Hello Nails!

Training my husband - it's time to shed those kilos! 
Astrid is my first manicure victim. 
"I trust you, Mum - you're a pro."
Loving herself sick in her new nails!
Edison surprised me by asking for his nails to be done too. 
He seemed to enjoy himself. 
On fleek! 
Freya (a child!) meditates. 
Otto gives big brother Rory a strange look. 
Since no one in my household is skilled enough to give me a manicure, I had to visit the spa.  I took Jett and turned it into a date. 
Of course one of the masseuses had to die while we were there. 
My nails turned out gorgeous though. 
Loving myself sick in my new claws.
"Ah, Grimmy, how are you?  Yeah, Freya's great, you should come around and visit.  Not to reap one of my children, though."
Me: "You're doing great, honey, keep it up!"
Jett: "You were saying?"
Jeez, Jett, don't look so jealous.  It's been 39 children since I've had one with Caleb.  And he's had children with two of my daughters since then!
Willow showed up and tried her hand at yoga.
A smooch for my bae. 
Edison meditating.
That confident walk.
Jett and I relax in the bath.  I guess in a way this was like the honeymoon we never had. 
Adoring eyes. 
Freya and Buzz kick a soccer ball. 
Freya: "Mum always says don't play ball in the house." 
Otto enjoying meatballs. 
And Rory!
Am I a beauty influencer yet? 
Rory's boys came over.  Here he is with Kristopher. 
And with Jaden. 
Hugs from Nanna. 
I've made some punch... must be time for a party.
Otto scowls at sister Mardi. 
Well well well... is this a meet cute?!
This is awful... how dare my own grandson wear the eyeball ring!
Freya and her nephew Jaden.
Otto and this lady hit it off.  Her name is Macie Hightower. 
I saw sparks...
Oh!  It's Freya's birthday!  By last baby is about to become a teen...
The family cheers for the baby!
Meanwhile I'm cleaning up the dishes...
Baby 100 Freya as a teen!  She gained the Unflirty trait and has the Painter Extraordinaire aspiration. 
Rory and Otto. 
Freya gets started on her painting.
Freya and me.  It hit me that after raising 100 children, I had no more.  Now I was on my last teen!
Yes, our household has seen the works.  Here we have a human (Otto), a Servo (Buzz) and Patchy the straw man.  
Sharing a moment with my husband. 
Buzz and Otto playing chess.

Vale Layne Thomas, Baby 92

 

Layne's parents.  His father was Ringo Starr.

The moment Ringo found out he was going to be a father. 

Me labouring for the 64th time.

Baby 92 Layne Thomas was born shortly after his twin Jesse.  This was the only time I had two sets of twin boys in a row!

With big sister Gideon. 

My eighth set of twin boys.

Layne as a toddler.  He had the Fussy trait. 

Once they became toddlers, it was glaringly apparent that Jesse and Layne were identical.  They were only my second set of identical boys, the first being Babies 30 and 31, Archie and Owen. 

Me teaching Layne to talk. 

Hugs from big brother Kai. 

Layne as a child.  He gained the Happy Toddler and Kleptomaniac traits and had the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration. 

Layne, in the foreground, meets new sister Mardi.

Layne and Jesse at my Spooky Day party. 

Layne chose and interesting place to do his homework in the middle of winter. 

Layne as a teen.  He gained the Physically Gifted and Kleptomaniac traits and had the Public Enemy aspiration.  

With little sister Willow. 

Layne lifting weights.

Layne decided to live up to his aspiration pretty quickly.  He picked a fight with Knox Greenberg, who was the father of his younger brothers Rory and Edison.  

He was not happy!

Layne was the victim of mood swings.

Baby 95 Layne as a young adult.  His final traits were Self-Absorbed and Responsible.

Begrudgingly changing little brother Rory's nappy. 

Layne with Jett.  Little did they know Jett would soon be Layne's step-father!

Floating sadly.

Soon Layne got a girlfriend, Olive Tinker. 

He eventually moved in with Olive and her mothers in Evergreen Harbor. 

Soon Layne had proposed to Olive and she said yes!

They got married at the Von Haunt Estate.  They then had a daughter, Charlie.

Ahoy, Layne!

Elder Layne at my wedding. 

Layne passed away not long after this.  

He is survived by his daughter Charlie.
