    !Happy October Everyone!
    Family Tree updated!
    Everyone was very sad in my game and I had no idea why. Apparently, the family got the call that Phillip, Leanna Joy's father had passed away.
    635a80f34c.jpg

    Leanna Joy put on a brave face for her family, she was happy that her father was at peace and with her mother.
    6fb598cdc4.jpg

    But there was little time to be sad, both girls were celebrating their YA birthdays! Which Leanna Joy had covered.

    Elisabeth was more than ready to get out on her own, she has big dreams of exploring space.

    Camìla wants to become a secret agent and live a life of mystery.

    With both girls being Young Adults now I still have no idea who will be heiress but I am working on a new home build now. Do you guys have a favorite?

    @OJenn - I like them both. If I had to choose one, I'd go with the one that had the more interesting of traits. Camìla. ;)

    @OJenn I'm also a fan of Camila!

    School is finally starting to slow down, I'm hoping to get an update up soon! I can't remember what and when I last posted...time to do some catching up!

    @OJenn Not sure why, but I'm fond of Elisabeth. I'm sad Phillip died though!

    Chapter 83: Always about Family

    Dad? What are you doing?
    BKmrL.png

    OH! OK this is fun!
    BKmsu.png

    Father and son had a good time. It’s fun to have a little one in the house again!
    BKmtk.png

    When they were done, Mom read John a bedtime story and put him to bed.
    BKmud.png

    The next day they were snowed in. John was the only one of the 4 kids who wanted to spend his time with Mom and Dad.
    BKmxl.png

    Later the family came over for some holiday cheer.
    BKmDd.png
    BKmDx.png

    With all the excitement, John felt left out and went out and destroyed the snowman he made with Dad.
    BKmE8.png

    He felt better after he had something to eat and got some attention from big brother Alex.
    BKmFj.png

    Then right before their eyes, their little boy grew up.
    BKmQL.png

    I love how close my family has stayed. I wish they could bring their families with them though. They should have automatic family knowledge.
    BKmRf.png

    Stella is now an elder and in her old age she hasn’t been feeling very well.
    BKmSA.png

    Gabe took her to the vet to get everything fixed up.
    BKmV0.png

    At first he’s happy to see the vet.
    BKmWR.png

    Then she took out the needle.
    BKmXv.png

    He’s not a happy pet dad! Except that she’s all better so that’s happy :)
    BKmYf.png

    Because of the vet visit, Gabe had the day off and time to spend with his wife.
    BKmZe.png

    Grandpa took the boys out to dinner at a fancy restaurant.
    BKn0p.png

    The boys had a good time.
    BKn1w.png

    They also saw Joe Benson, Brennan’s mystery child!

    HI, guys sorry I've been MIA forever in Day RL been Super duper busy and So I have some major catching up to do on reading and I think I left off on stuff lol I'm pretty sure I did. *HUGS* to all I miss you all hope you all are doing well. so here why i disappeared I have 3 little sisters and my 3rd lil sister had my second lil sister living with her for 2 mo ended up kicking her out her daughter. Both ended up living with me for a month and then it became my job to make sure this one got a place to stay an food in her stomach and her kid taken care of. well in all I finally got her Own Apt a few doors down from me although some time wishes I didn't. she now at my door more times than I can count asking for this an that. but *sigh I still do as deemed big sister to take care of sibling and even though she suffers from PTSD struggle to help her an everything left me little time to get on the game much less left to write. I will be able to more often to now that she now able to do stuff on her own now.

    Well my friends, lately I feel like I'm posting to air but I know there are still a few of you out there :) Hope you don't mind this really really long update. I played a lot over the weekend!

    Chapter 84: Three times a charm?

    Brooke and Gabe still make time for date night.
    BLDZ5.png

    Surprisingly, they saw Brennan having dinner with not his wife.
    BLE0l.png

    No one seemed concerned and they didn’t let it affect their night.
    BLE1f.png

    The wait staff were horrified.
    BLE1P.png

    Poor Gabe ended up with food poisoning though.
    BLE61.png

    On Love Day, John and Alexander tried to impress their mother with flowers.
    BLEaS.png
    BLEbc.png

    She shunned them both. Apparently only flowers from Gabe are acceptable.
    BLEc0.png

    We knew it was coming, but little Stella left the family in the middle of the night.
    BLEfB.png

    Brooke and Gabe were heart broken when they woke up and found her.
    BLEhH.png

    At story time it was hard to get into it. Everyone was so sad.
    BLEja.png

    Poor Alex had his young adult birthday and while there was still a party everyone was sad.
    BLEkH.png
    BLEl1.png

