The Adams Family- Week 2

Just Another Week

Weekly Update Written By: Ginny



Father invited Ms. Hall over as Mike and I got on the bus to go to school. They were engaged, so I had a feeling Father was going to ask if she wanted to move in. She did agree to move in, though she was going to have her daughter Natalie stay at the house as she was headed to University within the week.




Later that day before Mike and I got home, Father proposed marriage to Ms. Hall. Ms. Hall agreed and she became my step-mother. Father took her last name as per rules and regulations here in Prosperity Heights.




Father is a good dad to my half brother Nathan. Nathan is so cute! I'm glad Father is truly happy again.




Father began to teach Nathan how to walk. I'm glad Nathan gets to grow up with a mother and a father.




I aged into a teenager today. I decided that I wanted to be popular. Maybe then I will have a successful marriage to someone.




Grandfather helped out with Nathan. I think they enjoy having another little kid running around the place. Keeps the house interesting.




Even though Father is trying very hard to get to the top of the adventurer career track in Prosperity Heights and is dealing with Nathan at the same time, he still finds time to pillow fight with Mike or with me.




Nathan is so cute! I now understand how Father felt when Mike and when I was a toddler.




Father calls Natalie pretty much every night. I think he feels slightly bad that she had to stay there to hold the furniture there instead of moving here. He also is making sure that she doesn't need anything.




Tonight was Nathan's birthday. He grew into a good outfit, thankfully. Father and Ann don't feel like spending money on unnecessary things if they don't absolutely have to. I don't blame them at all.




The next day, Gramps died of old age. We were all devastated. We were torn though, Father was at work. Part of us said call him and tell him and part of us said wait until he gets home to tell him. We decided to wait and tell him when he got home. Father was devasted as well when he got home.




Father and Ann soon began to try for a second child. I think they are secretly hoping for a female child.




Here is what the house looks like after the second week here in Prosperity Heights.

The Hall Family- Week 2

Unexpected Joy

Weekly Update Written By: Natalie




Mother invited over Jon again today. She is falling head over heals for Jon. I hope she doesn't get pregnant before she gets married. I'd hate for Jon to abandon Mother because she is pregnant.




I could tell that Jon and Mother were madly in love. I know that they will probably end up marrying. I just hope it is before they have a child together rather than after.




That night was my birthday. I grew up and had a pretty good outfit to wear. It was an outfit that my mom wore when she was a teen and had kept. I decided that I was going to seek the knowledge to be smart and have a good job so that when I am a mother I can provide for my daughter like mine did for me.




I decided that the first thing I would do as a teenager was help out Mother by fixing dinner. I enjoy learning how long things take to cook and what not.




Jon was over again. They went out to the car to discuss grown up things in the car. I looked out of the door at one point and saw that they were doing more than just talking.




Mother complained of nausea the next day. I was sure the birth control had failed. She told me that she had had some of the stuff at the pot luck lunch at the station the day before and that something there must have been bad.




However when she started showing shortly afterwards, we both knew she was pregnant again.




Mother invited Jon over the next day. She told him she was pregnant and that the birth control must have failed. Jon wasn't the happiest person in the world about it, but I knew he was pleased to know that he was going to be a father again.




I guess Mother didn't want to raise her unborn child alone like she did me as she soon proposed engagement to Jon. I think she wanted to make sure that the unborn child had more of a childhood than I did. I'm glad she is doing this as I will be able to go to college instead of helping her raise the child.




One of the other teens in the neighborhood came over that afternoon. His name is Patrick Kirkman. As we talked that day and got to know each other, we found out that we had a lot in common. I hope he comes around again.




A few days later, Mother went into labor. I really hope she isn't having twins. We are living alone right now. I'm not sure Mother and I can handle two infants and make it through the day.




Mother gave birth to a healthy baby boy. His name is Nathan Hall.




Jon came over shortly afterwards to meet his third child and second son. I can tell why Mother decided to propose engagement. Jon's a caring father. He is willing to help pay for college even though there is no blood ties between us. He says it is because I am his step-daughter to be and that it was his responsibility to help me.




Nathan was soon a toddler. He's handsome. He also got a good outfit as Jon helped out and gave us the money we needed to get him a good outfit.

[Nathan's personality: 2/10/9/10/3, Sagittarius]




Mother alternated between teaching Nathan to walk, talk, and to use the potty. I also helped her some, but she told me that doing good in school was to be my priority and not helping out with Nathan.




Monday has come and this is what the house looks like after adding a nursery to it.

The Davison Family- Week 2

Moving On

Weekly Update Written By: Lily




The week started off slowly. I vaguely remember what my mom did when I was getting read for school. I really miss having her around to send me off to school before she headed for work at the office.




After school and before Gramps and I head off for our jobs, we played a game of red hands and talked while doing it to catch up. I really do like that I have someone at home with me at times to socialize with. I also wish I knew who my father was.




