Grandma and Grandpa are winging their way toward India as I
write this, and while I wish that I could be on the trip with them; the trips
there, while they’re moving around between India, Pakistan, and Europe, and
back home again won’t be much fun.
They will be happy about missing more winter weather today;
since we’ve had more snow and it’s gotten cold again tonight. That weather didn’t get in the way of our fun
today; but Dad and I will be doing some shoveling in the morning; probably
instead of Tai Chi. That’s the main
reason why I’m going to short-form this update – because it’s already nearly
one-thirty; and I’m going to need to be up again in about four and a half
hours.
So, here we go with that.
My morning started with Tai Chi for one; the rest of my
morning while with the Emersons was fairly uneventful; and when Rowen went to
the store with her parents, I spent the rest of my morning doing chores at
home. Rowen came over after lunch, and
we had a play afternoon that included time with Ethan and Ehlana; and with
Michael and Tim while Michael was on his afternoon break. There was some study time in there for the
four of us who aren’t about to start as unofficial college freshmen next week;
but with NFL playoff games on tap; it wasn’t all that easy to keep Tim’s
attention on our little holiday assignments.
I ended up staying at home for dinner after Michael went
back to the Inn; but Rowen and Tim left then
too, and had their own play plans for tonight.
I’m sure that you can guess my favorite part of the day was when Michael
and I got to have another few hours of alone time; though hanging out with
Ethan and Ehlana until they went to bed was pretty good too – and the four of
us had fun while Mom and Dad were busy with some weekend homework.
While Michael went home before midnight, I ended up doing
some family business work after getting into bed with Mandy; though I needed
the wind down time anyway after that few hours of fairly hot playtime with
Michael. Our next alone time opportunity
may not happen for a while once we’re back in school, but for tonight; I’ll
just be grateful for the fun we have been able to have this week – and for my
photographic memory!
That does cover the basics for today, and I’d rather dream
about the play-time details instead of writing about them; so...
...Live long and prosper, fellow Magi of the Light!