    Sometimes I forget that Brennan lives right across the street. I took this picture from Brooke’s house. It’s so pretty.
    BLEmG.png

    John is a very studious student.
    BLEFh.png

    Brooke has been babying little Cosmos. She knows she’ll lose him soon too.
    BLGHe.png

    She puts him down long enough to help John with a school project though.
    BLGI7.png

    Over dinner, Brooke shared some surprise news about her Dad. He got married for a third time!
    BLGLB.png

    They went to visit but he was upstairs doing yoga with his eldest daughter from his second marriage.
    BLGNO.png

    He had no idea she just stood behind him the entire time not doing any moves.
    BLGOH.png

    Afterwards, he had a relaxing bath. I love him.
    BLGRg.png

    Brooke didn’t need him to meet her new step mom though.
    BLGS6.png

    And then…
    BLGTr.png

    It was John’s birthday.
    BLGUx.png

    And Brennan’s new wife was spotted wandering around in the nude!
    BLGXr.png

    John’s present from his Grandfather was a trip to the jungle!
    BLGZi.png

    He started learning how to haggle though he wasn’t very successful at it.
    BLH0k.png

    He got his supplies and went on his first adventure.
    BLH0P.png

    He managed to get himself sick.
    BLH1B.png

    And attacked by bugs.
    BLH20.png

    At least he had a nice place to sleep once he made his way back to Grandpa.
    BLH3b.png

    How this happened while he was with his grandson in the jungle I’m not sure, but we got this notification.
    BLH3E.PNG

    I guess Brennan wasn’t happy about the news.
    BLH6X.png

    The next day, John was back mixing with the locals before he had more adventures.
    BLH8y.png

    The trip was coming to an end when John picked up his favorite treasure.
    BLH9U.png

    Brennan couldn’t say no, but he knew he was in big trouble for letting this happen.
    BLHbr.png

    He didn’t know when they got home the unthinkable was happening.
    BLHcF.png

    The first thing John did was give his new friend Wolfie a bath.
    BLHdg.png

    This dog knows how lucky he is.
    BLHeu.png

    When John got home he tried to console his mother.
    BLHf3.png

    Meanwhile, outside, poor Gabe was falling victim to abduction again.
    BLHg9.png

    Brooke was warming up to Wolfie. She is a dog lover after all.
    BLHjr.png

    Brooke thought she’d give making friends with a stray a try…but look who’s in the background!
    BLHlJ.png

    Oh Wolfie, you’re number 1!!
    BLHmr.png

    I suppose it was only a matter of time before John started meeting girls at school…
    BLHnA.PNG

    She came over to do homework but he just sat there while she did hers with a silly look on his face.
    BLHpV.png

    Eventually he got over it though and she sat with him while he did his.
    BLHqX.png

    Grandpa called to take John out and aged up right at the restaurant! :(
    BLHvq.png

    He had some crazy stories to tell.
    BLHvP.png
    BLHwx.png
    BLHwM.png

    Later the boys got together for a game of cards.
    BLHy9.png

    Wolfie is a well-loved dog.
    BLHAg.png

    Even Gabe can’t resist.
    BLHAS.png

    OK this random lady that no one knows and who is not the maid came into the house and did some laundry.
    BLHCD.png

    Then she went upstairs and yelled at the toys. No one seemed to mind that she was there.
    BLHD9.png

    Everyone seems to want to tell John something great when he’s doing homework.
    BLHF0.png

    The girl from school…Sarah…has been spending a lot of time at the house.
    BLHFU.png

    And poor Gabe. Third time.
    BLHH3.png

    Hiii guys!!! Its been a while, I have an update for you all! But first, comments/replies!

    @OJenn I still can't get over how lovely your photos are... seriously! I agree with the majority so far and really love Camila. Shes gorgeous and I feel like her trait combo is interesting :)

    @debjameswhite I'm sorry you feel like you're posting to air :( I promise I read - I am just really crappy at replying all the time. John and Wolfie are honestly too adorable for words!! I cant... A love interest already? I hope so! John is a little looker!

    Also, welcome back to all those that are coming back (even briefly) I am fairly new, and returning lol. Here's my first update!!

    09-27-18-8-41-50-PM.png

    This photo pretty much sums up Jordan and Kale's relationship. They spend so much time together while also being apart, ya know? That's actually very true for my relationship too... lol

    09-27-18-8-50-54-PM.png

    Jordan loves her morning jogs. Kale goes on his workouts too, but Jordan never misses a morning. She loves the fresh air and scenery around her, and really, who can blame her?

