She bought him an early birthday present - the big dog he had seen a few days before at the pet store an fell in love with, Tarr. </span></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/?"><img class="pic" height="311" alt="leg440.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/leg440.jpg" width="404" /></a><br /><br />Paul had been doing very well in school - he had gotten straight A's and was even on the Honor Roll! A few days passed and it was time for his birthday..Dalila had taken charge of the guest list herself. All of their friends and family arrived to help celebrate. He spent some time talking to his father as Aaron relived his teenage years in detailed stories.<br /><br /><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/?"><img class="pic" height="393" alt="leg441.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/leg441.jpg" width="277" /></a><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/?"><img class="pic" height="282" alt="leg447.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/leg447.jpg" width="406" /></a><br /><br />Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Dalila quickly counted heads, everyone she had invited had shown up. She didn't know who was at the door. Paul jumped for the door and beat her there.<br /><br /><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/?"><img class="pic" height="331" alt="leg442.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/leg442.jpg" width="406" /></a><br /><br />This stranger said his name was Perry and he had been a friend of his mother's about 14 years ago. He was a bit surprised too, because he thought all of Dalila's children were now in college. Paul told him that, no, in fact he was the baby of the bunch and tonight was his birthday. They sat down on the couch for awhile and got to know each other while watching ESPN.<br /><br /><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/?"><img class="pic" height="284" alt="leg446.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/leg446.jpg" width="405" /></a><br /><br />Dalila stormed into the room and immediately ordered Perry to follow her to the den. A heated argument ensued...a few of the party stragglers got to ear an earful, enough to keep the local gossip chains happy. Dalila asked Perry why did he show up here tonight after all this time had passed, why tonight?? Perry had some questions of his own, like why he wasn't told he had a son? She told him he had no son here. Perry wasn't buying it and left saying he would be contacting a lawyer.<br /><br /><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/?"><img class="pic" height="357" alt="leg444.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/leg444.jpg" width="401" /></a><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/?"><img class="pic" height="332" alt="leg445.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/leg445.jpg" width="402" /></a><br /><br />Poor Aaron has began to get a little confused in old age. He just sat on the couch, not really sure of what was going on.<br /><br /><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/?"><img class="pic" height="395" alt="leg443.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/leg443.jpg" width="361" /></a><br /><br />After all the guests were gone and Aaron had gone to bed, Dalila tried to talk to Paul. It was evident he had been upset by Perry's arrival at the party. Paul, however, told his mom he knew the truth and he didn't know if he could forgive her. She tried to reassure him by telling him he was just imagining these things. Paul went on to tell her something shocking - he told her the moment he looked at Perry he thought he had looked in the mirror. He knew that was his father. He didn't want to talk to or look at his mother anymore. He just wanted to be alone!<br /><br /><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/?"><img class="pic" height="286" alt="leg448.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/leg448.jpg" width="403" /></a><br /><br />Later that week, the Supermodel Bandit(as she has been called in Legacy Land) struck again!! She managed to get into the house, the dogs didn't stop her, when the alarm went off!<br /><br /><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/?"><img class="pic" height="392" alt="leg433.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/leg433.jpg" width="279" /></a><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/?"><img class="pic" height="322" alt="leg434.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/leg434.jpg" width="406" /></a><br /><br />Finally the JHPD arrives!! It seems Barnie Fife was held up a bit because he couldn't figure out how to master the front door! This allowed her time to run.<br />Officer Barnie finally caught up with her, a fight ensued. She was later cuffed and taken downtown where she will be facing breaking and entering charges.<br /><br /><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/?"><img class="pic" height="387" alt="leg435.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/leg435.jpg" width="401" /></a><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/?"><img class="pic" height="402" alt="leg437.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/leg437.jpg" width="222" /></a><br /><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/?"><img class="pic" height="403" alt="leg436.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/leg436.jpg" width="274" /></a><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/?"><img class="pic" height="399" alt="leg438.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/leg438.jpg" width="342" /></a><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/?"><img class="pic" height="396" alt="leg439.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/leg439.jpg" width="380" /></a><br /><br />Paul decided to leave for college soon that next week. He left when his mom was at work so he didn't have to talk to her. With all the kids gone now, the house is pretty quiet. Dalila spends a lot of the day just looking out her window....thinking, dreaming of what life may have been like if she had made different choices.<br /><br /><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/?"><img class="pic" height="399" alt="leg432.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day1110/leg432.jpg" width="289" /></a><br /><br /><strong><em>The McGee House</em></strong><br /><br />When we last left Eden and Abel, they were still recovering from the shock of Anderson leaving High School to get married to Jessica Coleman and live on their own. Well..it seems Eden is still brewing over that whole ordeal!