From Sand to Snow!

That Caribbean getaway ended with a flight back to the grey-skied, white-grounded, cold-aired Northeast. We don't have any nearby dormant volcanoes with glaciers like Elsie, but there's always the backyard.
It was warmer than it looks. Just a little, though.

February in New York

DKV had to work all weekend (yet again) so Mommy and DHV packed up and headed to New York to see the family. Upon arriving at Grandma and Grandpa's house, DHV promptly set to work rearranging their kitchen cabinets.

These cans clearly belong on the windowsill!
The next day we joined cousin Kaiya for her 6th birthday celebration.

And Grandma helped DHV develop his musical skills...
