Tony is getting more serious with Lori, and has decided to introduce her properly in the family. Since Gabriella knows her already, he's now invited Victoria and Maria to dinner to get to know her. They seem to like her!
His dates with Lori are often in the factory, where they have more space to themselves as opposed to the crowded villa in Oasing Springs.
He's falling deeply for her now, they're so adorable.
She keeps spending the night at the factory with him.
Beatrice and Marco are trying to be good students. Maria and Mariana are helping with school projects the best they can.
But Beatrice is very much teenager nowadays. She keeps having mood swings and acting angry and rebellious. She's feeling so tired of this house packed full of family members who are just doing pointless things like painting and playing cards all day. They don't understand her!
She exercises a lot to cope with her angry feelings, and it helps a little bit.
But she still has outbursts of rage at dinner and fights with her mom at all times.
Victoria and Tony have a bit of fun with painting portraits of all their siblings, including each other.
The result is a nice collection on their parents' bedroom walls.
Right in the middle of Beatrice's worst mood swing regime, they're getting another teenager in the house. It's Marco's birthday!
And wow! He's quite a looker
Ronja's teenagers are hanging out in the neighborhood a lot. They are good student who do their homework, but are also very social. Here they're spending an afternoon in the park with their friend Dehlia.
Marte is trying to train Paprika, who is not a puppy anymore. Her first tries at the obstacle course isn't going very well.
But she's slowly getting the hang of it. It's quite busy to have three dogs in the house. Both Timian and Karoline are old ladies now.
The three generations of dachshund/jack russel are always sticking close together.
Ronja is back in the jungle. Alone this time, but she's keeping her family up to date on her adventure.
It feels really good to get away, she loves the atmosphere here. She's been thinking for a while about what she'll do when she can't play basketball professionally anymore. And now she's thinking maybe she can be a jungle explorer in her older days.
She's also getting a real hang on the local dance moves.
She's staying at the dorm in the research station, where she has close access to the deep jungle.
Her goal is to find the temple and gather as many artifacts as possible. And it doesn't take long before she finds it and starts solving the riddles.
She's doing really well with it too. The skills she's built up over the course of her long life come in good handy.
She even gets a happiness blessing from the temple gods. And at last she finds the main chamber deep down underground.
She's got the treasure! It's time to go back home.
When she gets home to Dachshund's Creek, she's met by a devastating sight. Timian is dying!
The whole family is gravely mourning this loss, including the other dogs. Timian was such a loyal friend, and will be greatly missed.
When Lena's birthday comes up shortly after, they don't feel like throwing a big party. Instead they have a dinner with the grandparents in a nice restaurant.
Happy birthday Lena! First grandchild becoming a young adult, that's wonderful for Mariana and Vetle to witness.
Now that Lena is a young adult, she's started working in the business career. She's always been a hard working girl, so all reports get done way before deadline.
Ronja has been busy uncovering and authenticating all the artifacts she brought back from Selvadorada. She plans to sell some of them, but keep most for herself.
Marte is now old enough to hang out at the local pub, and that's one of her favorite things to do.
She's very social and fun and has a talent for comedy.
Lena didn't have much of a romantic life during her teens, but now she seems to have found a potential partner. She's known Dehlia for a while, she's a mutual friend of Lena and Marte. Lena has started going on dates with her, and it looks like it could definitely amount to something.
At least Dehlia is being very open about her feelings.
This evening, she has taken Dehlia out for a romantic dinner in Windenburg. Meanwhile, Marte is partying it up in the old ruins.
Marte's best friend is her cousin Beatrice, they go to all the parties they can find.
Now that Karoline is an old dog, she gets sick a lot more. At least they know who's the best vet in town. Gabriella has been treating all of her family's pets by now, and countless others.
At home, she has three grownup cats now. And three children. It's time to expand the house!
They've added a second floor, but don't have the money to furnish it yet. Eventually this floor will have separate bedrooms for the kids.
They've also built an extension on the kitchen side of the house, to make a proper dining room.
