lank

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!"

Basement Remodel

On January 2, 2010, the big room in the basement looked like this:

Now on January 1, 2011, the big room in the basement is now a medium room, a pantry (storage shelves plus freezer), and a wine/root cellar (cool room with passive exterior vent).  The medium room still needs some coats of drywall mud before it becomes the family room, but there is now heat in the basement.

Cozy!

Just a quick post to say that the residents of Michael Delving are starting to enjoy the cool weather of fall.
