Ehlana and Ethan:
Happy 4th Anniversary, Andrew
and Isabelle!
It is still a bit weird to think of
back-to-back anniversaries for Andrew and Isabelle compared to Grandpa Grant
and Grandma Eleanor – especially when Andrew and Isabelle were dating first!
;^)
Then again, Grandma Eleanor is only
twenty-nine; so it won’t be much longer before Isabelle is older anyway.
Moving along, we weren’t involved in that
anniversary celebration, and writing the next batch of tests all morning was
far from party time. We have had another
awesome weather day, though, and the forecast thunderstorms didn’t show up –
and might miss us entirely tonight too; so we had an awesome play afternoon
that included a picnic lunch; biking, canoeing, and a couple of cool swims in
the river. We’ve had a quiet evening
since coming home, and aren’t doing a camping night just in case we do get a
storm or two in the area. We did a bit
of studying that was for show around May; added in some ‘real’ studies while
she was busy with Cassie doing some work in the office and having a video chat
with her family back at home in China; and then we just finished a music
practice.
Now it’s time to get some sleep so that we’ll
be ready for our final exams and then our first, unofficial weekend of the
summer. Sure, we technically have a week
of school to go, but that’s really just for the teachers to wrap up their
school year with marking texts, exams, and then doing final report cards; so we’ll
just have a play week – just as we’d normally do at school. We’re overdue for covering current events
news, but that still includes a lot of bad news; we don’t want to go there; and
will leave it to the adult Magi to write about more-serious issues while we
enjoy being kids and not having those worldly responsibilities.
There will be time-enough for that when we’re
older.
This is Ehlana and Ethan Proctor; live from
the hidden home of the Magi of the Light – and May the Magi Force be with you!
