Ethan:
Well, that’s the news of the day, and Aiden
and I have some video gaming to do while we’re not sleeping at his house; so I’ll
get back to that; and then maybe get some sleep later tonight.
Ethan – out!

Ehlana:
Ethan is just doing that because he doesn’t
want to spend any time thinking about what Mom and Dad might be doing with
their kid-free night. ;^)
Our day started with Tai Chi for two while
Mom and Dad slept in; Ethan and I got started on making breakfast for a gang;
and Dad joined in shortly-after he woke up while Mom got to nap for a while
longer and then get ready for church. We
had help with making a major breakfast from Uncle Adam and Uncle Mark; that
meal was a lot of fun with the Carrington and Everett families – and while we
had a vid-chat with our four favorite college teens. Mom opened some gifts; we eventually had to
deal with the major clean-up; and then we headed for church.
While we had fun with the family part of
the service and then our Sunday school class; the entertainment-level kicked up
a couple of notches with a snack lunch at our house; some park play time this
afternoon until it started to rain; and then a movie and cuddle time in the
living room for most of us – and video gaming for the boys that couldn’t handle
the toddler-friendly show choice. After
the movie; we went over to grandma and grandpa’s house to help them with unloading
the minivan once they were back in town; we went to the buffet dinner at the
Inn for Mom’s birthday dinner; and had a blast with Grandpa’s first travel
stories – along with all of the birthday fun for Mom.
Ethan and I were in on the birthday
kid-free night surprise; so we were happy to head home with Aiden and Naomi
respectively; and Naomi and I watched a movie with her family before coming up
to her bedroom for the rest of the night.
She’s already fallen asleep after our girl chat time; and I’m ready to
get some sleep now too. I’m going to
play in the lab tomorrow morning while it will be cool outside anyway; and then
Ethan and I will be having a play afternoon with our friends.
We do have a fun week planned – even without
any major travel adventures; so stay tuned – there’s sure to be more fun and
excitement to come!
This is Ehlana Proctor; coming to you live
from what is now my past!
