Happy 7th Birthday, Valerie!
Ethan:
Mom and Dad had a change of plans surprise
for us today. We worked on chores this
morning; got cleaned up; and then hit the road for Crystal Springs and the
birthday party that the Malloys were having for Valerie – an afternoon visit to
SportsFusion; fast food dinner; and then we went to see ‘Abominable’ at the
theater. Valerie’s having a sleepover
with some of her friends, but we headed home after the movie; it’s been a long
day; and I’m ready to crash and nap now – so I will.
Ethan – out!

We loved getting to play with the Malloys
today while helping to celebrate Valerie’s birthday. SportsFusion is more-fun as we get old enough
to do everything; though Ethan helped out with Marcus a lot; so he didn’t get
to do as much as the rest of us. Fast
food dinners are never worth writing about; other than the guilty admission
that we like going to those chain restaurants despite knowing that basically
nothing on the menu is good for us.
Fortunately, Magi Masters of the Light can
heal ourselves; and avoid permanent damage from those foods! ;^)
Moving along, I thought that Abominable was
adorable; I’m glad that we got to see it on a big screen instead of at home;
and that was an awesome way to wrap up our visit to the city. Valerie was a bit disappointed that we couldn’t
stay for the sleepover, but we have church in the morning and Dad has homework
to get done tomorrow after taking today off; so staying the night wasn’t really
an option for us anyway. I should add
that Valerie and her friends might have been more-interested in having Ethan
stay than me, but let’s not make a big deal of that; or Naomi might not let him
go to visit Valerie again – or at least not do that without her going along
with us.
The drive home was uneventful; so all that’s
left to write about is news from Cassie and Michael. We have one more family birthday this weekend –
Michael will be nineteen tomorrow. Part
of his birthday celebration was today; and included tickets to the college
football game. Being at the game is sure
to have Tim thinking about playing for their school team again, but he’s a bit
busy with his engineering and mechanic’s classes again this year; so that won’t
happen – even if the football coaches might be very interested in mid-season
replacements if they knew just how good Michael and Tim really are. They were going out to dinner tonight too,
but we don’t have any details yet; and don’t expect to get any before tomorrow
morning because Cassie’s plans for the rest of the night are not kid-rated; and
won’t be reported here.
Okay, I’m ready to sleep now too; that’s
all I have; and it’s time to cuddle with Silkie and call it a day.
This is Ehlana Proctor; coming to you live
from what is now my past!
