Ehlana and Ethan:
Three sets of our family’s grandparents got home this afternoon from Arizona; so that’s the big news of the day for us!
We had a good day at school, but the weather wasn’t awesome; so we were indoors most of the time. Mom and aunt Leanne spent the morning at Grandma and Grandpa’s house getting it ready for their arrival; and we had a gang over after school to hang out with them – including cousins, aunts, and uncles. They all stayed for an impromptu family dinner, but then they moved on and split up for the rest of the night. We don’t have any holiday guests staying here yet because Violet and Dillon are hosting her grandparents and Aunt Grace has her parents at the Everett home, but that works for us; since we had a lot to get done tonight. We want to get all of our work for the week done by tomorrow night; so we worked hard tonight.
That required ‘normal’ time because of our guest, but Cassie, Michael, and May were busy with their own studying. Rowen and Tim came over to work with them too; so we gave up our usual spots in the office and worked in the lounge instead. We had a music practice too, but not for very long; and we just wrapped up our day with a bedtime chat with our favorite teens and Mom while Dad finished up a last bit of work in the office. The family time was the best part of our day, but the work felt pretty good too; and we got a lot done. Tomorrow is a home day and might end up being a bit weird with extra young adults in the house, but maybe they’ll motivate our younger, prank-prone cousins to focus on their studies and we can all get our home assignments and video lessons done early.
We’ll let you know how that goes for us, but it’s time to go get some sleep – so we will.
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!
