Month Two - Week One

Our second month started with me giving birth to our first child.  A darling little girl named Elowen.  She is so tiny, so precious, so adorable.  We couldn't be more proud.  This life we have in Hidden Springs has gotten even more perfect.

My husband also reached his 25 ice sculptures and did a portrait of my pregnant self which seem not to be melting.  Apparently he did learn the magic of non-melting ice sculptures.  This is how he plans on doing family portraits, while I will keep up with painting them.

We also spent a large chunk of money buying a business and a venue.  We bought Hogan's Deep-Fried Diner which we renamed Nightwing's Diner, getting the Deep Fried part of of the name was important to us, let people know that its not all deep fried, introducing perhaps some healthy options to the menu!  We also bought a tiny little out of the way park named Louie Falls.  Its closed for renovations but when we make more money we'll open it again for the public and we're renaming it Elle's Falls, my husband insisted it be named after me.  He's so sweet!

"Rumor Starter" is at it again, less than 24 hours from one of the happiest moments in our life he is spreading rumors that my husband was rummaging through trash cans.  Poor Elowen can't even have here fathers attention cause he had to rush off to city hall (again) and fight this slander. Naturally he won, I think the judge is getting tired of seeing Zar as well and is just dismissing the case.

My daughter received a gift in the mail from an aunt I've never heard of.  I suspect it was our parents accepting the fact we are happy together even if as elves our races shouldn't mix.  A darling little toy, the label has its name as "Snuggles"

Elowen had her birthday by the end of the week and she grew into a darling little toddler.  Light hair like myself, dark eyes like Zar.  She is so wonderful.  Zar has already started his portrait of her, out of ice of course.  I promptly finished a painting of Elowen and before the end of the week she learnt how to make music on the xylophone and was potty trained!  She's so clever.

We didn't get many sculptures and paintings done this week, we were too busy looking after Elowen, but we have a good amount of money saved up so a slow week shouldn't be too terrible!
