Beautiful Lancer

I hope everyone fighting right now are able to stay safe. It was an awfully large group that went out this time, isn't it...

For those who are still in the village, can anyone recommend books for young children? I'm going to be looking at the library, but extra opinions are always nice. Jonah's a year old now, and it's about time he learns to speak more.


[Judith is a bit busy this afternoon; first to the library to find some books, then the bakery to order up a cake, or get ingredients if there's no one available. She's trucking Jonah around with her, so feel free to spot her around town. What with Yuri's absence, she hadn't felt like celebrating the kid's birthday, but after a few days of mulling it over, it's about time to give him something.]

It's nice to finally see the snow melting. Hopefully spring isn't too far around the corner, hm?

[Locked from Alexei, just in case]

If anyone's worried about Yuri, he's doing fine. Thank you to those who helped out.

For those at home, I'm sure you've noticed a few changes around the house. Now that Jonah's begun to crawl, I've taken the liberty of 'baby-proofing' a few rooms. It shouldn't get in anyone's way, and I'll be watching him, but if you happen to see him wandering alone- I'm sure you can assume the rest.

I suppose this is rather belated, but- as entertaining as the last experiment's effects were, I don't suppose you could be convinced to make it our little secret?
