Delaying Action

While the residents of Michael Delving wait for the arrival of the newest hobbit, his siblings are staying busy with important military operations.

Baby Bump

Seimi came in from playing outside, ran up to the Hobbit Wife and kissed her knee as she was sitting cross-legged, saying "Hi," then ran back outside.  Apparently he thinks any protrusions from the main Mommie body are his baby brother.

Feet!

Daffodil Engagement Redux

Today marks the 11-year Engage-Aversary for the Hobbit Wife and the Mayor.  It also happens to be Maundy Thursday again (the day of the original engagement).  In honor of this auspicious conjunction (which won't happen again until 2025, then 2087, then 2098), we present Daffodil Engagement Redux:

Mystery Solved!

Seimi has been getting sick just about every week, but the sickness hasn't spread to siblings.  The mystery was solved today when the Hobbit Wife caught him sucking on the handle of the grocery cart.  Apparently he decided that's a "thing."  He is currently undergoing training in a hygiene reeducation camp.

Mirror, Mirror

Ela got a mirror on Saturday.  As we were heading to the van, Boookie pointed out the name of the mirror and announced, "Hey - Ung Drill, forged from the shards of Mommie's mirror!"

The torch has been successfully passed on to the next generation.

The Bunker

"The Bunker" got its official sign today, along with the first of what will likely be many danger signs posted on the door.  Cutie Kittie (secret identity General Schwartzkat) has been training for airborne assault with his genuine military surplus parachute.  One more jump and he gets his wings.

And here is Cutie Kittie after his fifth successful jump, posing with the hobbitlings.  Teensy meerkat uniform paratrooper wings were backordered at the military surplus store.
