Hello lovelies! It's been a long time, like really long. Like 9 months long, jeez I mean Evie and Alex could have had a new baby in this time, like I could just be like "surprise you never even knew she was pregnant... 'cause she wasn't... but here's the new baby!" That's not quite going to happen, just saying it could that's how long it's been. Oops. Sorry about that, life has just been crazy and I didn't even realize it's been so long (I mean... it was New Year's like... yesterday, right? RIGHT?), but I'm sure nobody needs to know my boring life story. So let's just get to it and see where the Ellison-Warren bunch has been the last 9 months. I've tried to get loads of pictures for you, some picture spam for you. Hopefully it makes up for the absence (and the probably questionable writing quality because I'm REALLY out of practice).
Last we saw Evie had just recently released her 2nd (and final album) which was a collaboration with her brother, Nolan, and her (ex-best, trying to reconcile) friend, Julianne. The album was a huge success and they were planning the world tour for it. The tour has now wrapped wrapped up since, but was just as big of a hit as the album was. They completely sold out stadiums worldwide and had the time of their lives. Evie has now brought her music career to a close, on a very high note (pun intended), and looks forward to the next adventures in her life. The album and tour have brought in fantastic offers for Julianne and Nolan who both are beginning their careers in music. For Nolan especially, check the credits next time you watch a movie, you might just see him listed as a composer!

But as much as the tour was one of the best times of all their lives. With all it did for Julianne and Nolan's careers, and the legacy it left for Evie who will always be one of the greatest artists of our time. How it brought 2 former friends back together, they're pretty much besties again (you can't really spend day and night for days or weeks on end in a bus with somebody and not be either extremely close to them.... or without killing each other). All the incredible destinations they visited and the adventures they had. Everybody was also glad to be home.
It was likely been hardest on Nolan who you might remember was an expectant father last we heard. Now he's just a father, who, because he was way on the other side of the world, missed the birth of his beautiful baby girl, Alice. And was running himself ragged trying to balance tour life and time with his new daughter and trying to capture as much of that new baby stage as possible.
As for the mother, Deedee, welll... she decided several months ago that she had enough of Nolan's inability to have only one partner. After discovering he had even more than first thought (and we won't open up that can of worms). No amount of pleading that he was breaking it off with everybody else and only wanted her could save the relationship. Regardless, he's still trying to prove his intent to her, and has still followed through on the promise to break up with everybody else. She may never forgive him (wouldn't blame her, wouldn't mind giving the guy a slap myself) but he's sure going to try.
They do really nail the co-parenting thing though, either way. No concerns about their differences or relationship with each other affecting their relationship with the baby. They both just want what's best for her, at least Nolan is starting to show *some* maturity.

Speaking of babies lets not forget about precious little Lucas. And boy is he ever getting big! Less of a baby now, more of a toddler (though of course he'll forever be his parents baby!). And getting cuter by the day. Gonna be a heart breaker in a few years. Watch out mom and dad!
The little munchkin is 2 years old now! Waddling away from his parents with the greatest of ease, mostly. Not that he ever goes far, but he does like to go anywhere his parents aren't. And then once he's just out of sight he likes to sit down and cry until somebody rescues him (which is never very long)... typical toddler stuff... gotta love 'em!
He talks and sings along (to whatever nonsensical toddler song he's made up) as he happily beats away on his xylophone. Still the little musical prodigy in the making... I think this kid's got more talent than his mom. But at least it keeps him out of trouble. Honestly, he's just the sweetest most innocent little guy. I thought he'd be a real handful (but the one that's too cute to stay mad at) but he's really not.
But let's just get to the pictures of the little munchkin. Lots of pictures with daddy because daddy's hockey season came to an unfortunately early end as they failed to make it far in playoffs. A bummer but... look at these two adorable men together... worth it!

Other than that the family has been spending their summer floating around Isla Paradiso on a houseboat, just enjoying a family vacation over the summer before hockey season picks up again and Evie goes to school. They'll both be on the same continent again but they might not see each other that much more than they have been once their vacation ends... life's about to get crazy I think. So they've been trying to make the most of those carefree summer months.
And finally, Lucas would like to make a very special announcement on behalf of his parents!
Yes, Mrs. I'm-never-having-another-baby has decided maybe another baby isn't so bad after all! The first one was pretty worth it, after all. Being sweet little Alice's auntie probably hasn't hurt either, such a precious reminder of how adorable babies are... but it's easier to forget how much work they are. And Alex is ecstatic, he wants like 5 kids, which he knows isn't going to happen but he's so happy to have 2.
And yes, Evie is still going to school. Good luck, med. school, a toddler, and a pregnancy... sounds like a lot! Girl is braver than I am! Or crazier. But whatever... I can't wait to meet the precious new baby!

Whew, okay that's all for now! We'll really try to check in more frequently. Somebody might have a bit of a vacation soon. So somebody might be hoping to do stuff then. And also be less worn out after so they actually feel like checking in more often!
See you soon!
See you soon!
