Ethan:
There has been some news today and a lot of
fun, but I’ll leave this report to Ehlana; call it a night; and go get some
sleep.
Ethan – out!

Ehlana:
Congratulations, Rebecca and Lucas!
They got engaged overnight, and the girls
in town are very impressed; since Lucas knew that this is the fifth anniversary
of his first date with Rebecca – a fact that Cassie reminded us about this
morning after getting that news from Michael ahead of Tai Chi. That anniversary falls on a Saturday next
year thanks to the leap year; so we’re predicting a late-May wedding for them
too.
While that was an awesome way to start the
day, it kept getting better for us when the Carringtons came over to our house
in time for Tai Chi – and then they stayed for breakfast. All of that put us in a great mood for school
– though we were a bit rushed to get there – or to work or daycare for the rest
of our family; and Ethan and I helped out with that by getting Zack to school
while Cassie took care of taking Brianna to KidZone and Dad and Aunt Leanne
went to the office. We had fun at school
– but not as much fun as Cassie got to have thanks to a pizzeria lunch with the
parents and younger cousins followed by a play afternoon at the park with
Brianna and Faith. We did get in on that
fun thanks to meeting up with them at the Emporium for ice cream treats; Ethan
and I had to get a bit of homework out of the way with our friends at home; and
then we went to the park with Cassie and our cousins to play there until
dinnertime.
Cassie got a break from kid control for a
while before dinner, but while she was getting tired by then, she still spent
time with us during dinner and then at the Inn for game night. That was another blast of fun with a good
turnout now that we’re getting close to the end of the ‘season’ before we’ll be
taking the summer off. When we went home
from the Inn, Cassie stayed for a while to help with the clean-up and then go
with Michael for a visit with Rebecca and Lucas at the pizzeria. We did a lesson with Mom and some studying,
but have come to bed and I’m waiting for a bedtime chat with Cassie. We’re having an early night ahead of our last
weekend with her before she heads back to school on Sunday. Cassie will likely do some work on the family
business or some reading ahead for her classes next week, but at least she’ll
start that early and still get to sleep in decent time tonight.
My lab time is suffering this week, but the
trade-off for the play time with Cassie is worth it; and I’ll be able to get
back to work there next week – or at worst; in a couple of weeks once we’re out
for summer holidays.
Yes, I might be the only kid in town
looking forward to working all summer – Ethan included. ;^)
We’re going to shoot for an awesome
weekend, though, so I’m going to wrap this up; have that bedtime chat with Cassie
soon; and then get some sleep too.
This is Ehlana Proctor; coming to you live
from what is now my past!
