So many things have happened. But at the same time, little of it yielded surprise.
Violet's first birthday was today, and I was so excited that we had a party for her... even though she probably won't remember it. Gyth, and Rick, and even Dryn gave her quite a few presents! She had a lot of fun, though, and that, in my mind, is what really matters.
Another thing is, and this is before that, before Rick and his wife took a fishing trip some time back, I found out that number two is on their way. There's a local healer checking on me about once a month, and I'm glad for it. Everything's going as smooth as it had when I was pregnant with Violet, which is a good sign.
Dad wrote back to me, too. Said that she was indeed saying a word; Ada means 'father' in Sindarin, so... even though it's not 'Dada' at least she's still referring to him in the same way!
Which reminds me... I think she was picking up on Sindarin back when I stayed... well... when I stayed in that estate. Who was teaching her, then, though... I don't know. Just a thought on it.
Anyway, I should go for now. At least everything's calm and nothing's overly stressful...
