The Roberts Family- Week 2

The Family is Getting Bigger

Weekly Update Written by: Christy



At the beginning of the week, I fell in love with Gainell and moved in with them. I really feel that I have found my place in this neighborhood now.

[Christy's info: she's a family Sim with the LTW to 6 grandchildren. She had a job in the military career which she kept. She came in with $14,000.]




Gainell then proposed engagement to me soon after I moved in. I said yes. I really hope to have a child of my own so that I may have six grandchildren. I really want to have a lot of little grandchildren to spoil.




Leah, Gainell's second youngest child, became a teenager and was centered around romance and has a desire to be reach the top of the education career.




I had dinner with all of them for the first time tonight. However, we had to eat in shifts as there weren't enough chairs for everybody present. I enjoyed eating with my mother-in-law, Rylie, and Gainell's oldest kids, Hunter and Brooke. Those two twins are really mature for their age. Probably due to having to help raise their younger sisters.




The house got upgraded and wallpaper and flooring added. I was glad that the house was able to be upgraded with the funds that I had saved up since I got here.




I was glad that the older members of the family were very willing to treat me as their mother and weren't trying to push me away or cause problems. I think they realize that their younger siblings need a mother figure in their life.




I noticed how close Brooke and Leah were and knew that it was from Brooke being Leah's mother figure for a good chunck of her childhood. I hope that I will become close to Gainell's children as well.




One of the local neighborhood kids was over playing with Tara. Her name was Natalie Hall. Those two soon became best friends. However, their age difference will probably keep them out of Uni together. Two other neighborhood kids came over, Kori Thomas and Amanda Kirkman. They couldn't stay very long as the neighborhood kid curfew came up and they had to run home.




I soon proposed marriage to Gainell. He accepted. He is now Gainell Stratton. We soon got onto trying for our first child.




I ate breakfast with my mother-in-law and a member of the elder club that was over visiting Rylie, Nick Davison.




Hunter soon became best friends with Meadow Thayer. I had heard from Gainell that those two were close. I'm pretty sure that those two will end up together. I've been around the block enough to know that.




I was pregnant. Gainell and I were really happy that this happened on our first try. I really do hope that it is a girl. I would really love to have a little girl to raise.




Tara became a teenager a few nights later. She strives to be popular and become a celebrity chef. She is very pretty. I really hope that my child is as cute as Gainell's kids with his first wife.




A few nights later, Rylie passed away. I was too tired to really feel anything and Rylie and I weren't very close. The rest of the family was devastated, though. They were really close to Rylie.




I soon gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Gainell and I decided to name her Ameshisuto. She has red hair and her father's eyes.




Tara was a big help with Ameshisuto. I think Ameshisuto will get a nickname when she gets older. I don't think her friends will want to call her by her full name.




We added a pretty nice nursery onto the house. Here is a good shot of the house as it is now. I'm hoping we will soon be able to have separate rooms for each child. I hate having to have all of us in the same bedroom.




Ame (not even a kid and she has a nickname) grew into a pretty toddler.

[Ameshisuto is a scorpio.]




Tara continued to be a good help with Ame. I think she will make a good mother when she grows up.




On the Monday that the week was over, a fire started at the oven.

[That is why you make sure the game is on pause before you step away from the game. Thank goodness I had put the sprinkler in or who knows what would have happened.]
