A welcome addition

We have had some new additions to the pioneer Hitty family this summer. Real life has gotten in the way of letting our big people help us keep our blog updated, so here we are running behind but happily announcing what we did this summer.

                                      

Hitty Mama was an unexpected surprise to all of us. She was carved by Wanda Harrigan and joined our family at a time when we were most distracted with real life. Much to our delight, as soon as Hitty Mama waddled...er, that is, climbed...out of her packing box that took her safely through the mail system, we discovered that she was in a most delicate condition. never having had an expecting hitty in our home before we were ill prepared for the soon to arrive blessing of joy.

                                    Hitty Mama quickly made herself at home, sorting through all of our belongings, collecting the things she would need for the baby. She even made cloth diapers from some cloth she found. Boy, did that get us to thinking about what it would mean to have a baby in the house. 

                                      
On a day that we least expected it, the new baby made his appearance. Hitty Baby arrived safe and sound. Mama and baby are both doing well.

Hitty Husband and Hitty Mama happily welcomed Hitty Baby.

Now that Mama and Baby are recuperated they spend their days at home, bonding and exploring the woods.

Hitty Baby loves to be carried in his sling, which is good because Hitty Mama never wants to put him down.