<br /><br /><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/?"><img class="pic" height="395" alt="leg473.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/leg473.jpg" width="277" /></a><br /><br />Abel thought pet therapy might help things out at home. He bought Eden a bird that she named Rainbow. She quickly taught him to talk and walked around everywhere with that bird around. However, she did have a problem remembering to close the door to the gate. Rainbow spent a lot of time at night getting to "stretch his wings!"<br /><br /><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/?"><img class="pic" height="393" alt="leg479.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/leg479.jpg" width="403" /></a><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/?"><img class="pic" height="383" alt="leg480.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/leg480.jpg" width="401" /></a><br /><br />One night, Eden's cousin Brandon came by, she thought this was a little odd. He politely asked if he could talk with Abel outside, something Eden thought was stranger. She went on to bed, Abel soon came upstairs. He said his conversation was about things going on with Brandon and Marlene, but he did not go into detail.<br /><br /><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/?"><img class="pic" height="348" alt="leg486.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/leg486.jpg" width="401" /></a><br /><br />That night, they were both awakened suddenly by the sound of the front door alarm! Abel jumped up and called the police immediately.<br /><br /><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/?"><img class="pic" height="398" alt="leg474.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/leg474.jpg" width="313" /></a><br /><br />Again, Officer Barnie Fife was on duty! This time he attacked the robber at the front door (he must have been practicing). He put up a fight, but was brought down without incident and was cuffed and taken to jail - alongside his partner in crime, the Supermodel Bandit. Thankfully nothing irreplaceable was taken.<br /><br /><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/?"><img class="pic" height="396" alt="leg476.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/leg476.jpg" width="368" /></a><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/?"><img class="pic" height="398" alt="leg478.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/leg478.jpg" width="315" /></a><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/?"><img class="pic" height="401" alt="leg477.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/leg477.jpg" width="321" /></a><br /><br />Eden had spent time planning a Golden Anniversary party, and that weekend it finally took place with all of their extended family in attendance! The party started off with a toast by the happy couple.<br /><br /><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/?"><img class="pic" height="275" alt="leg482.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/leg482.jpg" width="403" /></a><br /><br />Anderson provided the entertainment with his Grandpa Dale and Grandmother Marjorie (in the mascot uniform) in the background.<br /><br /><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/?"><img class="pic" height="400" alt="leg483.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/leg483.jpg" width="394" /></a><br /><br />The men spent time talking about sports...surprise!<br /><br /><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/?"><img class="pic" height="266" alt="leg485.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/leg485.jpg" width="406" /></a><br /><br />Eden and Dalila reminisced on growing up. They laughed until they were in tears at some of their childhood antics.<br /><br /><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/?"><img class="pic" height="386" alt="leg481.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/leg481.jpg" width="406" /></a><br /><br />Jessica was the only one who spent her time at the party by herself. She sat on the couch for the most part, she still didn't feel accepted by Anderson's family.<br /><br /><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/?"><img class="pic" height="400" alt="leg484.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/mcgee1110/leg484.jpg" width="360" /></a> </span></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><strong><em><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;">The Miller House</span></em></strong><br /><strong><em><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;"></span></em></strong><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">The puppies, Cole and Chok, grew into adults and looked just like their pround papa. Marlene worked with training Cole a lot, she gave Chok away to a friend from work who wanted a dog of her own. </span><br /><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/miller1110/?"><img class="pic" height="312" alt="leg455.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/miller1110/leg455.jpg" width="406" /></a></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;">Marlene continued to work in show business, but she noticed she was beginning to get frequent headaches. She thought this was a little odd, as she never had them before. Brandon saw his wife's pain from the headaches and urged her to go to the doctor, each time she refused.</span></p><p><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/miller1110/?"><img class="pic" height="400" alt="leg461.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/miller1110/leg461.jpg" width="353" /></a><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/miller1110/?"><img class="pic" height="233" alt="leg458.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/miller1110/leg458.jpg" width="406" /></a></p><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">Brandon came home one day with a new puppy, hoping that may help things. Hoping it would keep Marlene's mind occupied. The new puppy was Sheba. Cole and Sheba took a liking to one another and soon there were puppies...Cotton and Cloudie!</span></p><p><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/miller1110/?"><img class="pic" height="207" alt="leg463.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/miller1110/leg463.jpg" width="403" /></a><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/miller1110/?"><img class="pic" height="355" alt="leg464.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/miller1110/leg464.jpg" width="401" /></a></p><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">Marlene's headaches worsened.

