Ehlana and Ethan:
Congratulations Violet and Dillon – you’re pregnant!
That’s our top family news of the day – and helped to make our family-and-friends’ dinner-and-a-movie night very entertaining! Violet and Dillon are getting teased about joining Jake and Stephanie for both the expecting parents and new homeowners clubs, but we’re all very happy too; and they love the idea of having their kids being near the same age as they grow up.
While that news was the highlight of our day, we had a lot of fun last night with our sleepover; and we’re doing a camping night by the river tonight with both cousins and best friends. The highlights from last night were the group Magi lesson with Mom, the music jam session, and the co-ed sofa sleepover. Our ‘home’ schooling today was pretty good; we finished up early; and set up tents for the camping before going to the park to ride the trails for an hour or so. Mom had us home early to help with making dinner; that was something of a party to celebrate Violet and Dillon’s news; and then some of us watched the movie in the living room while Zack and Eli led a gaming session in the lounge.
We’re writing this while getting ready for our camping night; and plan on watching more movies in our tents on iPads or tablets. There will not be co-ed camping because we’ll have younger cousins and friends in boys’ and girls’ tents, but we’ll have fun anyway – and one of us is okay with having the boys busy doing their own thing for the rest of the night – and hopefully not bugging the girls too-much while doing that. ;^)
It’s time to wrap this up and get on with that camping now; so we’ll do that – and probably not get enough sleep to be ready for the fall chores day we have booked for tomorrow.
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!
