Wrapping Up Summer

It's been a rich and full summer at Michael Delving.  A year to the day after cutting up his pack to splint his ankle, the Mayor went and got a new pack.  Here he is showing off the capacity - it easily holds a 3-year old and his Lee.

Here are the three hobbitlings mugging poses in the summer sunshine.  Guns, dressup and lots of fruit were all in heavy rotation this season.

As one season ends, another begins.  Here is the brand-new math curriculum in the dehydrator after someone spilled their water bottle on the bag of school work on the way to the library.  Here's to a joyful fall!

(loudly) "mommy!  NO BREAD!"