He begged and pleaded with her to go see her doctor. He even threatened to put her in the car and take her himself. Keeping true to her stubbornness, she flatly refused - saying she was just too stressed from work. Brandon loved her so much and was so worried...this was killing him from the inside.</span></p><p><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/miller1110/?"><img class="pic" height="399" alt="leg467.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/miller1110/leg467.jpg" width="387" /></a><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/miller1110/?"><img class="pic" height="299" alt="leg466.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/miller1110/leg466.jpg" width="403" /></a><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;"><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/miller1110/?"><img class="pic" height="356" alt="leg465.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/miller1110/leg465.jpg" width="402" /></a></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;">After Brandon left her on the porch, she stood for a little while and thought about his words, about his concern. Then, the headaches came again - this time accompanied by some dizzyness. She didn't want to alarm Brandon anymore. She figured it would pass if she just laid down and got some sleep.</span></p><p><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/miller1110/?"><img class="pic" height="400" alt="leg469.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/miller1110/leg469.jpg" width="388" /></a><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/miller1110/?"><img class="pic" height="371" alt="leg462.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/miller1110/leg468.jpg" width="382" /></a><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/miller1110/?"><img class="pic" height="402" alt="leg468.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/miller1110/leg462.jpg" width="378" /></a></p><p><strong><em><span style="font-size:0;">The Legacy House</span></em></strong></p><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">Dale and Marjorie have led pretty hum-drum lives without anyone else in the house to keep them company.

Anderson, however, did not go to college. Instead, he and Jessica Coleman had left high school, gotten married, and moved into a house of their own. Paul, the baby of the generation, is still a child at home with his parents.<br /><br />Life for the kids at college, was not all the fun and games they had hoped for.

It seems her flirtations with Perry turned into more one day while Aaron was at work. Deana was old enough to know what was going on in her mother's bedroom and this upset her greatly. It hurt Dalila as a women and mother to hear the soft crying of her daughter outside the bedroom door.<br /><br /></span><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day/?"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><img class="pic" height="393" alt="leg297.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day/leg297.jpg" width="331" /></span></a><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day/?"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><img class="pic" height="378" alt="leg295.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day/leg295.jpg" width="336" /></span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><br /><br />Dalila hurried Perry off before Aaron came home. That night Aaron came home with a promotion to Freelance Photographer. He wanted to celebrate with his wife. He tucked the kids in early and made a romantic dinner for he and Dalila to share. They shared a beautiful night together that rekindled feelings in Dalila she hadn't felt in a long time.<br /><br /></span><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day/?"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><img class="pic" height="379" alt="leg298.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day/leg298.jpg" width="500" /></span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><br /><br />Dalila got up early the next morning to work out - it made her feel better, plus she needed the extra body points to gain another promotion at work. For the next few days, she didn't call Perry and he didn't come over. She hoped he would avoid her as well - she had decided she couldn't chance losing all that she had for stupid, selfish reasons.<br /><br /></span><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day/?"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><img class="pic" height="291" alt="leg300.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day/leg300.jpg" width="358" /></span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><br /><br />The next day they celebrated birthdays all around the house.

