Lots Happening

Indie casually maxing out her creative skill and completing her aspiration.

Evangeline maxing out the motor skill and completing her aspiration.

Just in time to age up!  Unfortunately, Indie didn't make it to the cake but here's Evie.

Baby 62, Indie, as a teen!  She gained the Cheerful trait and has the Painter Extraordinaire aspiration. She looks like me but with Dustin's eyes.

Baby 63, Evangeline, as a teen!  She gained the Materialistic trait and has the Fabulously Wealthy aspiration.  She's pretty much identical to me, apart from her hair and eye colour coming from Dustin.

There must've been a broadcast that there were two new teen girls in this house because this teen boy showed up on our doorstep!

Indie introduces herself.

Not moments later, another young lad has shown up!  I can't say I blame them really, Indie and Evangeline are stunning girls!

And, uh-oh, you're not a well-meaning teen boy! Well, a little bit of variation in my extensive gene pool is a good thing, and I didn't get a vampire the first time around so...

Not gonna lie, he was intimidating as hell!  "Would you like too see this picture, uh, sir Vladi-Vladislaus?"

 Augie, Sophie and I playing video games.  I won, of course, having maxed out the skill long ago.

 Indie and her new friend, Russell, stargazing.

Well, you sir are a very, uh, interesting looking bloke.

 I caught Bronte, who hates children, feeding Linus!

 Vlad rocking out on the guitar.
"I am unable to get used to these new fandangle instruments," he mused.

 Augie and Linus being adorable.  Augie's loving having a living brother!  Well, he does have Ralph too.

 That's not true, of course, since he also has Beckett, who is his nephew as well as his brother!

 They are literally identical.  Augie, left, Beckett, right.  It's like Maisie and I were merely vessels for carrying Caleb clones.

 Indie will make a great mum one day - she's always helping out with Linus.

 Royce (Ralph's son) came home from school with Evangeline!

 Royce and Evangeline being cheerful.

 That looks like someone who's just aged up!

 Baby 61, Augie Caleb, as a young adult!  His final traits are Good and Mediator.  He ended up with 6 scouting badges!

 Linus and Sophie playing.

 Linus playing with the tulip plant that grew in my courtyard against my will!  The Flower Bunny left flowers everywhere and some of them planted.

 Linus is probably the most advanced toddler I've had.

I take that back. 

Mum plays with Linus.  Usually I get pictures of siblings playing with each other, but this time it's me and my son!

 I caught Bronte and Augie snapping a selfie.

 Maisie is an elder!

 Linus aged up not at a cake.  He gained the Happy Toddler and Outgoing traits.  I was hoping to get the trait above Happy Toddler (out of 64 kids, none of them have had it yet!), as Linus maxed out Thinking and Communication and was a hair away from maxing Movement, but he only got Happy Toddler.  He's still my most learned toddler.  His aspiration is Social Butterfly.

 It was high time Bronte and Sophie moved out.  Bronte wanted to live in the city, so she moved to San Myshuno and in with nephew Benny.

 Sophie prefers suburban life and moved in with sister Holly here in Oasis Springs.

Why is my bin rattling?

 Linus was inside!

 Yeah, this was one of the weirder things I've done.

And let's gloss over what happened to get us to this point.

"Oh no, spawn!  What shall I do?"

I did a mini photoshoot with the twins (*cough* half-brothers/uncle and nephew), Augie and Beckett, to demonstrate just how identical they are!  Beckett turned out to be a vampire though.  At first Augie was extremely jealous, but now he's matured and he has got over it.

It's so weird having only four kids at home:  Evangeline, Augie, Linus and Indie.

Here's something I've been keeping under wraps - I bought this little church!  No, I'm not starting my own religious cult or anything...

It's a bakery!  Maybe it'll function better with Dine Out (which I don't have) than it will with the Get to Work retail system, but we'll see.

I've hired my grandson Benny to help out.  Here he is ringing up a customer.  This customer then spent over $1000 on a plate of Creme Brûlées!

It's thunderstorm time in Oasis Springs.

 A bolt of lightning by our fence yielded this rare rock!

 Look how skinny Evangeline is!  It's surprising considering that Dustin was fat.

Linus runs into the rain to hug his dad Randolph, who was passing by.

 What a shot.

 Pretty large for second trimester, eh?

 That third trimester roundness!

 Linus and Augie playing chess.

Here we go again!

 Meet Baby 65, Romily Hope.

AND Baby 66, Rowen Camille!  Yes, I have had twin girls again.  My last 10 children have included four sets of twin girls, with two singleton boys thrown in there.  What are the chances?  So far, they have all been fraternal, so maybe these two will kick the trend?  The good news is that they don't seem to have Vlad's ghastly skin tone, though that could change...

 Augie goes outside to see his first snow!

 They are only small flakes, but even that is rare for Oasis Springs.

Augie has calmed down from his 'too many sisters' ideal from when he was a teenager, seen here as he feeds Romily.

Later that day, it is hot enough for Indie to go swimming.  This is autumn in Oasis Springs!

 Looks like the babies have grown up, and hoo boy...

 Rowen.

Baby 65, Romily, as a toddler.  She is Clingy.

 Baby 66, Rowen, as a toddler.  She is Wild.  Apart from the hair colours, they do look identical.  In fact, I'm not sure how one can have yellow hair and one can have blonde hair (my first blonde daughter!) when I have red hair and Vlad has grey hair.  Regardless, they both got his pasty skin and cold eyes.  They are unfortunately looking like him!

 Bedtime story with my littles: Romily, Linus and Rowen.

 I'm crying because we received word that Baby 54 Maisie passed away.

 It's these twins' birthday!  Indie and Evangeline are going to become adults!  It seems like they were born only yesterday...

Go Indie!

Go Evie!

 Baby 62, Indie Britton, as a young adult!  Her final traits are Family Oriented, Good Manners and Responsible.  She got a job as a painter.

Baby 63, Evangeline Blaire, as a young adult!  Her final traits are Insider, Good Manners and Compassionate.  She got a job in business.

Hey Holly!  She's sad because her fellow triplet brothers and her younger sister have all passed away before her.

Hello there Gavin Bailey-Moon!  He's the son of Amelia and Orange.

Hey Brielle!  She is Amelia and Orange's daughter.

 The moment Augie and Linus became best friends!

Smiley Linus

Bronte came over because she had something big to tell me...

 "Mum, I'm pregnant."

 "I don't know what to do!"

"Here's what you are going to do, missy.  You are going to raise that child and give it all the love it deserves!  I don't care if you hate children, this is different because it is your child!"

 "I can't do it!  Not to mention I just found out that Armando is actually an alien.  An alien!  The baby will be an intergalactic freak!"

"Hey, I raised four half aliens and they turned out fine!  There was nothing freaky about them!  You wish you knew Hugo, River, Melody and Finn!  You can't use that as an excuse!"

 Linus and Rowen hugging.

 Augie off to work as a Secret Agent!  He's sad however since we found out Holly passed away.

 Indie actually painting (she has the Painter Extraordinaire aspiration and is in the Painter career but had yet to pick up a paintbrush).

 Linus making a friend!  Her name is Leila Lofton and she is a fellow scout, hence this secret handshake.

 Sad Augie.

 Linus and Leila hanging out by the pool.

 And stargazing!  These two are fast becoming friends.

It's time for another Winterfest!

 Indie does a belly laugh.

 And bamboozles Rowen!

Ralph and his daughter Marilyn.

 Cortez (Iris' son) and Linus.

 Indie, Augie and Romily eat their grand meal by the pool in the middle of winter.

That's one disgruntled pregnant lady.
