Dale's update

Our Legacy house has been very busy with all of the activities of four growing children! A big birthday celebration was held for both sets of twins as Farrell and Ferrah grew into young children and Grace and Ginger made the leap into toddlerhood.

Unfortunately, the party spirit was ruined by the return of Grimmy. He was here for Camille, she wasn't willing to go...she still wanted to see her lovely family grow up. Grimmy would listen to none of her pleas..her time was up!

Reginald was absolutely devisatated to loose the love of his life! He had always been prepared to go first. Now he didn't know what to do!

Some of the other family members who had passed on came out that night to welcome Camille to the 'other side.' Poor Ferrell nearly got scared out of his socks!

Ferrah seemed to have the natural artistic abilities of her Grandmother Camille. She took to painting easily and would spend hours after school working on her pictures, trying to get them 'just right!'

A few days later, the house was hit with tragedy again, this time Grimmy came for Reginald. He faced Grimmy head on. He welcomed the afterlife so he could again be with his beloved Camille. They were buried together on the grounds of the Whitmore Estate.

Grace and Ginger soon grew up and started school with their older brother and sister. They kids all played well together. It gave Marjorie such pleasure seeing her children growing up so well.

Dale was now working as a Fashion Photographer and was a mere two points away from attaining his lifetime want. While Marjorie was now working as a SWAT team leader.

Seemingly overnight, it was time for Ferrell and Ferrah to grow into teenagers! Oh, no! Driving lessons, first dates! As they have aged, they have grown closer to one another..they can often finish one another's sentances! (Both Pleasure sims, Ferrah - Sagittarius 2,3,10,10,3 Ferrall - Scorpio 7,5,10,4,6) Ferrah wants to have 50 first dates and Ferrall wants to become a celebrity chef.

For some reason, one day after being in a school play, Ferrah found a big pair of scissors and decided she needed some fun before starting on her homework. She ran and ran! Unfortunately, she soon found out that running with scissors is not a good idea. The family was shocked!! Ferrell began to spend more time to himself after she passed away...he felt like there was no one left who understood him.

leg318.jpgleg320.jpgleg321.jpg

He often found himself walking into her bedroom hoping she would jump out from under the bed laughing. The room still smelled like her perfume. He finally decided to head to college and away from reminders of his sister, who was not returning. Dale and Marjorie were glad he decided to head to college, but worried if he was ready so soon after Ferrah's death.

Grace and Ginger did very well in school and played with each other well. They soon turned into beautiful young teenagers! (both Romance sims Grace - Gemini 5,8,9,6,3 Ginger - Gemini 5,9,9,7,3)

leg326.jpgleg329.jpgleg328.jpg

Grace wants to have 20 simultaneous lovers, while Ginger wants to become a Professional Party Guest. How different twin sisters can be!

Dale finally achieved his LTW, now he has aspirations of becoming a Mad Scientist!

leg332.jpg

Ferrah has started showing up in the house at night - she seems to take pleasure in scaring the girls. She followed Grace to the shower and scared her right after! At least she had an empty bladder!!

Brandon's Update

Well, it looks like new baby Brodon has already grown into a toddler! His grandpa was his best buddy, teaching him to walk and talk.

leg252.jpgleg254.jpg

Brandon did try and teach his son necessary skills, like potty training, but strange things seemed to occur when he tried. Hmm....not sure how to even describe this...

leg253.jpg

Despite, having Brandon and his family around. Bryson and Amy were still very affectionate with one another.

leg251.jpg

Broden soon grew up into a handsome boy with his father's red hair. His grandparents were so pround of him. Here we seeing heading off to his first day of school. Grandpa Bryson still snuck into his room each night to tuck him in extra tight.

leg255.jpgleg309.jpg

Soon the household all knew the good news that Marlene was pregnant again. There was not a lot of time to enjoy the good news, for Grimmy came one night. It seems Amy would not live to see her second grandchild...her time was up! The family bought her a platinum headstone and her memorial service was held in the Nonheir Cemetary in Jackson Heights. (note: my nonheir houses are not being scored, so their headstones will all be put in the cemetary I created as a community lot)

leg308.jpgleg314.jpg

Marlene was off work from her job as a Supporting Player on maternity leave. She tried her best to help around the house and to keep Bryson's mind off of Amy's death. Soon, it came time for her to deliver. Only Bryson was at home when labor started. With his help, she delivered a healthy baby girl, Melisa. Bryson was overjoyed at her arrival!

leg310.jpgleg311.jpg

Marlene returned to work and Bryson took full baby duty. He was glad to do it and it helped him forget how badly he missed Amy, how cold it was sleeping alone in bed after all of those years with her by his side. Brodon continued his good grades and, before his Grandpa could believe, he had grown into a handsome young man (Fortune, Aries, 7,9,9,10,0) with dreams to
some day own five top-level businesses of his own.

leg312.jpg

Following soon, Melisa's infant days were over and she grew into toddlerhood with the help of her big brother. Bryson was very happy, but he wondered how much of his grandchildren's life would he be around to see. He missed his dear Amy, but got no greater pleasure than watching his grandchildren.

Eden's Update

At Eden's house, life had been going smoothly. Abel had gotten a promotion to Science teacher and was working toward becoming a Project Leader. Eden was still trying to get into the Hall of Fame, she was currently the MVP in Jackson Heights! Anderson grew into a curious toddler, exploring every inch of the house. He definately kept mom and dad on their toes!

leg256.jpg

One night, while everyone was sleeping...a stranger crept up outside.

leg259.jpg

She was able to get inside of their home, but did set off the burgler alarm in doing so. She surveyed the house to see what she could make off with.

leg260.jpg

Finally the JHPD arrived!! The burgler wasn't going to go down without a fight!!

leg261.jpgleg262.jpg

In the end, the bad guy got caught! She hadn't taken anything from the house, so they were only going to charge her with breaking/entering and attempted burglery.

leg263.jpg

Can you believe that Eden and Abel worked through most of Anderson's toddler years. Soon, it was birthday time again! Anderson was so excited he would be starting school and he would get to ride on a 'big kid' school bus like his cousins!

leg257.jpgleg258.jpg

What a cutie Anderson has turned into!

Time passed..with Abel and Eden each gaining promotions. They worked hard at making friends and keeping their skills sharp for the next step up the ladder. Before they realized, Anderson was going to become a teenager.

leg315.jpgleg316.jpg (Fortune sim - Gemini 3,9,10,7,3) Man, did he turn out good! His dream is to become Chief of Staff one day, so he got an after school job in the medical field.

His parents did want him to attend Jackson Heights Acadamy - they invited the headmaster over for dinner and socializing. Things went quite well as Anderson was accepted! He looked so handsome heading out to school his first day.


leg336.jpgleg337.jpg

Anderson brought a friend, Jessica, home from school one day. She ate dinner with his parents then left before he returned from work. Jessica and Anderson had already made plans to sneak out together that night. They were caught downtown trying to get into an Adult club - busted! They were both taken home by the police.

leg339.jpg

The next day, he brought Jessica home again. His parents walked in to find them cuddled up together on the couch. They also shared their first kiss that day. The next week they had made dinner for Abel and Eden. They wanted to tell them their plans for the future - they were going to move in together, finish high school, and get jobs. College was not in their plans!
