Well, seems like we did it again. Iggy and I are now the parents of not one but 2 children. It's a bit hard to believe really. I never really saw us having any children, but two?
I guess we're actually not half bad at the parenting thing. After all, Malena's going to be four years old within a few days and she's still in one piece.
I look down at our newest addition to the family and wonder how in the gods' name he is so big already. Iggy really wasn't kidding when he said I looked like I'd swallowed a whale in the final month. Esmett is HUGE! And he sure does love to eat.
It's hard not to love him though, all giggles and slobber and that big dopey smile. Iggy thinks he looks like a fat potato. We probably should make the announcements soon, but for right now, I'm kind of enjoying the privacy. I really can't wait for his Aunt Esme to meet him, since we named him after her and all.
We'll need to watch Malena a little more closely around him for now. I already caught her trying to convince one of the servants to trade him at the market for a new stuffed toy. I'd probably discipline her if part of me didn't admire her craftiness. She's going to be a handful. I blame Iggy.

Well. If you call that birdsong.

Relationship Note on Gabriella
Ha! And yet, I am of severe and unequivocal faith that I was the undisputed champion of our noble fete! My memory is like that stone that once pinned my arm and yoked the rest of me inside a cave for a fair dozen moons. Immovable!
I mean, it was moved in the end, lest I be dead by now...
I mean, our drinking challenge what swore me as victor did also involve a dance number at one point that included several well-bred Blanchard stallions? Yes? No?
No problem! This inaccuracy between our proud, stone memories means that we shall have to arrange a rematch. Higher stakes! More stallions!

The ground is too sure beneath my feet. No lift. No sway. I do not know how others endure such a thing, much less consent to dance on such obstinacy.
I can barely sleep when my world is not moving.
She calls to me always, the sea.

Relationship Note on Ignacio
It's been a long time since I wrote in this.....but hey....no time like the present.
That's right....we're back....
Ignacio and I were sent off to Tor on a diplomatic mission some time back quite quickly and suddenly. It was one of the times I had any official business as the admiral of the Torean fleet. It goes without saying that with our lack of letters and writing were busy with dealing with several matters in Tor.
During this time also brought the birth of our daughter Malena. When we first got together we swore we'd never be parents as we were fighters....explorers.....wanting to be free to go as the wind that catches the sails of our ships. I never thought...I'd be a mother...that'd I be horrid at it. However....during my pregnancy I was more and more hopeful and excited. And once I heard that little bundle cry for the first time, I was in love. Her dark girl locks and green eyes....already trouble with her looks. And with being the daughter of Ignacio....we're really in trouble.
We're happy to be back in Arx with our daughter in tow to get back in the swing of things here now.
Oh....I need to have a crib commissioned to match our home here....I should get on that. I doubt Iggy will let her have anything less than a bed of roses to sleep upon if he could.

Never thought I'd be married...like ever. I was content on the seas and on expeditions....didn't think I'd make it this far.
Thanks for being my best friend, my confidante and better half. Also.....thanks for putting up with my antics but I think we're even on that.

Relationship Note on Salvatore
It's been great spending time with my uncle. Even as a child he was one of the few people that got me and didn't scold me as my tutors did. I can't help but think about if things were different and I had stayed home. Where would I be? Would I have followed in my mom's footsteps? Would I have gotten closer to my Uncle Sal and followed in his knightly ones?
But then we talked and he told me how proud of me he was. That I didn't need to follow in anyone's footsteps but my own. It made me feel....happy. But to have been on the field with him would have be great...though when I did tell him I was in Setarco too that's when the over protectiveness came out. Wait until he hears where I've been...it might cause him to fall over.

My uncle is here.....
Someone that has always made me feel proud to be me....is here. I've missed him and gods know I could use him around. I've missed his sense of humor and tenacity. He even threatened to run Lord Ignacio over with a....war elk....if he didn't do right by me.
I think my husband knows what side of the family I get it from now.
