Happy Halloween!

First there was just the regular butterfly: 

And then it turned into a Butterfly-Flower-Princess-Butterfly!

Sandy

So the storm hit NYC.

We made emergency rations (aka muffins),

ate them in a boat,

and prepared alternative lighting in case of a blackout.

We actually came out unscathed, unlike our neighbor's car,

and lower Manhattan, seen here from Brooklyn with no lights.

The definition of delight

The cousins take Brooklyn!

Maeve came to visit for the weekend and Hannah showed her a Brooklyn good time.
