Here's a picture of Boookie from a few weeks ago, asleep in Daddy's chair. The chair is in the kids' room, and Boookie likes to climb up into the chair to snuggle with Favorite and read books.
Here's Ela in an old-fashioned dress that the hobbit wife used to put on her doll, "Letty," when she was a wee lass (the hobbit wife, not the doll).
For reference, the picture below (courtesy of GranDma) shows the hobbit wife, circa Christmas 1983 with her doll "Letty."
This past weekend, the Lloyds and Uncle Matty came over to help with remodeling. Here are Matty and Chad posing with a new hole in the living room wall.
Here's the work crew posing with the front window.
Here's the bundled-up hobbit boy. With three big holes in the wall and the drywall gone, it got quite chilly.
And here's the living room in its current state. The new window allows actual sunlight into the living room and makes the entire room much brighter. The Mayor is taking a night class to prepare for his Professional Engineering exam, but decided that he would fill up any extra time with remodeling the living room. Thanksgiving is the target completion date.

And here are the girls.
And here's the whole family.
Mommie and Auntie Jen took the hobbitlings to the Woodland Park Zoo as a last hurrah for the summer before Auntie had to go back to school. Here's the little hobbitling girl in her zoo outfit.
And here are the hobbitlings on the way into the zoo, each wearing their "zoo hats."
Here's Boookie practising "prowling" at the zoo.
Here he is watching the monkeys.
The little hobbitling princess had the mother of all blowout diapers. Mommie came in to find her virtually swimming in her Princess onesie.
Here's Boookie helping Daddy wash the car. Apu and GranDma gave us SheBe car, so we're selling Gordon the Fizzing Whizbee.
The Mayor has been busy finishing up the room, and here is the finished product.
