A fundraiser was held for the family at the Brass Horse with a hypnotist show being the main event of the night.

Continued from last week When one of the parties addresses the other they will call each other cousins. If someone dies from the Wolf, the Turtle, the Hawk, or the Beaver Clan, it is said that all the people on that side of the house will be in grief or mourning. It will then be the responsibility of the people on the other side of the house to aid those who are in grief. The people who did not lose anyone on their side of the house are called Roti’nikonkate (they whose minds are strong). The people who are from the clans of the Roti’nikonkate...

Most of the time I am outnumbered in this house. Two against one. Sometimes I even have three opposing but usually it is just two because the boys like to join forces. It is cute when Big Brother tells me that we can’t do that (pick up the toys) because Little Brother will get sad because he likes to have them where he can find them. Lately I have really noticed the difference in their relationship now that Little Brother is cruising along furniture and crawling at the speed of light. It isn’t so much Little Brother watching Big Brother. Now...
