Happy Father’s Day to all of our favorite
Dads!
Ethan:
Dad’s special day started with Tai Chi for
four by the river; a special breakfast; and video chat with Cassie. Church was fun and short – the annual service
that is intentionally-short for the fathers – and Pastor Martha still leads
that service while her favorite fathers get the day off. Our Dad didn’t get today off because he still
needed to get ready for his week in the city, but we had another special meal
and no work for him – and some of our other favorite fathers – at lunchtime;
and then Ehlana and I got out of his way and went out to play for the
afternoon. We biked the trails, played
with some available friends; and did a visit to the lab before heading home in
time for the buffet dinner at the Inn.
We were just part of a large gang of family and friends for that meal;
had a blast with yet another, special, Father’s Day meal; and then it was time
to wrap up the weekend with a bit of wrap-up work, chores, or lessons before we
headed for our pre-bedtime baths or other activities.
No details on that are required for the
parents; I had a short bath; and Ehlana’s still in her tub. We have a busy week of summertime fun and
adventure ahead of us; so I’m going to wrap this up and get some sleep while I
can.
Ethan – out!

Ehlana:
The work this afternoon and evening didn’t
keep Dad from having a good Father’s Day – and so did we; though we didn’t get
to spend as much time with our best friends as we’d have liked while they were
busy with their own fathers and families.
Our vid-chat with Cassie this morning was good; though I wish she could
have been here today too instead of spending her afternoon studying with her
new friends and then being on her own for the rest of the day.
Ethan’s covered most of the news for today,
but we had cards and gifts for Dad at breakfast – and at least a card for all
of our favorite fathers; Ethan and I cooked breakfast for Dad with some help
from Mom; and the Moms and Grandmothers took care of the lunch work while Ethan
and I were on younger cousin kid control duty instead. We didn’t get to talk to Michael very much
while we were at the Inn because he was too busy, but we did see him; and he’s
both happy to have spent most of the week with Cassie and sad about being home
again. He needs to be here for work and
wedding plans duties that include going to the city for tux fittings tomorrow
night, but at least Cassie will be home next weekend; so it won’t be much
longer before we can spend a bit of time with her in person again.
We’ll keep you posted on the summer and
wedding adventures that are just getting started for us now, but I’ve been
soaking in the Jacuzzi a bit too-long; it’s time to get out; and then get my
hair dried before I head for bed. Ethan
may be ready to sleep, but I’ll need a bit of reading time first – in part
because I’ll want to be caught up on the work progress at the lab before going
to spend time there this week.
That’s all for now, though; so I’m out of
here and back to the ‘real’ world.
This is Ehlana Proctor; coming to you live
from what is now my past!
