Uncle Adam and Aunt Deborah have had a few busy weeks on the baby front, and they both missed game night at the Inn while taking care of Caroline Carter and her Mom, Ellen. Ethan and Ehlana’s newest future friend and classmate was born shortly before six o’clock, after a day-long labor.
Caroline’s birth was definitely the top news story around town all day; and the Byrd and Carter families in particular were very excited about the new addition to their collective families. I wasn’t involved at all with the medical action today, but I did read the report Uncle Adam added to our Magi project archive; and the Carters are going to be another interesting family for us to study.
Ellen Carter is one of Eleanor Byrd’s granddaughters. She and her three-year old son, William, are both Magi. Her husband, Chris, is a latent non-Magi, and at the low end of the range. Caroline is latent too; but at the high end. Neither Uncle Adam nor I have any idea why William is a Magi while his new baby sister isn’t, but hopefully, some day, we will.
While Uncle Adam was busy at the clinic, I had a good day at school, and then went home to work in the office again while Rowen was busy at the computer store. There will likely be the occasional issue come up between now and Christmas, but over the last two days I have finished all of the holiday projects for my end of the family business; including some very cool new programs that will make a big difference for quite a few of our charities.
Miranda claimed Aunt Leanne for her game night partner; and they went on to win the senior Championship for the week. Rowen and I didn’t even make the top ten for the juniors, but we had Ethan and Ehlana with us for most of the evening while Mom and Dad tried to give Miranda and Aunt Leanne some competition; and we did all have a lot of fun.
Dad had a bit of work to do in the office after we got home, so I helped Mom with the twins until we put them down for a nap in their cribs. I opted for some Jacuzzi time after that, and have been doing my usual nightly computer routine since getting into bed. It’s after eleven now, and I thought about staying up to wish Dad a happy birthday after midnight; but I have a feeling that Mom has other plans for him after they finish the midnight feeding with Ethan and Ehlana that I definitely don’t need or want to know about. In fact, I’m suddenly feeling very, very sleepy; and I really should get a bit of extra rest so I’ll be ready for the birthday dinner and a movie party tomorrow night.