Gabriella is working in her charity this weekend, so Aleksander has taken the children to the park. Terje plays with Gunilla Flex, who is his friend Uma's little sister.
Agnes also meets a new friend.
Kari doesn't meet any other toddlers, but she's quite happy to have the playground equipment all to herself.
After spending some hours in the park they go to the spice festival for dinner.
It's Gabriella and Tony's turn to become young adults now, so they have a family gathering in Oasis Springs.
Birthday twins!
When the family party is over, all the siblings and Lena head out to go dancing.
Gabriella stays out late for the first time since she became a mother, so it's really about time.
The next day, the children are relaxing at home playing don't wake the llama. Terje and Agnes get along great.
Kari is trying to bond with the cat, but Aaron has never been very interested in children.
Gabriella is still doing her demonstrations in the neighborhood sometimes, but there are not many people joining them nowadays.
When they get tired of the llama game at home, Terje and Agnes often go down to the harbor and play chess.
They've expanded the terrace a bit, but with no furniture for the time being there is plenty of room for the children to do their school projects. Aleksander helps out when he can.
Terje is a bit more skilled than his little sister, and his solar system is excellent. We'll find a place in the house to exhibit it.
Gabriella has had to take Kari with her to work at the vet clinic a few times. That's gone very well, a cute toddler is a hit with the customers.
But now Kari is also growing up to a school child! Happy birthday Kari!
The atmosphere in the desert villa is very laid back. They've earned so much money from Tony and Victoria's paintings that they don't need to works as hard any more. The artists keep painting, but they plan to keep more of their paintings for themselves from now on.
Beatrice has moved in with her father to get a closer relationship with him, but he lives very close and Beatrice often comes to visit.
Marco is, not surprisingly, popular with the girls. He has friends over almost every day, mostly female ones.
He has a special eye on Ofelia Patel, a very pretty girl who is nice to talk to.
Suddenly one morning, something they've feared for a long time finally happens.
Mariana's life has come to an end, and Maria and Victoria find her when they come into the kitchen for breakfast.
And almost immediately after she's gone, Vetle's life also fades away. He dies in the bedroom right next to the portraits of all his children.
The two of them have lived very long and eventful lives, and will be greatly missed.
The atmosphere in the house over the next few days is not great.
Finally Maria suggests they should do something to honor their parents.
So all five siblings get together and have a kind of funeral dinner in the local mexican restaurants that the whole family loves.
Ronja is the oldest family member now. It feels strange, but she's very happy and humble to have such a large and loving family.
Elvis the Saint Bernhard died of old age a while ago, and now the family has decided to get a new dog. Marco picket out a collie puppy from the adoption agency.
He's so cute! They've named him Charles.
The family are still mourning the loss of Vetle and Mariana. But hopefully the new puppy can help them get through it.
He's already contributed to spreading some good mood in the house.
Tony and Victoria want to be closer to their family now, so they don't go stay in the factory apartment as often. Instead, they've started occasional yard sales with their paintings.
Marco is becoming a proper teenager.
He's mood swings never last long though, and he likes being useful around the house. He especially loves cooking for the family.
He's also very interested in girls, and especially Ophelia. They're spending a lot of time together and have become sweethearts.
They like hanging out with friends at the bowling alley, but Ophelia gets frustrated when Marco is more interested in taking selfies than focusing on the game.
They didn't win the foosball game, but they forget about that soon enough.
In Dachshund's Creek, Lena's girlfriend Dehlia has become part of the family.
Ronja and Nile like her very much. She works some secret agent business, which she can't tell them much about and which they then of course find intriguing.
Ronja still has some artifacts from Selvadorada to uncover and authenticate. She's enjoying this work a lot, and has been less and less active in her sports career.
Marte likes to keep to her room practicing guitar a lot when she's not out with friends. She's started writing some comedy routines on the computer as well, and is picturing some kind of entertainer career when she grows up.
Lena and Dehlia are the cutest. Their relationship has been moving fast lately and Lena feels like it's time to take a new step. So she proposes to Dehlia!
Dehlia doesn't hesitate so say yes, and now they're ready to get married!
