We worked; we played; and now, we’re ready
to get some sleep.
I was tempted to leave this update with
just that first line; but let’s add in a few more details before calling it a
night.
Tai Chi without Michael was just a tiny bit
less fun this morning, but we made up for that with the bonus time while he
didn’t need to be at the Inn for the lunch rush. I spent some time working on the family
business after breakfast, but then Michael and I made up a picnic when he came
over after he was finished at the Inn for the morning; we took Ethan and Ehlana
with us; and went to spend a few hours playing with them at the park. We took their bikes along too so that we
could go for a ride on the main trail with them; and had everything we needed
with us for playing in the water too – or just tossing a ball or Frisbee around.
Our park time was followed by a trip to the
Emporium; and then some more play and swim time back at home. Rowen and Tim joined us for some of that fun;
but then they were off again and doing their own thing when Michael needed to
get back to the Inn again. I helped Mom
with making dinner after they were gone; and the rest of our evening included
me doing some babysitting while the parents, aunts, and uncles were at their
baseball practice. Michael caught up with
me again before the practice was over; and we took Ethan and Ehlana for another
swim after getting home again before tucking them in for the night with
separate girl and guy chats.
We did a joint Magi lesson with Mom after
that; had a little cuddle time outside on one of the benches by the river; and
then Michael went home for the night and I came up to bed. I’m sure that a lot of teens would find most
of that boring – except for the cool Magi tricks part of the night – but Michael
and I both loved spending the time with Ethan and Ehlana today; and let’s not
forget that they aren’t exactly your average three-year old kids.
Anyway, that is pretty much it for
today. Other than our baseball practice
tomorrow night; Michael, Tim, Rowen, and I don’t really have any specific plans
for the day – we’ll probably just wing it.
I am thinking about Rebecca and Lucas tonight, though; and they don’t
get to spend enough time together between his work on the farm and hers at the
Inn. I’m going to see about helping them
out with that little problem if I can, and since Lucas does come to our
baseball practices with his mother and sister; Thursday nights could be a
chance for us to do something together.
I’ll keep you posted, but that’s all I have
for now, and I’m ready for some quality nap time; so, until next time…
…Live long and prosper, fellow Magi of the
Light!
