Ethan and Ehlana:
Congratulations to Doug and Alicia Warren and the Warren and Jennings clans – it’s a boy! Welcome to our little corner of the world, Liam Jessie Warren!
Congratulations also go out to Christie and Ray Reynolds and the Reynolds and Carter families – it’s a girl! Ditto for the welcome for Katie Reynolds; and both sets of babies and Moms are healthy and doing well!
Two separate deliveries in a day are rare in our little town, and these stories are going to be news for years to come, since Liam and Katie were born ten minutes apart – at two-forty-seven for Liam and two-fifty-seven for Katie – and that’s early-morning; not afternoon! That made for a busy night and day for Uncle Adam, Aunt Leanne, Aunt Deborah, and all of the parents and grandparents involved. We can add that both babies are home with their families tonight; and we’ll leave the rest of the details for those stories to the Magi involved in the births and the rest of the medical adventures today.
For our day, we don’t really have much news beyond improving weather with a high in the mid-seventies. We’re getting some rain tonight, but that didn’t start until after we got home from game night at the Inn; so that didn’t get in the way of our outdoor activities. We’ve had another non-news school day; we ended up being drafted for kid control after school – in-part because our family doctors and nurse had been working for so many hours by then; and we took our younger cousins and some of their friends to the park for some biking and play time until it was time to gather for a group dinner at the Carrington and Everett homes.
Our dinner break was fairly-short, since by then we didn’t have a lot of time before we needed to be at the Inn for game night. We had fun with both the meal and gaming – though we can also mention that some of our aunts and uncles opted for naps instead of the gaming. That’s why Ehlana and I helped out with getting Zack and Brianna home and into their beds. Naomi and Aiden did the same for Leah and Sebastian – though Aiden mostly went along while Hailey pretended to help Naomi with getting Leah tucked in for the night. Mom and Dad took Caleb and Faith home, but they delivered them to Aunt Grace and only stayed for a quick chat before coming home.
By the time we got home, Mom decided that we shouldn’t work tonight; sent us upstairs for bath or Jacuzzi time; and now we’re winding down toward nap time with our computer checks and twin chat. Our last weekend before Cassie and Michael’s graduation is sure to be busy, so that’s all we have for this report; and now we’re going to call it a night and get some sleep.
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
