Ehlana:
Cassie must have had a good birthday, but I’m
basing that on the lack of kid-rated news from her adventures yesterday; so you’ll
likely need to get those details elsewhere – or not; since that is likely
information that some of us just don’t need to have! ;^)
As for here at home, we’ve had a busy,
mostly-fun day. It was quiet here at
home for Tai Chi and breakfast; our church and Sunday school time was focused
on a theme that was all about love – whether a somewhat more-serious message
from Pastor John about biblical history of love or the kid-friendly version
that included Valentine crafts that can double as bonus gifts for our parents
on Friday. The weather warmed a bit more
today too, so after lunch; Ethan and I went out to play while Mom and Dad
stayed home and worked in the office.
Let’s not comment on how happy they were when we got home again for
dinner; since we don’t believe that was entirely just because we were with them
again.
There are some things that kids don’t need
to know about their parents!
Naomi and Aiden were able to hang out with
us for most of that time, but other friends were out too; so we had a small
gang for the biking on the trails and playground fun – though that group morphed
as some friends moved on and other joined in on the fun. There was some exploring at the park too, but
while some of our friends got dirty and wet with some adventuring too-near the
falls; we weren’t interested in doing that too; so we kept our wandering around
to places that weren’t muddy or worse.
All of the friends that did get slimed also needed to head home early –
though Miles tried to stick it out despite finding out that it wasn’t so warm out
today that being wet wouldn’t be a problem for him.
I won’t be surprised if he ends up sick
within a few days, but then that wouldn’t be a first for him either; and he
seems to think that being sick is a fair trade-off for some time off from
school. It is so nice to have a brother
that isn’t like that at all!
There isn’t much to add for the rest of our
day. We had dinner at home with Mom and
Dad; some hang-out time together; and then it was time to head for our beds
because we’ve had enough fun for the weekend and want the extra sleep. Okay, only two of us are likely going to
sleep early, but that’s too-much information for the kids in the house; so let’s
not go there. Valentine’s Day will be
the theme of the week, but we have some lab, archives, and study days to get
through first; so it should be quiet around here through until Thursday.
Finally, as I wrap this up; we are all glad
that we haven’t had any problems with Gwyneth or any hired guns she may be
hiring since Devon and his team disappeared from our digital radar. We hope that trend will continue for a while
longer, but know that will still be temporary; and that she’ll never give up
and leave us alone forever. I hope that
I haven’t jinxed us on that ahead of Valentine’s Day, but Ethan and I don’t
have any sense of imminent threat from our Dark Magi enemies; so we’ll likely
be okay. That’s all I have for tonight;
so I’m going to put my toys away and get some sleep while I can.
This is Ehlana Proctor; live from the
hidden home of the Magi of the Light!

Ethan:
We’ve had a good day, but I’m tired; so I’ll
leave this update to Ehlana, and since her reports are being filed ahead of
mine this year; you already have that; so we can all move on now – to sleep for
me! ;^)
May the Magi Force be with you!
