Ehlana and Ethan:
Happy 20th Birthday, Jessica Bassett!
Happy 3rd Birthday, Donald Reynolds!
Ethan and I haven’t had any involvement in either of those birthdays, but Sophia was in on a family vid-chat with her sister and they had sent gifts; so we heard about that part of Jessica’s special day while it was up to Patrick and their friends to keep her happy for the rest of the day even with all of the work they’re doing now to get ready for final exams. Donald may be a future friend for one or more of our next-gen cousins, but we’re actually mostly including that info in our journal tonight because we only had the two names on our list for today.
As for our own day, we had a fairly-uneventful round of academic adventures without much outdoor time thanks to some showers that kept things damp even if it wasn’t raining all of the time. The damp outdoors had everything to do with our choice to work-play at the lab or archives after school; we had fun with that for a couple of hours; and then we were home in time for dinner with Mom and Dad ahead of game night at the Inn. We had a blast with our family and friends while at the Inn; didn’t win any titles for our family tonight; and I’ll mention that Ethan might have had more fun than most of us thanks to Naomi because she was more-interested in making happy memories with Ethan ahead of the Grade Eight trip next week to Washington! She wasn’t done with that when we left the Inn, and that’s why we took Silkie for a walk while seeing Naomi and Aiden to their homes. Yes, Ethan is still grinning from his goodnight kisses with Naomi, but let’s not tease him about that too much; since Aiden might resemble my brother right now too – whether he’s sleeping already or not! ;^)
Moving along, Mom did a Magi lesson with us after we got home again; bath or Jacuzzi time followed that; and we’ve kept the bedtime computing to a minimum tonight because we want to get some sleep and re-charge ahead of our last school day of the week and the weekend. Cassie and Michael are already getting started on their last full work day in Russia as we’re getting ready to crash and nap. Their Thursday included two charity site visits, a business luncheon, and a dinner with the leaders of a business-charity project. They went out to play for a little while after that and checked out the local music scene with some new friends, but it is still wet and cool in St. Petersburg; so they haven’t done as much sightseeing as they would have liked to do while there. Cassie doesn’t expect that to change for their Friday, so we might not have much more news from them through until they get back to our country by Sunday morning. They will, by the way, need to do that with a couple of indirect flights thanks to the travel restrictions to Russia, but they also game time zones on the way back; so that will off-set the extra flying hours and flights.
Stay tuned for our weekend adventures news; and we’ll call it a night now and go get some sleep.
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
