Haven residents. DHV whined a bit in the beginning.
So we retreated to the blanket, where HusbandKV earned his keep as a human beach umbrella.
And we filled DHV up with yummy goodness.
And ignored his concerned seaward gaze.
And sent him back out. He was splashing in no time.
DHV gave a big toes up to the beach day!
And practiced his freestyle.
In the end everyone was happy!
