Happy Birthday Eejee

The Mayor was out of town on the official birthday, so Eejee's third birthday was rescheduled to yesterday! Here is the (delayed) birthday boy starting his special day by snuggling with Ollie and Otter.

The hobbits went to the Seattle Aquarium for the day. Much time was spent at the touch pools.

All the hobbitlings watching the river otters at play.

Our otterlings!

The Mayor took Eejee into the gift shop and he was astonished to discover that his stuffed otter was in the gift shop. He kept asking why Otter had a tag on his ear but was delighted that Otter had gotten cleaned up and had come to his birthday party.

The shocking truth came out when we came home, as Eejee discovered that he now has TWO otters.

Happy Birthday to Eejee!

Michael Delving is blessed indeed by our energetic caboose hobbitling!

Overheard

Ela had to go to urgent care this morning to get her foot checked out after someone ::cougheejeecough:: pushed the sofa table over on her. Afterward, the Hobbit Wife overheard this conversation between Ela and Boookie:

B: So, did they put you on that table?
E: Yeah, and they put this heavy blanket over me.
B: It's a lead blanket to protect your body from the X-rays.
E: Yeah, not heavy like they were trying to crush me to death. Just heavy.
B: And then when the X-ray machine started up, I know what you were thinking: "This is it - the moment I get my superpowers!"
E: (giggle) Yeah, kinda.

Incoming Summer!

With the first 80-degree day of the year, the hobbitlings took appropriate precautions to guard against heat exhaustion.

The Mayor and Ela worked on turning old plumbing into wind chimes for Ela's house.

Happy Delving-Versary

On this day, eleven years ago, the Hobbit Wife, Mayor and Boookie got the keys for the home that was to become Michael Delving.

Ela's Birthday

Sunday was Ela's Tenth Birthday and we celebrated with a small party.

 



We love you, princess!

The Mayor's Trip

Last week the Mayor took a trip to Colorado to help some friends build a barn on their new ranch.

May the Fourth Be With You

The Hobbit Wife and the hobbitlings celebrated May the Fourth on the Fifth with a themed feast. The references will only make sense if you have watched the Star Wars videos from Bad Lip Reading (available on YouTube).

Main course was "Psycho Weiners"

Veggie course was "Bushes of Love"

Snackage was "Crispy Bodies by the Door"

Dessert was "Sippin Blue Milk" ice cream
