***Heirs of the Magi News Flash!*** The annual fall festival is now behind us, and Cassie and Michael are heading out on their fall trip - this time to the South Pacific! They'll miss out on the Halloween fun at home and the rest of the high school football season, but all of that time in tropical paradises will likely be worth those little sacrifices! Some favorite grandparents will be away for adventures in Arizona or elsewhere too, but our favorite Magi staying at home are sure to have a lot of fun anyway. We'll have all of the adventure highlights from home and away right here for you each day; so... ...Visit Witch Falls often to keep up with all of our latest stories; and Happy Reading! P.S.

Ethan's and Ehlana's Journals - January 9, 2023

 

Ethan and Ehlana:

Happy 23rd Birthday, May!

For her special day, Lee and a small gang of her friends have taken her on a three-day getaway!  They did pick up their books this morning before heading to the airport so that they don’t need to try and do that after they get back – and after the residential halls are open again, but we’re sure that they are having non-stop fun now!

Compared to that, our day has been quiet.  Our school day was fun; Ehlana and Naomi loved getting in on all of the holiday gossip; and we jumped right into our next round of learning modules.  It was below freezing this morning, but Mother Nature might have had kids heading back to school, since she seemed very happy; and our highs for the day closed in on the mid-fifties this afternoon!  That’s why we went out biking with our friends after school instead of playing at the lab.

We did go to the lab – that just happened after dinner.  Dad has a lot of work to get done this week, so that was an option for us; and we had fun playing in the lab or archives for a few hours.  After that, Mom did a Magi lesson with us; and now we’re winding down toward bedtime with our usual twin chat and computing.  The New Year hasn’t brought universal peace to the world, and if anything; there seems to be all-new problems to go along with the wars and fighting that are still going so-badly elsewhere.  That isn’t unexpected, but we can continue to hope for better – even when that seems so-unlikely when world leaders of all kinds don’t seem to care about what is best for the vast majority of people.

Getting into a rant won’t change any of that, so we won’t go there – tonight.  The first school day of 2023 has been really good; we’ll wrap this up by being grateful for all of the awesome here at home with our family and friends; and go get some sleep so that we’ll be ready for doing it all again tomorrow!

Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
