Over the last week, Eejee turned five! We had somewhat of a rolling celebration, with much of it happening a couple days early, when we all went to go play with otters at a local petting zoo. Here is Eejee with two Asian small-clawed river otters, "Archie" and "Jughead."
Seimi and Eejee petting South America capybara, Patagonian mara, Pierce County pygmy goats, and other creatures of exotic and pedantic origin.

Ninja Grammy struck our house the morning of Eejee's birthday, leaving a mylar balloon as evidence of her raid.
The day after his birthday, Cousin M came to grace Michael Delving with his adorable presence!
Oh, yeah - in addition to The Adorable Mr. M, we also got to see Uncle Andrew, Uncle Nick, Aunt Jan May and Grammy at our house!
Eejee opening his present from Aunt Teresa, Uncle Nick, and Mr. M. Super stoked he was to discover this was not ONE but TWENTY bucks!
