Spring 1983; age 5 ~ Location: England
Color of the day: Orange
Dad got me a journal in hopes to keep me busy. Almost looks like a leaf, but it feels like leather. How neato would a leafy journal be? Oh, it's also got this really cool tie and huge button-type thing on it. I think I'll practice my letters now...

[Several pages thereafter are covered with various attempts to make letters neater...]

Spring; March 15, 1983; age 5 ~ Location: England
Color of the day: Red...ish
Just found out Mum and Dad are planning a move to France. I was lookin' forward to growin' a garden all by myself! In fact, I kinda did already... We'll be leavin' in about 2 months, according to Dad... I'm not looking forward to it.

Oh! An' I started a bug collection today, too! Mummy was...... needless to say..... not that impressed.

[Ethan has drawn for the reader a rather large sketch of a what could be a beetle ... or a spider missing a leg or two... with a smilie face on it]

Spring; April 20, 1983; age 5 ~ Location: England... for about 14 more days.
Color of the day: light blue
It seems like forever yet yesterday that we've been in England and now we're moving away from home... it doesn't feel right. It's like we're running away. Will the house send Aurors to look for us when it realizes we're not coming back? Mummy one time said she nearly sent for Aurors that time when I was hiding in the hedge. But Dad and I had been playing hide and seek - I couldn't give away me position!

[A drawing of Ethan's current residence follows. For a child of five it's actually pretty good, but it's no Van Gogh.]

Spring; March 8, 1983; age 5 ~ Location: France
Been 4 days in our new home in France. Everything's still packed up, including me colors... so I'm borrowing Mummy's quills. Plants held up well on the trip. I think the bouncing bulb seedlings loved the ride...

June 9, 1983; age 6 ~ Location: France
Today's my SIXTH Birthday! Should be great fun! I thought I seen a caterpillar-shaped pinata-thingy the other day...
