Ethan and Ehlana:
The top news for today is that some of our favorite people have been traveling, and since it has been cold all day but still with decent weather; they didn’t miss much. We’re happy to have May and Lee here with us tonight; and they’ll be with Cassie and Michael through until they head back to school. Cassie and Michael went to get them – meeting them half-way while Lee’s family took care of the other half of the drive from St. Louis. The other top travel story for the family is Jaimie and Kaitlyn’s trip home. The real news there is that Micah and Jeremy are spending the rest of the week with them and headed out today too. Micah needed to drive as well so that they can drive themselves home on Sunday; and all four teens were very excited about spending New Year’s Eve together – and in the semi-big city!
Compared to either trip; our day has been quiet – at least after we got back together this morning. Aiden and I had fun at Seth’s birthday party and sleepover yesterday. With just the guys around, while we enjoyed some outdoor time around the farm and greenhouses; the entertainment highlights were all video game related; and we took turns playing some of the new games that Seth and other friends got for Christmas or his birthday. We stayed up too-late; didn’t get much sleep; and wrapped up Seth’s party with an early breakfast before either heading home or staying to hang out with Seth and help out in the greenhouses with the chores that the Green family kids and teens take care of every day.
While Aiden and I were busy with all of that; Ehlana and Naomi enjoyed their girls-only night at Naomi’s house. They ended up with four extra friends; and their top entertainments included mini-makeovers and chick flick movies. They stayed up too-late too; so that’s why Ehlana and I are both tired tonight.
Our adventures today were indoors most of the time, and that’s entirely because it got cold last night and only warmed to near-freezing for the high. We still went out for a bike ride with Naomi and Aiden, but we also stopped in for a visit to the lab that ended up lasting for a couple of hours; and then we spent most of the afternoon indoors at our house playing games with some of our cousins and having a long music practice. Cassie, Michael, May, and Lee were home in time for dinner, so Naomi and Aiden stayed for that meal; and then they headed for their own homes when the two older couples headed out for visits with Michael’s family and some friends. Cassie, Michael, and their friends are still out as we’re writing this; so that’s pretty much all of the news we have for today. We’ve wrapped up our day with a Magi lesson with Mom; some family business work; and bath or Jacuzzi time.
Now it’s time to crash and nap, since we don’t expect our favorite collegians to get back until later, and we really are tired out; so, until next time...
...this is Ethan and Ehlana Proctor; live from the hidden home of the Magi of the Light – and May the Magi Force be with you!