Aaron was so excited! Dalila was afraid this child was conceived out of her affair with Perry. She worried how this may affect her family - she knew this baby's arrival has the potential to destroy the lives and feelings of many others, and herself. She was too scared to confess her affair.<br /><br /></span><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day/?"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><img class="pic" height="398" alt="leg301.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day/leg301.jpg" width="303" /></span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><br /><br />This pregnancy was rather uneventful for Dalila. The kids were excited about a new brother or sister and they helped with the preparation of the nursery. Dalila was overwhelmed with feelings of guilt everyday she carried this baby. Perry soon started calling again, but she would just hang up on him. Soon, Dalila was wakened from sleep by labor pains. Oh no! She didn't know if she was truely ready for this. She gave birth to a baby boy, Paul. The minute she looked at her newborn all of her guilt turned into panic. Aaron would surely notice the difference in Paul's skin color, however, he did inherit his mom's big blue eyes.<br /><br /></span><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day/?"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><img class="pic" height="393" alt="leg305.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day/leg305.jpg" width="377" /></span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><br /><br />Aaron was very proud to have another son. He had a sensation that Dalila was hanging on to something that she hadn't confided in him. What could it be? He worked hard trying to gain another promotion, his growing family needed him to be a solid provider.<br /><br />Big sister Deana was the only one there to help Paul into toddlerhood! Deana remebers that man that used to come visit her mom and she saw her mom kissing him on more than one occassion. She also noticed the resemblance with Paul. She didn't care, he was her brother and she loved him whatever the truth was.<br /><br /></span><a href="http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day/?"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><img class="pic" height="396" alt="leg307.jpg" src="http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m31/tktrn/day/leg307.jpg" width="404" /></span></a>tktrn99http://www.blogger.com/profile/08588801522878311536noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25563140.post-64000604617409615362006-09-29T16:39:00.000-05:002006-09-29T17:41:48.865-05:00Welcome Home<span style="font-family:verdana;">When we last checked in, all of the kids from Generation 3 had graduated from Uni and had headed back to Jackson Heights to start out there adult lives. Let's check in on each of them and see how things are going. Let's start off with Dalila...</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;">The Day House</span></strong><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">After graduation, Dalila bought a house of her own a few blocks away from the home she grew up in. She invited Aaron over to see her new place. He decided to move in, and soon they were married in a small ceremony at their new home.</span><br /><br /><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/?"><img class="pic" height="358" alt="leg187.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/leg187.jpg" width="267" /></a><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/?"><img class="pic" height="318" alt="leg191.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/leg191.jpg" width="403" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">There was enough money left over after Aaron moved in for them to live off of for awhile - Dalila didn't want to start working so soon after finishing school. Aaron got a job as a Gas Station Attendant to bring home a few extra dollars. Dalila spent her days talking to her old college friends and just being silly!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span><br /><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/?"><img class="pic" height="345" alt="leg194.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/leg194.jpg" width="302" /></a><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/?"><img class="pic" height="398" alt="leg196.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/leg196.jpg" width="286" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Dalila knew it was time to start looking for a job after she discovered she was pregnant. <em>(I wonder how that could have happened??)</em></span><br /><em><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span></em><br /><em><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/?"><img class="pic" height="206" alt="leg193.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/leg193.jpg" width="398" /></a></em><br /><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/?"><img class="pic" height="339" alt="leg235.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/leg235.jpg" width="299" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">She found a job working at the same place Aaron was working, but she didn't start to work until after the baby was born. Soon enough, that time came - and she gave birth to a baby girl. Deana. She was the apple of her daddy's eye! As she grew into a toddler, Aaron worked with her teaching her to walk and talk and helping her to use the potty like a "big kid."</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/?"><img class="pic" height="400" alt="leg198.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/leg198.jpg" width="274" /></a><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/?"><img class="pic" height="198" alt="leg234.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/leg234.jpg" width="404" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Dalila and Aaron went back to work and left Deana in the capable (?) hands of one of the local nannies. Deana soon grew into a beautiful little girl and started to school. Aaron could not believe she had grown up so fast. Dalila soon had some news to share with the family, she was pregnant again!</span><br /><br /><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/?"><img class="pic" height="327" alt="leg239.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/leg239.jpg" width="277" /></a><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/?"