The Malloys headed home today sometime
after lunch, and despite the rain in the forecast; it ended up being a pretty
nice day for Terry’s work – and then the co-ed baseball practice was on for
tonight too.
I have lots of news for today; but let’s
start from the beginning.
Tai Chi by the river was fun; and Terry
came out to watch us with Marcus when the baby wanted to play after his
early-morning feeding anyway. That was
entertaining; and so was breakfast.
Michael stayed for that, and again skipped his morning weight training
so that he could spend the extra time with me – and with the Malloys too. We were out of the loop for the school time
part of our day; but I had a surprise waiting for me when I got home from
school.
Two surprises!
Grandma and Grandpa came home from their
winter trip early so that they could be with us for Uncle Adam and Aunt Leanne’s
anniversary tomorrow; and for Mother’s Day on Sunday. They were at our house when I got home, since
Aunt Leanne was at the office with Dad; and they sprung the surprise on her
when she stopped in for some reason that was totally a set-up for that
surprise.
We ended up having dinner together; and
then I was put in charge of kid control while the parents went to the park for
their first ball practice of the year.
The playground isn’t finished yet; so we took some toys and games along
with us to play. Grandma and Grandpa
came to the park with us for a while; but went home with Aunt Leanne so that
they could help with Zack when she ran out of steam. I was kept busy, since I had Ethan, Ehlana,
Naomi, and Aiden; but we had fun too.
Hannah’s subbing on our team for Aunt Leanne this summer; so I’ll likely
have the same four kids to watch every Wednesday. Eli and Hailey had other sitters for the
practice; but we’ll see if I get them now and then too.
All of that bonus action today has meant
that my early bedtime plan for tonight has gone out the window; and that’s why
I’m keeping this update shorter than I normally would – though I probably
shouldn’t skip all of the fun little details that went into our happy little
family reunion and the dinner entertainment that was Grandpa’s story time for
his grandkids. Even though it was
getting late by the time we got home from the park, Mom still did Magi lessons
with Ethan, Ehlana, and me after taking two days off. That’s why it was heading toward midnight by
the time I climbed into bed with Mandy and my computer and finally got started
on my family business work and language studies.
That all went well-enough, but took hours
to get caught up on everything; so I decided to skip the archive studies for
tonight. I’ll have to catch up on that
too; but I would have fallen asleep if I’d tried to do it tonight. There isn’t anything important to report from
my email and computer checks tonight; so let’s wrap this up so that I can have
my nap before getting up to do it all again.
Oh – I almost forgot! There was one other news story from around
town and school today – Amy and Jared found out that she’s pregnant with their
second baby!
Yeah for them – and the White and Spencer
families!
Okay, we’ve got that anniversary
celebration tomorrow, and Rowen and I will have our baseball practice too – if it
isn’t rained out; so I really need to get started on that nap now. Hopefully we’ll have as amazing a day as we’ve
had today, but that’s all I have for now; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
