Ehlana and Ethan:
Happy New Year 2026!
Ethan has been having fun with teasing me about taking my turn at writing our journals, but it isn’t a big deal to me; since I can type while cuddling with Aiden whenever he and Naomi are with us and he couldn’t cuddle Naomi and do this little job too! ;^)
While it is my first day of taking the update lead, we are also only doing a quick report before our party guests begin to arrive for the rest of the day. Ethan and I are getting the third floor ready for hosting teens and kids while the living room, sunroom, and the rest of the main floor are pretty much ready to go right now except for the cooking that is still ongoing. Since our last update, we had fun with the work we did at the Inn for the New Year’s Eve party set-up; and that was mostly because we did that work with Cassie, Michael, and our best friends. After the Inn was ready for the party, we came home to get cleaned up and ready for our dates; and then we met up with Naomi and Aiden before going on to the Inn with our families.
The dinner at the Inn was amazing; the party that followed included everything from live music to football game watching to party games; we rang in the New Year at midnight; and stayed for both the rest of the party and to help with the post-party clean-up. We brought Naomi and Aiden home with us, but Sophia and Aaron had left earlier and opted for their own, more-private co-ed sleepover. We had a bit of co-ed cuddle time and recap chat, but didn’t stay awake much longer before crashing into nap mode.
We did not get much sleep, but we did sleep in for an hour longer than usual; and skipped our Tai Chi workout this morning. We had a hot breakfast; the teens took care of the clean-up; and then Naomi and Aiden headed for their homes to hang out with their own families while we were put to work here. That pretty much brings us up to now; so let’s wrap this up. Ethan and I will be hosting the teens and kids and helping to keep them entertained – especially the next gen kids. That should be interesting on minimal sleep, but we’ll survive – and have all of those stories for you with our next report. Stay tuned for that; and we’ll get started on those New Year adventures right now!
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
