Ethan:
Today really has been a near-repeat of
yesterday – at least for Ehlana and me.
Our morning was so close to the same that the only differences were what
we did at the lab and archives and I have a different morning snack and
drink. We had lunch with Mom; went out
to play for the afternoon; had Naomi and Aiden with us for another easy-dinner;
and then Aiden and I biked with some of the other guys while Ehlana and Naomi
were busy with their ball practice. The
Magi lesson and bath time was the same – including working on the same lesson
to help Naomi and Aiden with practicing and mastering the elements; and now I’m
tired out and ready to get some sleep.
We have had another really great, hot, fun, summer day; so I hope that
we’ll keep doing that all week! For now,
though, I just need to have a long nap; sot that’s all I have for tonight.
Ethan – out!

Ehlana:
News of the day – Cassie and Michael took
the day off; went canoeing for the day; and didn’t invite anyone to go with
them! I won’t scare Ethan by suggesting
that they might have teen-rated reasons for wanting to be on their own while
paddling upriver to wherever they decided to stop and play for the day; but I
can add that we saw them for a bit after they got back before they moved on to
the rest of their play plans; and they definitely had fun today!
So did I – if not even remotely in the same
way. I loved playing at the lab again;
the biking, swimming, and park play time with our friends this afternoon was
great – if a bit hot; and ditto that for my ball practice with Naomi and the
rest of our team mates. The Magi lesson
that Mom did with us was a repeat and practice time, but we always have fun
when we get to do those lessons with Naomi and Aiden; so that was pretty good
too. We walked Silkie while getting
Naomi and Aiden home; Ethan and I needed to hit the tubs again tonight; and now
it’s time for me to get some sleep.
Cassie’s still out with Michael, and Mom
and Dad are still working in the office, but Ethan and I are both getting tired
a bit earlier than normal for us – and that’s likely due to the extra use of
our Magi talents as well as the heat and being more-active with the swimming
and biking. Whatever the reason, I
really do need to rest; since we’re definitely too-old for afternoon naps!
That’s too bad, since I love afternoon naps
– especially if that includes cuddle time with Mom, Dad, or Cassie; but the
good news is that I can still get away with them now and then – like on rainy
days. Ethan could do that too; but would
never be able to admit it to the guys!
Fortunately, neither of us have problems
with reputation-breaking bedtime problems; so I’m going to put my toys away now
and get on with the sleeping part of my day.
This is Ehlana Proctor; coming to you live
from what is now my past!
