Ethan:
Life is returning to normal around here –
and isn’t.
For the second part of that; Cassie,
Michael, Rowen, and Tim are getting ready for a trip to take possession of the
townhomes they’ll be renting for the next five years on Wednesday and Thursday;
so the countdown is on for them to be leaving for college.
On the ‘normal’ side of things; Ehlana and
I got back to playing at the lab and archives this morning; we had a play
afternoon with our friends; Aiden and I had our ball practice tonight; and
Ehlana and I have Naomi and Aiden here for sleepovers because we’ve missed just
getting to hang out with our best friends.
Cassie was busy with Rowen and Tim while Michael’s working at the Inn on
his usual days off so that he can have Wednesday and Thursday off; so we used
the lounge for some video gaming; we’re about to watch a movie once we’ve all
gotten ready for what might end up being a camping night in the lounge; and
then we may do the same thing tomorrow except that Ehlana and Naomi will have
their ball practice instead.
I’ll let you know how that goes, but I
guess that’s it for tonight; I need to get back to the having fun with my twin
and our friends; and I’m sure that we will have fun for the rest of the night
too!
Ethan – out!

Ehlana:
I see that Ethan’s covered Cassie’s news –
other than the ‘what’ she was doing today.
Here at home, she worked with Mom on chores around the house and family
business work while we were at the lab or playing with our friends. Once Rowen and Tim were done work; they were
busy packing and getting everything ready to go into Dad’s truck tomorrow. They’ll have a cube truck and trailer too,
but that’ll be loaded up with all of their furniture from Valley View.
Side note – Garrett Wingborough may have
caught Jen Warren; since by all girl chat accounts; they’ve become
all-but-inseparable since going on their first official date on the Fourth of
July! I don’t normally comment on those
stories in my journal, since I am only seven; but Jen is a bit famous around
here for summer romances – possibly-legendary; yet this time seems to be
different.
Moving along, I had fun at the lab; our
play afternoon included riding the trails, swimming, and hanging out at the
park; we had an early, easy-dinner; and then Naomi and I watched Ethan and
Aiden’s practice. We went for another
short bike ride after that; came home with Naomi and Aiden for a sleepover; and
just finished some video gaming in the lounge.
We’ll be watching a movie next, and that will be entertaining for me
because Naomi is going to have some cuddle time with Ethan after having to play
it cool for our cousins over the last week.
Aiden will let Ethan get away with that and keep his secret, but while
he might sit with me while Naomi cuddles with Ethan; he’s not quite ready to
take that step with me – and I’m okay with that. Ethan loves Naomi and will do pretty much
anything for her; but she’s the only one of us to truly be okay with ‘crossing
over’ about five or six years sooner than we should – at least in private.
Okay, she’s been known to kiss Ethan in
public too; but that does risk getting him into trouble with the other guys –
even if all of the adults think they’re adorable.
Naomi’s finished with her turn in Cassie’s
bathroom; so I’d better wrap this up and get back to the fun.
This is Ehlana Proctor; coming to you live
from what is now my past!