    09-27-18-9-00-11-PM.png
    09-27-18-9-00-23-PM.png

    With their financial situation become more stable, the two finally decided it was time to try for a baby. They were successful the first time around! Kale looks so darn thrilled! But the bump is starting to grow already!! <3

    09-27-18-9-11-26-PM.png
    09-27-18-9-13-16-PM.png
    09-27-18-9-17-36-PM.png

    Bump watch! The first baby of the legacy will soon be born! I was so excited that I basically sped through all the time in between... I felt bad, but also, not really.

    09-27-18-9-21-13-PM.png
    09-27-18-9-23-14-PM.png

    Its go time!! The first little baby of the family is a baby boy! His name is Felix! And let me tell ya... hes GORGEOUS!

    09-28-18-8-40-29-AM.png

    Jordan is my fave... she celebrates giving birth by making a snow angel... I mean, what else are you going to do?

    09-28-18-8-41-30-AM.png

    Kale on the other hand, is much more practical and celebrates by getting to know his son. Boring! :P

    09-28-18-8-43-16-AM.png
    09-28-18-8-45-06-AM.png

    Christmas came, and these two are sickly cute! They are so darn opposite in some ways and it makes me laugh. Kale is usually the serious one to be honest, but the roles flipped when they were opening presents.

    09-28-18-8-45-44-AM.png

    There was lots of love that Christmas day ... more than normal.

    09-28-18-8-47-23-AM.png

    And this time, Kale got outside to enjoy the outdoors! What a pretty snowpal!

    09-28-18-8-49-28-AM.png

    The finished the day off with WAYYYY too much for food for two people. But, at least they were happy!

    09-28-18-9-06-06-AM.png

    The following day was time for Felix to age up. If you think he's gorgeous now, just wait! Ugh, precious nooboo!

    09-28-18-9-20-34-AM.png

    With Felix being a toddler now, it was time for the house to be renovated. This is a house I built I think a couple years back that I NEVER used but really loved. The reason I never used it was actually because it's only 2 bedrooms and I always play with big families. I may just stick to one kid this generation. I don't know if Jordan and Kale are the type to have too many. Maybe one more?

    09-28-18-9-41-15-AM.png

    With a new house and a new toddler to play with, the family got a puppy! I am such a dog person IRL that nearly all my families have pups too lol. Anyways this little munchkin is Koby and he is an Akita. I cannot wait to see him grow!

    That's it for now! I am almost caught up in game. Hope you enjoyed the update!! <3 Talk soon!

    @desirae333 What a great update! Kale and Jordan are so cute. I love the baby bump pictures! They were so cute a Christmas time. Felix is such a cutie! I can't wait to see him grown up. I love your house! And your puppy! So cute :)

    @debjameswhite - I love seeing the family having fun out in the snow having fun. Brooke and Gabe are probably my favorite couple you've had so far. Rest in Peace Stella :( It always hurts to see sims mourning, hopefully, they can come to together. John aged up nicely - he looks a lot like his mother. I am so happy you were able to get out in the jungle and play with that pack.

    @desirae333 - Thank you so much for your lovely comments.

    Jordan and Kale are such a sweet couple. And baby Felix is absolutely adorable with his eyes ♥ That house is amazing and I can't wait to see the inside and how you decorate it for the family. Akitas are such good dogs, they are known to be good with kids.

    Everyone - I haven't played much due to real life but I am glad to see everyone's lovely updates and families carrying on ♥

    @debjameswhite I'm sorry you feel that way, I promise I still read too! I try to keep up, but life keeps getting crazier for me... Just this month, the company I work for lost its second location and had to make cuts. They didn't want to fire anyone, so we all got our hours cut. I've been offered two other jobs and almost took one, but I decided to take more college classes next semester instead--finally making progress toward my degree! Last week, one of my co-workers quit unexpectedly, and I got a raise and full-time hours again. On top of all that, I'm seeing someone new (my ex and I broke up when he got home this summer; we were just going different directions in life), and it's been nice getting to spend so much time with him since he lives closer. I also run a Dungeons & Dragons game once a week for him and our mutual friends, and while it's super fun, it eats up a lot of my free time. I've been craving playing Sims lately, so I'm looking forward to when we take a break from D&D for the holidays. I can't believe it's already that time of the year again--Halloween in less than two weeks, my 21st birthday in exactly two weeks, then Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years... I need life to calm down for a minute and let me breathe!

    @OJenn I hope things calm down for you soon too. It sure has been a crazy year!

