Ehlana and Ethan:
Congratulations, Rowen and Tim – you’re married!
Happy 5th Anniversary, Cassie and Michael!
As we’re writing this, Rowen and Tim aren’t married yet but will be this afternoon; and we’ll offer all of those highlights with our next update. We haven’t been able to do much to celebrate Cassie and Michael’s special day either, but then there is going to be a big party tonight; and we can multi-task for the wedding and anniversary – a fact that Tim loves a lot for his future happiness that might annually-rely on remembering this date with help from Michael! ;^)
As for our day-so-far including the rest of the news from last night; we’ve been busy and had fun along with all of the work. Yesterday, that included the afternoon work for setting up the reception pavilion at the Emerson’s; kid control help that was tested now and then by our younger cousins and some of their friends; our hair appointments at the salon or barber shop; and the evening entertainment that included the rehearsal that we didn’t attend while helping out with the kids and the party that followed through until Cassie and Michael split up the couple of honor by midnight. Rowen and her bridal party are at her family home while the guys are at Cassie and Michael’s house.
Naomi is having fun joking about having more fun than any of those adult couples involved in that segregation thanks to her co-ed sleepover with Ethan at her house last night, and that might even be true, but Aiden and I are going to happily keep our mouths shut and leave that kind of fun to Naomi. Ethan is sure to be doing extra blushing today because of that, but the grins suggest that the fun with his girlfriend is worth getting teased about it by family and friends.
Moving along, the usual wedding-day action has been going on around here this morning, and while Aiden and I exercised by the river with Mom and Dad this morning; Naomi and Aiden did their own thing in her back yard before we split up for breakfast with the boys helping Michael and the girls helping Cassie. Now it is time to get cleaned up from the work and kid-control play time we’ve had this morning; we’ll help with getting the gang of kids fed; and then we’ll get ready for our dates in time for the wedding ceremony. As we’ve mentioned; we’re going to miss our ball games this afternoon, but our teams will survive whether they win or lose; so we’re not really worried about that beyond the reality that there will be jokes and blame if our first losses of the season happen because we’re not playing today. We should mention that Brianna and her team won their game this morning and we helped out with some cheer squad support when we could do that for a total of three innings; so we will still at least get one family baseball win today! Before we move on, let’s also mention that the Carringtons hosted a camping night for some of our cousins and their friends last night and they’re going to keep that fun going tonight too, but that’s also partly because the boys wanted to be around the action at the Emersons’ place – and that’ll include for the reception tonight that only some of those kids will actually be at for the dinner and dance.
All of those details can wait for tomorrow too; so that’s all for this report and we’ll wrap this up now and get back to what will surely be the best adventures of our day from now until whenever we get around to some nap time whenever that happens after the reception and party clean-up!
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