><img class="pic" height="398" alt="leg197.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/leg197.jpg" width="224" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">This time, pregnancy was a bit more difficult for Dalila - she couldn't get enough to eat and passed out in the floor a few times from exhaustion! It paid off in the end! One night while her sister-in-law was visiting, she went in to labor and delievered not one, but two healthy babies. A boy and girl, Arden and Ardith, joined the family. Everyone celebrated!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/?"><img class="pic" height="362" alt="leg236.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/leg236.jpg" width="404" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Dalila began to feel unattractive after the birth of the twins. Aaron said it was all in her mind, but she saw everyday how much her body had changed after two pregnancies. She invited her old college friend, Perry Bailey, over to visit. Aaron was still at work and she felt lonely. She felt like he looked at her in a way Aaron hadn't in a long time - she felt like a woman again! Their relationship soon grew into much more! Perry even came by and left gifts for Dalila - she had to move quickly to keep Aaron from finding them.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/?"><img class="pic" height="355" alt="leg238.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/leg238.jpg" width="398" /></a><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/?"><img class="pic" height="368" alt="leg241.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/nonheirday/leg241.jpg" width="404" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Dalila and Aaron helped celebrate the twins birthday!

Eden went back to work immediately, not taking any time off after Anderson's birth.

Then, Dalila got to blow out the candles on her own cake. She put a lot of thought into her wish before blowing out those candles.</span><br /></span><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/?"><img class="pic" height="229" alt="leg110-2.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/leg110-2.jpg" width="403" /></a><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/?"><img class="pic" height="365" alt="leg111-2.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/leg111-2.jpg" width="321" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">They went out and bought new clothes before heading to school the next day.

Dale did bring home his girlfriend from school, Jessica Coleman. One afternoon, after completing his homework - he shared his first kiss with Jessica. He had hopes she would come to college with him, but her family was limited on funds. She was not sure if she was going to be able to attend or not.<br /></span><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/?"><img class="pic" height="397" alt="leg116-1.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/leg116-1.jpg" width="272" /></a><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/?"><img class="pic" height="397" alt="leg117-1.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/leg117-1.jpg" width="373" /></a><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/?"><img class="pic" height="262" alt="leg129-1.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/leg129-1.jpg" width="402" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">It was soon time to celebrate Eden's birthday. Her mom helped her celebrate, as everyone else in the house was busy studying. She had grown into quite a busy little girl - she loved playing with her new dollhouse she had gotten for her birthday.

Brandon celebrated his birthday with his family. He had grown to have aspirations of starting his own Family - his LTW is to have 6 grandchildren. (One step at a time, Brandon)</span><br /></span><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/?"><img class="pic" height="301" alt="leg120-1.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/leg120-1.jpg" width="402" /></a><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/?"><img class="pic" height="397" alt="leg121-1.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/leg121-1.jpg" width="297" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">Bryson, Amy, and Brandon were woke in the middle of the night when their security alarm went off in the house, only to find local thug, Lois Montgomery, had broken in and stolen their television. The Jackson Heights PD arrived before he could make a quick get away.</span><br /><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/?"><img class="pic" height="400" alt="leg122-1.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/leg122-1.jpg" width="364" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">After a struggle with the police, Louis was cuffed, taken to the patrol car, and driven to the Jackson Height Police Station where charges would be filed. Bryson and Amy were relieved they had invested in homeowner's insurance - it covered the cost of a replacement television.</span><br /></span><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/?"><img class="pic" height="331" alt="leg123-1.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/leg123-1.jpg" width="401" /></a><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/?"><img class="pic" height="379" alt="leg124-1.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/leg124-1.jpg" width="404" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Soon Amy came home with a big bonus after being promoted to Congessperson. This would more than pay for a college tuition for Brandon. Although, he did receive a $1000 scholarship for keeping his grades up. With this offer in front of him, he decided he was ready to make the jump to college. He told his mom and dad Good-Bye and got into the cab that was waiting to take him to his new life at Jackson Heights University</span>.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/?"><img class="pic" height="215" alt="leg127-1.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/leg127-1.jpg" /></a><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/?"><img class="pic" height="398" alt="leg128-1.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/leg128-1.jpg" width="322" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Back at the Legacy house, Eden was ready to celebrate another birthday.