    @everyone - I'm loving the updates!! I'm sorry I don't get around to commenting/updating much, but I'm still here <3

    Hey everyone, thanks for the comments. I just wanted to apologize if I made anyone feel bad. That was not my intent. I'm a happy simmer. I play and post and have fun doing it! Don't feel sorry for me or like any of you are doing anything wrong cause that for sure isn't what I'm thinking :) I love all of you!

    @everyone The last few days I've been working on a house for John. This is one of my most ambitious builds. It could use some more landscaping and there are a couple of rooms that could use some more decorating but I've been working on this for days and I'm tired :) Hope you enjoy!

    Chapter 85: Endings and Beginnings

    New Year’s eve and of course there was a party.
    BWYG6.png

    Until they lost their beloved patriarch.
    BWYIC.png

    They had a ceremony at their family plot to honor their ancestors.
    BWYKj.png

    With every end, there is a new beginning. Eventually John and Wolfie moved into his new home.
    BWYMf.png

    He gave his friend Sarah the tour.
    BWYNo.png

    She moved in, but it wasn’t romantic quite yet.
    BWYO1.png

    She immediately started throwing parties!
    BWYQp.png
    BWYQZ.png

    John goes outside to get some quiet.
    BWYRD.png

    Things finally started getting romantic but of course on their first date, John’s dad was there.
    BWYTf.png

    When he saw his son, he made himself scarce.
    BWYUP.png

    The budding couple had their first kiss.
    BWYVv.png

    John decided finally to take the trip his grandfather had got him for his birthday. They were supposed to go together so it was bittersweet.
    BWYY2.png

    He has a lot more experience now, so he got a lot more from this trip though he missed his grandfather.
    BWYZG.png

    Unfortunately he got sick, but when Wolfie got sick too, he had to go home early.
    BWZ1J.png

    It was after this that John decided to buy the local vet office and open his own practice. It’s a lot different opening a practice with an experienced vet as opposed to one who is a novice. Little does he know, this is the same vet office his 6th Great Grandfather built!
    BWZ3r.PNG

    Wolfie approved this move.
    BWZ7Q.png

    So much he went to find his Dad a present.
    BWZ8C.png

    On the way home he started feeling not well again.
    BWZ9E.png

    Luckily John could take care of him right at home.
    BWZaQ.png

    Meanwhile, things were starting to get serious with Sarah.
    BWZbH.png

    Another date where John’s parents also happened to be. I love Gabe and Brooke still :)
    BWZcH.png

    After dinner, the couple changed their clothes and John took Sarah down to the docks for a special moment.
    BWZfo.png
    BWZg4.png

    Sadly, before the big day arrived, they lost another important member of the family.
    BWZgW.png

    Sometimes when John is working late at the clinic, Sarah will come by and make him dinner.
    BWZiS.png

    Whenever he’s working on his archaeology, she’s also hovering around. He doesn’t mind.
    BWZmV.png

    More parties. Sarah won’t let John become reclusive.
    BWZnL.png

    The next morning they had a nice breakfast and fooled around by sitting at the far ends of their table. Joking that someday those chairs could be filled with kids!
    BWZpg.png

    Some pictures that will speak for themselves.
    BWZt9.png
    BWZtr.png
    BWZtO.png
    BWZtO.png
    BWZuw.png
    BWZuN.png
    BWZv7.png
    BWZvs.png
    BWZvG.png
    BWZvS.png
    BWZwx.png

    They of course went to the jungle for their honeymoon.
    BX2BX.png

    And got right to work on important business.
    BWZAz.png

    The next day John did some work at one of his excavation sites. He had a visitor that didn’t seem to disturb him too much.
    BWZBP.png

    That night did leave to the expected outcome. The first time ever the mother went for her husband first instead of the baby!
    BWZEl.png

    There were a lot of parties. Sarah started having game night with her sister and her two moms.
    BWZGB.png

    They also became the home to host holidays.
    BWZIe.png

    John and his father-in-law, “Thank you for coming sir.”
    BWZJc.png

    Brooke always gravitates to baby Erich.
    BWZKk.png

    Then, just as Erich started to get old enough to do things on his own, there was more news.
    BWZL4.png

    I couldn’t bring myself to remodel the rooms I had just worked so hard on so they turned half of the work room into a room for Erich.
    BWZN1.png

    This is just a quick snapshot of the work John has to do.
    BWZOG.png

    Brooke was ecstatic when she got the new news!
    BWZQG.png

    Gabe was adorable fist punching the air.
