Elwin: Speechless?
Hi Hailey! Sorry – I know I promised to call you last night, but right now I can barely talk. It was my third concert last night and my voice is gone! You know, when I was recording my album, all the singing didn’t really take a toll on me, but I guess that’s because we had a lot of breaks and they were always having to stop and make adjustments, but when you’re up on stage for a concert you’re singing practically the whole time. By the end of the evening last night I was croaking out the lyrics. The audience didn’t seem to notice but today my vocal chords are aching. The chef made me some special tea which helped a little and all morning today I have been sucking on lozenges to soothe my throat. But I am trying not to talk at all. They tell me the best thing I can do is just rest my voice. You know, touring isn’t exactly as glamorous as you might imagine. I promise to call as soon as I can speak again! Love, El

Reid Rabbit: how is he doing?
I love being a big sister! My new baby brother is adorable! It’s really, really fun except when he cries. But when he does cry that’s okay too, because it just means that he needs something. Like a diaper change, or a feed, or he has gas and he needs to be burped. My mom taught me a trick when he needs to be burped. She showed me that you sit down and place him across your lap and then you stroke up his back. When his tummy presses against my lap, that makes him burp! My dad always says that he likes to do it the old fashioned way and holds Reid up to his shoulder and pats him on the back. But the other morning, my dad was all ready to go to work and was wearing his best suit when he decided to burp Reid ‘the old fashioned way’, but when Reid finally did burp, he spit up all over the shoulder of my dad’s best suit! It was really gross! I think I’ll stick to my mom’s way.

Wacky Zingoz is a challenge for your hand/eye coordination.
