Ethan and Ehlana:
Happy 14th Birthday, Caroline Carter!
We’ve had a long, busy day that included doing our part to help Caroline to have an awesome day – which is why we’re tired and will be keeping this update short.
It was another cold morning, but sunny, so we still went out by the river for Tai Chi; had a hot breakfast; and then we headed off to school. Special moments for Caroline that included lunch and gifts and treats helped out with making the day fun for all of us; and we also started some new learning modules today too as usual for the week after Halloween. Football and Cheer Squad practices weren’t cancelled for Caroline’s birthday, but the weather had warmed into the sixties by then; so we enjoyed the outdoor time even with the extra work to get ready for our first playoff game on Friday.
This time, instead of going home between practices and Caroline’s birthday dinner and party, we had brought everything we needed with us to school and got ready there after our practices and then headed over to Caroline’s house with all of the other guests that did the same thing. Caroline’s dinner included a finger foods buffet and grilled options; and we split our time between enjoying the meal and offering some kitchen help for her parents and other volunteers. Let’s confirm that Miles did a decent job with gifts and staying out of trouble with Caroline; and we didn’t have any teen drama tonight. After the meal, cakes, and gifts; the evening entertainment included video gaming and movies, but some of us also set up in the dining room for a study session to get our work done too. Yes, that makes us a bit boring by comparison to at least half of our friends, but then we also didn’t still have that work to do after the party! There was some music video time too, but we didn’t do any ‘live’ music tonight; and there was a party time limit on a school night; so everything was fairly-compressed into just a few hours.
Since getting home, we only had a short visit with Mom and Dad without any extra work or a Magi lesson; and now we’re winding down fast toward nap time. Cassie and Michael have been working through their final full day in the American Samoa islands; and they’ll be moving on to Cook Islands tomorrow. They’re still working as we’re writing this; so we didn’t really get much of an update yet. We don’t want to get into any world news tonight. This has been a good, happy day; and we’re going to stay happy for the rest of the night – even if we’ll be sleeping most of that time. We also want to be back to full power by morning for Dad’s birthday; so that’s all we have for this report.
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
