3rd day of First Hand of the Month of Hesius (2) in the year 10,158 CA

Well, my rence of thought....my wee warriors have arrived! Braydon DeShea and Branson Rakin. We have been spending the last of Callie's pregnancy at the cottage. The time spent with my family a joy. Callie says we will have to have the next baby at the beach house and then Jared wants us to have one so we could name the baby after him. Odin the woman just had twins and my brother is asking for more like kids are cupcakes or somthing! The children were all preparing for their brothers arrival. I heard Caleb and Caden thanking Odin for their baby brothers for them in their prayers before bedtime and standing in the doorway listening without them knowing brought a wide grin to my face and quite possibly a gleam to my eyes. The best part....is my youngest boys will not only have me to train them but their big brothers as well and already in my mind I can see the 5 of us in the arena, the four of them trying to bring down their father...and me taking them on! :::has to laugh as he writes::: Come to think of it....all my sons have my brothers for training, as well as Trenton. Who better could they ask for besides their father but their father's blood brother and mentor? Aye, my sons truly be blessed!

After their birth I brought the family back to HRS and Callie has been doing wonderfully healthwise that she was able to roam about very shortly after birthing those bouncing baby boys. It was really great seeing family gathered on the verandah. My Ubara and my brother Jared were present. It was pleasant to finally see Cara, seems her duties as well as motherhood has kept her from spending time with us on rare occasions that family get together. It seems the family gathers less and less but that doesnt mean we dont see or love each other. Jared sent our boys some gifts. I had been so busy that I wasnt aware so when he asked if the bosk riders arrived safely, Trenton and I furrowed our brows and Trenton asked what a bosk rider was. But Callie received them and she proceeded to tell all of us about them. Well, when I got back to our chambers I did see just what a bosk rider was and they were a pair of little rocking kaiilas! I wanted to climb on one myself and ride, they were the cutest! It was indeed a truly thoughtful gift and I will have Callie send both Jared and Alex a thank you for them if she hasnt already done so. I know we thanked Jared personally but Alex too must be thanked. Callie tells me that Korlee was going to keep them safe for when the boys were old enough to ride them. Ok that's not exactly what she said....she said they werent allowed to play with them until she was done with them. But Callie had a talk with her I hope cuz if not I will have to. It seems Katie Brant is still within the city but I have been informed that she will be departing our beautiful shores soon. She was there on the verandah with everyone as well. I did get word of Admin Khil's departure back a hand but Katie has the privilege of coming and going so Im sure we will see her again soon.

Though my duties dont let up and everyday there is always something the EnSword must deal with I do make time for my family. Callie has gotten much of my attention as of late with her being with child and all and the children have had me about more than normal. Caleb and Caden have asked if they could accompany me with my duties and I told them that as soon as I could work out a schedule that would benefit them they could plus it would have to be approved by the Ubar for duties are not to be taken lightly and children aren't always safe within those duties. They really enjoyed tagging along when I allowed them some on-hands training. I look at it more as them just wanting to be around their Da more and I dont mind that at all. And of course, little Korlee piped in she wanted to come along too...oy, that little girl is fearless I tell you! And then she got that scrunched up Chaviva face when I told her she could not. I dont know how Im expected to be stern and disciplinary with that little girl she makes me laugh constantly!
Actually all my children bring joy to my heart. Breanna is fast becoming a little lady and Callie is doing a wonderful job in teaching her proper. She is betrothed to a Rakin and if I know my brother, his son Tyler will not be pleased if Breanna were anything less than a true Gorean woman. I must admit, she does me proud and Trenessa I see as following her closely. Quiet, reserved, obedient....its Korlee I worry about. Oy, that little girl has the makings of a very opinionated lady who does what she will when she wants and its a good thing she has her Da and her Ma to set her straight. If I can stop laughing long enough. No, I am stern with her and she doesn't get away with much with me around. And my boys.....they are fast becoming pillars of honor. They take my advice and those of their elders to heart and truly learn from the men of this city. They will be fine warrior tarnsmen one day. What more could I ask for?