It was scary for a moment or two, but she thought quickly and was able to extinguish the fire with little damage to the kitchen.</span><br /></span><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/?"><img class="pic" height="362" alt="leg130.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/leg130.jpg" width="345" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The twins teenage years were drawing to an end. Dale managed to get $4000 in scholarships. After talking it over with their mom and dad, they decided they had aquired enough scholarship money and skills to head off to college. Dalila turned her back on the life she had known, wanting to experience more in college.</span><br /></span><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/?"><img class="pic" height="400" alt="leg132.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/leg132.jpg" width="267" /></a><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/?"><img class="pic" height="341" alt="leg134.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/leg134.jpg" width="404" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Eden begged and pleaded with her mom and dad, she didn't want to go to college all by herself. The thought was just too scary! Although, Camille and Reginald did not feel she was ready yet, they allowed her to go with the twins. Dale had promised he would watch out for her, and they were only a phone call away.</span><br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/?"><img class="pic" height="400" alt="leg133.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/leg133.jpg" width="197" /></a></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">After all the children had left, Camille cried softly on Reginald's shoulder - "Empty Nest Syndrome" he thought. Camille went to the bathroom to gather her composure. She was stunned when she looked in the mirror and found an old woman staring back at her. One with lines for each laugh, each tear, each pain...</span><br /></span><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/?"><img class="pic" height="284" alt="leg135.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/Legacy2/leg135.jpg" width="401" /></a></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;"><em>Up next: Gen 3 in college...and, who will carry the Legacy?</em></span>tktrn99http://www.blogger.com/profile/08588801522878311536noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25563140.post-84691671091445059762006-09-12T17:21:00.000-05:002006-09-12T17:37:24.821-05:00Generation 2...Climbing Ladders<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Across town, Bryson moved into a place of his own. He was able to find a small, furnished house within his price range - the furniture needed upgraded, but he decided that could wait. He needed to find a job so he could begin remodeling the exterior of the house. He found a job in the athletic career, which is what he always wanted! After getting settled, he decided it was time to propose to his college sweetheart, Amy. She soon moved in (bringing enough money to finish remodeling) and they were married in a quiet ceremony at home. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"><img class="pic" height="272" alt="leg75.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg75.jpg" width="392" /></a><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"><img class="pic" height="390" alt="leg77.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg77.jpg" width="243" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Amy found a job in politics and worked hard getting to know more people in the community. Camille came over frequently to visit and check out the new house, Bryson felt as if she took pride in the fact that she had been chosen to carry the family's legacy and not him - a son. He resented her for that fact. They soon had good news to share - Amy was expecting. Bryson was so excited - always talking to her belly or playing music.</span><br /><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"><img class="pic" height="396" alt="leg78.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg78.jpg" width="332" /></a><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"><img class="pic" height="385" alt="leg80.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg80.jpg" width="313" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Amy soon gave birth to a healthy baby boy. She wanted him to have a name close to his father and grandfather, so he was named Brandon. He was a good baby and soon grew into a very curious toddler. He had his daddy's looks with his mommy's red hair.<br /><br /></span><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"><img class="pic" height="347" alt="leg98.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg98.jpg" width="348" /></a><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"><img class="pic" height="375" alt="leg100.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg100.jpg" width="403" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Brandon managed to learn all three skills before his birthday. Luckily, at that time, Bryson and Amy were working opposite schedules - which allowed them time to work with him, instead of being left in the semi-capable hands of the nanny. However, after learning how to walk, Brandon began climbing out of his bed at night. (NOTE: I'd heard of this happening to others, but I'd never had it happen before - when I realized what he was doing, I had to snap this picture!)