Ethan's and Ehlana's Journals - June 12, 2019

Ethan:

Ehlana and I had lab or archive play time after school; a late dinner; and then play time at the park and junior cousin kid control duty while the parents played baseball.  Tomorrow is play day at school; so that’s all I have for tonight because crashing and napping is next on my to-do list.

Ethan – out!

Ehlana:

Ditto that for me; I love my Jacuzzi; and we don’t have any news from Cassie to report – which likely means that she’s having too much fun with Michael during the five extra minutes she has in her day that isn’t booked with classes and studying. ;^)

Two more sleeps to summer holidays!

Ethan's and Ehlana's Journals - June 11, 2019

Ethan:

I spent the extra time at the lab – in the archives – while Ehlana had to cut her play time there short when it was time for an early dinner and her ball practice.  The rest of our day was pretty much a repeat both at school and home; so I don’t have anything newsworthy to report tonight.

I am tired and ready to sleep, though; so I will.

Ethan – out!

Ehlana:

We have our first ballgame of the season this weekend, so our practice was more-serious; and went pretty well.  Naomi and I hope that our team will have better luck and avoid starting the season with a trio of losses for our family teams; so we’re motivated.  I was happy with the lab time, since I’ll likely be taking a break this weekend and into our first week of summer holidays.

The only news I actually have for today, though, is for Cassie.  Michael’s surprised her with a visit; and Miranda changed up his work schedule so that he can stay there until Sunday morning.  I don’t have any details yet – possibly because they’ve been too busy to chat with us tonight.  ;^)

Okay, we did know that Cassie had a study and dinner plan with one or more of her new study buddies, and she didn’t likely cancel that because of Michael’s surprise visit; so they could still be busy with that instead of anything that I won’t write about here.  I am glad that Cassie has someone there with her for the rest of the week; and then it’ll just be one more week before she’ll be home for a certain double-birthday visit.

I’ll keep you posted if there’s any interesting news from Cassie and Michael that isn’t too-hot to include here, but that’ all for tonight.

Three more sleeps to summer holidays!

Ethan:

We had play time at school along with a bit of work to clean up ahead of the summer break.  Ehlana and I went to the lab after we were set free, and while I could only hang out in the archives until I needed to have an early dinner and then get to my baseball practice; Ehlana stayed longer; and then had a late dinner shortly before I got back from the school.  Add in studying or work in the office, a Magi lesson, and a shower for me; and that’s all of the news for today.

Ethan – out!

Ehlana:

I loved getting to play in the lab today; and we’ve had fun with everything – even the work and classroom clean-up chores.  There really isn’t anything else to add; so that’s all for me tonight too!

Four more sleeps to summer holidays! ;^)

Ethan's and Ehlana's Journals - June 9, 2019

Ethan:

The second-half of our weekend has been quiet, but we’ve had fun too – including an afternoon visit to the lab after lunch and some biking and park play time with our friends while Naomi and Aiden had other things to do for the rest of the day.

We’re having another quiet night at home too; so I really don’t have any news to offer for today.  Sleep is an option now, though, and while we just have a play week ahead of us at school; I’ll go with the extra down time and be ready for all of the fun.

Ethan – out!

Ehlana:

I’ll add that I liked the visit to the lab more than Ethan; though we didn’t actually get much work done today.  Dad got his homework done this afternoon; and the only work we did tonight was our Magi lesson.  The quiet night at home included a family and dog walk; a bit of television; and bedtime Jacuzzi or shower time.

The Cassie update is more interesting.  She was on her own for the morning – though she had some other girls to sit with at church, but then she had lunch for one at an off-campus diner; met up with one of her new friends, Xia, for a study session; and then they met up with Xia’s boyfriend, Marcus, for a bike ride on some of the campus and city parks trails.  From what she told us about her new friends; we’ll guess that Xia and Marcus will be new friends for Cassie and Michael – and for Rowen and Tim too when they go back to school.  They’re into outdoor sports too, along with being in the environmental engineering program; so they’re also into saving the world – if in a different way that Cassie and Michael.

That’s all I have for tonight, but I’m not quite ready to sleep yet; so I’ll move on for some light readying until I am ready to crash and nap.

Five more sleeps to our summer holidays! ;^)

Ethan:

We had fun with the movie, cuddle time, and sleepover last night.  Aiden and I had a pretty good baseball game this morning; but our team lost today; and the jokes about the Brontos being the slowest team in our division have already started.  We helped out with some chores after the team visit to the Emporium for ice cream; played all afternoon with our friends; and then we’ve been on our won with Mom and Dad since shortly before dinnertime.  That was pizzeria pizza, so we loved that; and then the four of us went for an evening canoe ride.  It was time for two of us to hit the tub or Jacuzzi after that; and we’re all having an early bedtime.

That’s it for me; I’m ready to get started on that nap time; so I will.

Ethan – out!

Ehlana:

The Brontos only lost by a run; and that was a come-from-behind win for the Raptors.  That didn’t keep their friends from razzing them, but since Ethan and Aiden have to play normal; they can’t just go out there and do the impossible for kids our age.  We’re okay with the need for that; so it’s no big deal.  Biking and playing at the park this afternoon was great; ditto that for the pizza dinner; and my favorite activity of the day was the canoe ride with Mom and Dad.

Oh wait – I love my Jacuzzi time a lot too! ;^)

We had chats with Cassie last night and tonight; she’s having a good weekend; and has most of her weekend studying done already except for some that she’s saving up to do with another new friend tomorrow.  Everything else is going well; and I’m glad that she’s getting a bit of extra rest this weekend while she can.

That’s all I have for tonight too; so I’ll get back to my ongoing tub time; and eventually get to sleep once I’m wound down enough to do that.
