Ethan:
Happy 8th Birthday, Sophia!
We’ve had an awesome day. For Aiden and me; that started with Tai Chi
for two by the river; we had breakfast with his parents and sister; and then we
all had a good morning at church and Sunday school.
The news of the afternoon is Sophia’s
birthday party. It was an afternoon-long
event, and some guys were allowed because we came along with our sisters or
families! ;^)
While Sophia had girlfriends – including Ehlana
and Naomi – at her arty, there were more parents and grandparents there too;
including my parents, the Seagers, and Drapers.
We had lots of kids to play with; biking, backyard games. The birthday gifts were done before we sat
down for a barbeque, pot-luck dinner; and then we wrapped up the afternoon with
the cake and ice cream desserts.
Dad needed to get some work done after
that, so Ehlana and I went for a bike ride with Naomi and Aiden; we took Silkie
for a walk after that; and then we’ve wrapped up our day with some studying
before Mom sent us upstairs for baths before bedtime.
I’m in bed now, and while I’m not quite
ready to sleep; I am done with thus update and ready to move on to some bedtime
archives reading – so I’ll get to that right now.
Ethan – out!

Ehlana:
That’s a concise update; and my day wasn’t
really any different – other than our Tai Chi was in Naomi’s back yard; and we
only had her parents with us for breakfast.
Sophia’s had an awesome birthday; this has been a really good day for
all of us; and that’s what is most-important.
We comment on that regularly, but it really
is true for us – that the special moments with the people we love is what
matters most – and makes everything else we do that’s more-serious worthwhile.
I’ll also add that I love my Jacuzzi – and
while I mention that too-often; it’s also what I’m going to get back to
enjoying before it’ll be time to get some sleep.
This is Ehlana Proctor; coming to you live
from what is now my past!