</span><br /><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"><img class="pic" height="295" alt="leg101.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg101.jpg" width="190" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Brandon seemed to grow up overnight! He had a birthday party with his family. Amy couldn't believe that her baby would soon be starting to school. Brandon grew up into one of the cutest kids in Jackson Heights! (Brandon's stats - Sagittarius 7,1,9,10,4)<br /></span><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"><img class="pic" height="313" alt="leg102.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg102.jpg" width="394" /></a><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"><img class="pic" height="335" alt="leg104.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg104.jpg" width="194" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Amy and Bryson felt that private school would provide for the best education for Brandon. They invited the headmaster over for dinner and gave him a wonderful tour of their newly-renovated home. Their efforts paid off, Bryson was accepted to Jackson Heights Academy.<br /></span><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"><img class="pic" height="398" alt="leg105.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg105.jpg" width="347" /></a><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"><img class="pic" height="350" alt="leg106.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg106.jpg" width="210" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Back at the Legacy house, things were not going that well. Soon after the birth of the twins, Camille returned to work. Though she and Reginald had managed to gain several promotions, she was not in a good mood after going back to work. She rejected his attempts to kiss her one night and they spent a few nights in seperate beds. The twins grew into active toddlers. They seemed to exhaust the nanny by halfway through her shift! Reginald used his days off to work with both of them - teaching them how to walk and talk.<br /></span><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"><img class="pic" height="199" alt="leg83.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg83.jpg" width="205" /></a><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"><img class="pic" height="199" alt="leg82.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg82.jpg" width="190" /></a><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"><img class="pic" height="359" alt="leg84.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg84.jpg" width="377" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Before long, it was birthday time for the twins. Camille through a party with friends and family. Grandpa Bradford was so proud to get to see them grow up.<br /></span><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"><img class="pic" height="390" alt="leg87.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg87.jpg" width="346" /></a><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"><img class="pic" height="393" alt="leg89.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg89.jpg" width="370" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">They each grew into cute children. Camille felt each needed new clothes and new haircuts before starting to school. (Stats: Dalila - Scorpio 7,3,10,3,2 Dale - Gemini 5,8,9,7,3)</span><br /><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"><img class="pic" height="397" alt="leg91.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg91.jpg" width="195" /></a><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"><img class="pic" height="365" alt="leg92.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg92.jpg" width="213" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Camille and Reginald soon made up and were sleeping in the same bed again - and, she soon learned she was pregnant again. While off on maternity leave, Camille used the time to keep in touch with old friends and begin to make some new ones in town. Before long, baby Eden entered the world. Camille swore no more kids, but Reginald wanted a houseful.</span><br /><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"><img class="pic" height="391" alt="LEG86.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/LEG86.jpg" width="265" /></a><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"><img class="pic" height="190" alt="leg94.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg94.jpg" width="383" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Of course, being concerned parents, Camille and Reginald wanted the twins to attend private school as well. They decided to invite the headmaster over for dinner. They were confident that with their influence the twins would secure a spot at Jackson Heights Academy. That night, anything that could go wrong - did!! Reginald met the headmaster outside to chat while Camille prepared pork chops for dinner. Before they even had a chance to get to the dinner table, Grim arrived for Bradford. His time with the grandchildren was over.<br /></span><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"><img class="pic" height="399" alt="leg95.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg95.jpg" width="286" /></a> <a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"><img class="pic" height="321" alt="leg96.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg96.jpg" width="394" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">This threw Camille off track while cooking dinner and it got burned a little.

