Winter 2013/2014

Winter 2013/2014

A century after Nigeria was created as a British protectorate, Cindy, Luke, and Eléa find themselves enjoying the cooler days of the Texas winter.  Elea continues to grow larger, except when she eats magic blueberry pie, in which case she rapidly shrinks.  (Fortunately she always has the antidote at hand, which appears to be the exact same blueberry pie that made her shrink in the first place.)  Luke has been shrinking slightly, due to slouching and vertical pressure on his spinal column.

Below are some photographs that will give the attentive reader an idea of what activities we have engaged in during the past ten weeks.

Sitting in front of an evergreen tree with kin

Celebrating the Neolithic Revolution and the advent of wide-scale animal husbandry...........by default: we couldn't catch the neighborhood squirrels—too fast—so we opted for a trip to the supermarket instead. 

Being a pillow 
acquainting ourselves with girl's best friend



Learning to express our emotions in a healthy and constructive way.


Socializing with other small people



                        Exploring our Russian heritage.



 Engaging in the great American pastime of running without getting anywhere.


Learning about personal hygiene and toleration of relatives.
