I have not disappeared...
... I'm just incredibly, absurdly busy. I try to keep up with the f-list, but most of the time I don't have enough dimes* to comment, let alone type up an entry of my own.
So, while real life (TM) holds me firmly in its claws, have two shots of the kids. (Sorry if you don't like kiddy photos.)
Minion and Minion.
(ysilme and anybody fluent in Elvish is going to get the joke at once. For the others, minion is "first-born son" in both Quenya and Sindarin. Couldn't pass this one up, could I.)
The other mini-person!
Incidentally, these pictures also show some of the other things that have been keeping me busy. Happy guessing, or something? Or just have a nice Sunday, as you wish!

* the "spoon" imagery puzzles me, because if you have any spoons, you can clean them up and then you have as many spoons as ever, right? But dimes, those run out. Like, in the old days, when you needed dimes to make public phone calls? And some days maybe you have enough dimes to make an hour-long call to Tokyo, but other days you don't even have dimes enough to call home from school? That makes a lot more sense (to me) than "I don't have enough spoons". Not judging you if you stick to the common saying, just refusing to use it myself.
