pool party!

this is our above ground pool.

and these are our water fowl.  we are raising them for their blonde plumage... 

and their cheesy ham bones.

we are also observing the beginning of football season.  here is seimi  behind his offensive line with the sun tucked under his brawny arm. 

the sun gleaming off seimi's helmet head

there is nothing like a cool warm (the temperature just hit 98.6 around seimi) dip on a hot september day!

godliness with contentment is great gain indeed!

the leg room is always greener on the other side of the prison bars.

in other news, our little baby longlegs has officially christened his favorite blue blanket. ladies and gentlemen, please meet "lank."

and yes, we are aware of the irony!

a sight to bring joy to a father's heart

grunge of legend

our faerie princess and her watermelon juice/dirt five o'clock shadow.

our totally ripped man-child and his sun-kissed biceps of awesomeness.

when asked to comment on its new status of "grossest thing ever," our bathtub only wept and refused to have its picture taken. no word yet on how our toilet feels about all this.

one for the fans

Hi There!

Life has been busy, busy, busy here at Michael Delving.  Here are a few things to catch you up on what's happened since January.

Here is Seimi outside for his first snow day.

Here is Bookie Hood posing with his bow.  

 Here is Princess Ela hosting a tea party with her dolls.

 Here is "Boookie Fett."  You can't see from this angle, but he has a "rocket packpack" consisting of a small broom shoved into his shirt.

 Boookie and Ela are best friends and love adventuring together outside and inside.

 Boookie is a huge Lego fan, and Star Wars Legos are a constant theme of conversation.

And last but not least, Mr. Seimi (shay-mee) is finally transitioning out of infancy.  As Boookie says, "Seimi stole all the cuteness from the other babies!"
