Happy 3rd Birthday, Aiden!
Other than sending a gift for him with
Ethan and Ehlana, I didn’t have any involvement in Aiden’s special day; but my
brother and sister went to his party, and Ethan is staying for a sleepover
while Naomi came home to spend the night with Ehlana.
I spent a little time with them after they
got home while we were all getting ready for bed; but the rest of my late
afternoon and evening was all about my studies and working on the family
business. I’m sure that Ehlana and Ethan
will both have Aiden’s party covered in their journals, so I won’t pass on
second-hand news for that here; but I’m glad that they all had fun while I was
busy working.
The weather was back to fall-normal today,
and we stayed indoors for Tai Chi this morning instead of bundling up to go
outside. It’s a safe bet that our
exercise-by-the-river opportunities are going to be more limited from now until
we’re indoors for the winter; and I’m going to miss being able to do that –
though I was okay with staying warmer this morning. We had a fairly standard school day, and
while the boys still went outside to toss a football around at lunchtime; Rowen
and I stayed indoors – as did most of the girls in our usual group. Cheerleading practice was outdoors, and while
it was warmer by then; Dani mostly had us practice out there to get ready for
the colder night we’re likely going to have at the game tomorrow night – not to
mention that we could get cold with a dash or three of rain.
The guys might actually be wishing for
that, since they have a better record with rainy games than they have for nice
weather matches; but I definitely prefer warm and dry for our
cheerleading. Being indoors and working
in the office was good too; but I’m mostly looking forward to getting a full
night of nap time before getting into the next few days of busy. I’ll probably be sleeping before Ehlana and
Naomi get around to the unconscious time part of their sleepover; but they’re
also likely chatting with Ethan and Aiden on Ehlana’s iPad too.
That’s great for them, but instead of
dragging this update out, I’m just going to wrap this up, put my computer away,
and get started on my good night of sleep plan; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
