Vale Henry Thorne, Baby 67

There is actually a bit of background on how Henry came to be.  In a rare circumstance, Henry's father was already a part of our family, right from when he was a toddler.  
When Baby 55 Amelia (centre) married Orange Bailey-Moon (left), she inherited a sister-in-law (Linda) and a brother-in-law in Travis (the little toddler on the right). 
Amelia and Orange had two children, Brielle and Gavin.  When I went to visit my grandchildren in their Del Sol Valley mansion after their parents passed away, I met Travis, who was now an adult and was basically a clone of his father, Thorne Bailey. 
Things then happened between my daughter's brother-in-law/grandchildren's uncle and I. 
It was also when I was with Travis that the horror reality of WooHoo was discovered.
And then I was pregnant. 
I went into labour at my daughters' weddings (Indie and Evangeline).
Then Baby 67, Henry Thorne, was born.
He spent his whole infancy in the kitchen, a first for my babies.
Henry as a toddler.  He had the Charmer trait.
Playing in the kiddie pool.
Chatting with Patchy.
Henry (right) sharing a cuddle with little brother Nathan.  
Then he yelled at Nathan.
Flash cards with big brother Linus.
Looks like Nathan was still annoyed about being yelled at!
Birthday time!
Henry as a child.  He gained the Perfectionist trait and had the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration. 
Henry (left) was lucky to be there for our first restaurant experience.
Hugging little sister Kiernan.
Learning manners from Mummy.
Henry as a teen.  He gained the Squeamish trait and the Fabulously Wealthy aspiration.  It was apparent that he looked like his father and, by extension, his grandfather Thorne. 
The resemblance unfortunately stretched to the nose as well.
Doing flash cards with little sister Siobhan.
It was at this point that I met this mixologist, Carlee Eldridge.  She would eventually meet Henry...

Luckily he grabs Dulcie!
Henry's 18th birthday!
Henry Thorne as a young adult.  His final traits were Goofball, Mediator, Good Manners, Compassionate and Responsible, becoming my second baby to gain four extra traits!
Teaching Teddy "The Pudge" to talk.
Poor Henry walked in on Nathan conceiving his first (of eight) child.
Ah, Carlee the mixologist makes an appearance!  They became a couple and Henry discovered that she was an alien. 
They then moved to Windenburg.
At Henry's birthday party, he asked Nathan casually about his six (so far) children...
Before being told he was going to have a child of his own!  Carlee was pregnant!
One night, Henry called me and I rushed over.
Turns out he and Carlee had had blue half-alien triplet boys!  Elvis, Waldemar and Chad were a sight to behold. 
Henry set me up on a blind date with a bloke (who ended up fathering my 77th baby, Patrick) and he and Carlee stuck around to watch.

Unfortunately, this is the only picture we have of Henry as an elder, with his back to the camera and his sister in the nude.  
He leaves behind Elvis...
Waldemar...
And Chad.

A Grand Amount of Grandkids

Charlie and his dad Hamza.  Hamza passed away later that night.
Me and my boys decorating the tree.
Then this happened.  Luckily Posey and I put it out!  Our Winterfest was then soured by the news that Baby 67, Henry, had passed away of old age. 
There's Floyd sitting at the bench in time out for making a mess.  Moments later, Patrick came along and continued it!  Then they were both in time out. 
Floyd gets a present from Father Winter whilst Wynn gives the hairy eyeball. 
Even big boy Teddy gets a present.  Last Wintefest, he was on the naughty list and Father Winter gave him poo.  He must've cleaned up his act this year, though, for he received a tablet!
It was then time for Teddy to move out!
I don't remember ever using my woodworking station, but I decided to make something. 
Floyd joined me in the basement to do some experiments. 
Patrick and Floyd doing their homework. 
 Charlie helps Floyd with his school project. 
When you're painting and you go into labour.
Paddy chilling out.
I may be in labour but my kids still need breakfast. 
Here I go for the 57th time!
Well, hello there little boy!  AND little girl!  Baby 78 is Milo Theodore and Baby 79 is Imogen Elise. Not only have I just had boy/girl twins for the first time since Babies 55 & 56, Amelia and Ralph, but I've just had six boys in a row for the first time.  I haven't even had six girls in a row, and I have one more daughter than I do sons.  This was also my 20th set of twins!  And my 5th set to be boy/girl. 
Yeah, I'm not a bad mother am I?  I can't be after successfully raising 73 kids, can I?  Patrick was just having a rough day. 
Floyd meets his new little brother. 
And proceeds to fart on him.  Being a Slob, he does that a lot. 
 Who am I giving this look to? 
It's my granddaughter, Tania!  She is Baby 62 Indie's oldest daughter (along with her twin Jill).  Since I have 17 (!) living grandchildren, with a friendly reminder that HALF (8) of them belong to Baby 68 Nathan "Don Lothario" Tate, I thought I would throw a party for all the grandkids.  
 This is Zander (Nathan's 4th child and only son) and Roxanne (Nathan's oldest). 
This is Shanice, Baby 64 Linus' only child.
 This is Tania's twin Jill.
This is Lana, Nathan's youngest, holding her newborn aunty, Imogen.
This is Carrie, Lana's twin. 
We all know Beckett, since he's an immortal vampire and the son of Baby 41 Maisie and Caleb Vatore. 
This is Tiffany, Nathan's second daughter. 
Next we have Maegan, Indie's youngest, talking to the person who has the second most children after me, her uncle Nathan. 
 And Soren, Maegan's twin brother.
You may remember that Baby 67 Henry had blue triplet alien boys?  We haven't seen them since they were babies!  Well this is Waldemar, the middle triplet.  He looks exactly like Henry except with blue skin!
 This is Hallie, Nathan's third daughter and twin of Tiffany. 
Here we have Princess, Nathan's 6th child and the only one that lives with him.  We also have me doing a weird face.
 This is Elvis, the eldest of Henry's triplets.  He looks less like Henry. 
And this is Chad, the youngest triplet.  If I had to guess, I'd say Waldemar and Chad were identical and Elvis was fraternal to them. 
The 17th grandchild wasn't able to come over, but you'll see her later!