Kori Thomas came over today. We talked over a late lunch for a while. We had something in common: we lived with one of our grandparents. However, Kori lived with her two other siblings, Lucius and her twin Nicholas. I wish I had a sibling to talk to, but I guess I will never know if I do have half-siblings or not.




Most days after work, I would do my homework and Gramps would chat with the people in the neighborhood to increase how well we are known. I'm glad he is fitting in here. I would hate for him to have just come here and stayed in the house and didn't socialize with anyone. He tried that for a bit after Grandma and Mom had died.




I brought home Lucius Thomas from school a few days later. I knew he was the older brother of Kori, a good friend. However, Kori is younger than I am and I know that Lucius is the "one" and I won't cheat on him.




I knew we were going to be close when we had our first kiss on the first day of meeting. It was like something told us that we were meant for each other.




I went to work one day with a bad feeling. Like something bad was going to happen tonight but I couldn't place what it was.




After Gramps and I got home from work, I finally could place what was wrong: Gramps told me when he got out of the car that it was his time to go. I was losing the last known member of my family. Now I really wish I pressed Gramps to give me contact info for my father. He might have agreed to come stay with me.




I lost it at that point. I just realized that I was living on my own as a teenager--with no decent income. The two small incomes made for a semi-decent income, but with just my income it was going to be hard. But, I'll make it--I just have to.




I had gotten into private school earlier that week. Headmaster Williams called me after he heard about my grandfather's passing to make sure I was doing ok and if I needed anything. I thanked him for his concern and told I was fine and that I had what I needed. There were scholarships available for the needy and based on merit.




I called Lucius to talk about it and to socialize as there was no one here to socialize with anymore. I really miss Gramps. I just have to work really hard in school to get the most scholarships possible.




Monday morning came and I really didn't want to go to school, but I had no choice. I would lose the best income I could have if I didn't keep my grades up. Not to mention that I would be less likely to get the best scholarships if I got behind in school.

The Kirkman Family- Week 2

Family Connections

Weekly Update Written by: Amanda




The week started off nice. Dad told me Owen Adams came over that morning after Elise, Patrick, and I had headed off for school. He did say that the stay was pleasant, but he knew it was hard on Mom. Gramps did marry Ms. Thomas and it has made Mom sad that he isn't around anymore.




With the money that was coming in from Mom and Dad's jobs they were able to earn enough to buy a car to go to work.

[They still had sell stuff. Victoria wouldn't leave for work since the school bus, and the carpool for Daniel and Victoria came at the same time. Victoria wouldn't get in the carpool and I had to get them a car for Victoria to be able to go to work. That needs to get fixed.]




It was Elise's and my birthday that Monday night. Elise got to grow up first as she is the older twin. She decided that she was a romance oriented person who wants to be a mad scientist. She told me later that she would make millions off selling love potions of her own design.




I got to grow up after that. I didn't like the Elise had picked out the better looking of the outfits that we bought. We only had money for two outfits and these were the only two outfits that fit me. Plus, since I'm more family oriented this outfit fits Elise's aspiration more. I want to be Mayor of Prosperity Heights. I might change a few rules when I get there.




For all Elise is a romancer, Elise loves to play with Patrick. I'm sure she will make a good mother some day. That is if she gets married at all. I hope she does.




We all had breakfast together, except for Father. He had to finish up a report on the missing person's case he mentioned last night. The girl had been found and the final reports were being written.




Gramps came over later that day. I'm glad he came over, it will make mom happy. I know she is happy for him, but sad at the same time since he isn't around here anymore. He has even gotten a job to help make his family life easier there. He enjoys having the job according to Father who talked with him for a long time.




Gramps spent some time getting to know Patrick some more now that Patrick is a child. Gramps moved in with Mrs. Thomas shortly after Patrick grew up. I know Patrick is happy to know his grandfather.




We finally got to all sit down and have breakfast together. I really enjoy when we get to do these things as it brings us all closer together. I hope we continue to do this for a long time.




It was Patrick's birthday that day, so I spent the day playing with him. We decided we would have fun outside having a water baloon fight first. I know he enjoys the personal attention he is getting.




Patrick grew up and had a good outfit to wear. We had enough money to go to a pretty nice store for his clothes. Part of it was due to the fact that Elise and I grow up together and have to split the clothes money for the year. Patrick was more interested in having a good time. He also wants to be a criminal mastermind. He didn't tell Dad and I don't blame him. At least Patrick won't have to live in the house when he grows up.




I think Elise is going to the type of romancer that is focused on only one person. Will enjoy falling in love with one person and having all of the trappings that come with it. I'm not sure if her and her spouse will get engaged and/or married or whether they will simply live in the same house.




Three of the local teens came home with us from school, Meadow Thayer, Ivy Copur, and Sophie Miguel. We ate dinner together, though Mom was busy working on making sure the newspaper people didn't goof up on their facts for the last minute articles.




Patrick actually cleaned the shower without us having to ask him. I'm sure he will make a good husband for someone. If he can keep himself out of Dad's jails, that is.




Here is what the house looks like after one week is done. Not too much growth occured this week.
