We have been eating leftover chocolate frosting when the hobbit wife isn't home (Boookie loves it when the Mayor gives him "special supwise")
We have been laughing at the way the littlest hobbitling looks after she's had her hair up in pigtails. Boookie laughs and says "Sissy has silly hair!"
We've been going for walks. Boookie has almost mastered the use of his tricycle. He is shown here on the campus of the UW taking a turn with pushing (and steering) himself.
We've been out and about being sweet...
...looking up lovingly at Daddy...
...or whining. This was an "I don't want to hug sissy!" moment.
Uncle Matty came over two weekends ago to help the Mayor install flooring in the living room.
Naturally, since it's Uncle Matty, there was much flashing of boxer shorts.
Ela is shown here playing on the new floor.
She gives the new floor her hearty approval!
This last weekend, the Mayor finally fulfilled the hobbit wife's long-standing dream to have a computer desk with the cords hidden away. The Mayor designed and built the desk himself. You can't see it (which is the point), but under the desk are several shelves containing the router, modem, FM transmitter, and all the associated wiring. The Mayor also cut down a cabinet and installed it above the desk, fulfilling his long-standing dream to have financial papers somewhere more accessible than underneath the laundry basket.
On Friday, we went to Fremont for a fun day. One of the best parts was buying Boookie his very own orange ukelele.
He fell in love with it instantly. Prior to this, he had to resort to playing a plastic shovel whenever he felt the urge to play along to good music.
The Mayor, inspired by Boookie's musical enthusiasm, pulled out his guitar. The Mayor is shown here diligently practicing while Boookie stands in front: cool, poised, ready to rock out. He doesn't have to practice because he already knows all the songs.
And here are the guys, rocking out to Boookie's favorite song "Glory on Display."