He was not too pleased and the twins were not accepted into private school. Reginald and Camille celebrated Eden's birthday after the disappointing evening - at least this would lift their spirits. Eden turned out to be a pretty little girl.<br /></span><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"><img class="pic" height="397" alt="leg85.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg85.jpg" width="162" /> </a><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"><img class="pic" height="395" alt="leg107.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg107.jpg" width="311" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">They did get one piece of good news after all that had happened ... </span><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"><img class="pic" height="147" alt="leg108.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg108.jpg" width="397" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/?"></a>tktrn99http://www.blogger.com/profile/08588801522878311536noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25563140.post-54114438244420960902006-09-09T11:25:00.000-05:002006-09-09T11:38:06.824-05:00One ending...new beginningsWhile the kids were busy with their last semester of school, Andrea decided she had enough money to buy a small business in town and open up a flower shop. She worked a lot at home trying to perfect her flower arrangement skills.<br /><center><br /><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg64.jpg" /></center><div align="left">Meanwhile, Camille didn't put a lot of effort into her last semester (at least, not into her studying) Her efforts went to spending time with Professor Reginald in attempt to boost her grades. She also had found herself slightly attracted to him. <div align="center"><br /><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg65.jpg" /><br /><br /></div><div align="left">Soon, it was graduation time! Both Camille and Bryson managed to graduate with 4.0 GPA's. They threw a big graduation party with all their family and friends in attendance. As a suprise, Professor Reginald proposed to Camille at the party and she accepted! Afterwards, her mother pulled her aside and told her that now she would be starting a family of her own, it had been decided that she was to inherit the family house and land. Andrea and Bradford asked her to move back home. They promised to throw a lavish wedding for her. <center><br /><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg67.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg68.jpg" /> </center><center></center><div align="left">Camille soon moved back home, leaving her college years behind her with fond memories. She quickly got a job in the Paranormal tract. She spent a few days planning her wedding. After all the details were aligned, she and Professor Reginald were married under the beautiful moonlight at the family house. Everything went wonderfully. That night, Professor Reginald insisted they try for a baby as he wanted to start a family immediately! <center><br /><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg70.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg71.jpg" /><br /><br /></center><div align="left">They family suffered a loss the next night. While working on flower arrangements. The Grim Reaper came for Andrea - it seems her time had run out. (no pics, sorry!) In her will, she left the flower shop to Bradford. There was, however, some good news to be shared. Reginald got a job in the Military and, Camille learned, that she was pregnant. Generation three was almost upon them.<br /></div><div align="center"><br /><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg72.jpg" /><br /><br /></div><div align="left">Camille went into labor while Reginald was at work. Thankfully, they had already got the second floor additions to the house complete, which would include the baby's room. Bradford was the only one at home - he was able to coach Camille through her labor and helped to deliver the TWO newest members of the family. A baby boy, Dale and baby girl, Delila. <center><br /><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg73.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg74.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /></center><br /></div><br /><br /><br /></div></div></div>tktrn99http://www.blogger.com/profile/08588801522878311536noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25563140.post-34848967951404668242006-09-06T18:05:00.000-05:002006-09-06T18:18:13.841-05:00Generation 2...Who will carry on?<div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Bryson and Camille arrived at Jackson Heights University accompanied by their mother, who was in tears that they had grown up so fast. (Camille was obviously embarrassed!) Bryson majored in Drama and Camille majored in Art - she thought it would be fun and a good way to meet lots of friends. They lived in the dorms and studied hard the first semester, though Camille did not like devoting time to her studies. Bryson even worked in the cafeteria to make extra money.</span> </div><center><br /><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg54.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg48.jpg" /><br /><br /></center><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Camille did her part to earn extra money by selling paintings she worked on in her free time. They didn't sell for much, but Bryson said every little bit helped. She soon learned that she could use her female charm to influence others, especially the men in the dorm, to do her homework or write her term papers. That left her more free time to enjoy as she pleased!</span> </div><div align="center"><br /><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg50.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg47.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;">Bryson studied hard and made several friends in the dorm. He even "cut loose" with some dancing on rare occasions. He soon noticed a cheerleader, Amy Oliver, who caught his eye. He got to be good friends with her and would bashfully flirt with her - she seemed to enjoy it.</span></div></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"><div align="left"><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg45.jpg" /><br /><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg49.jpg" /><br /></div><div align="center"><br /><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg52.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"><span style="font-size:100%;">They both had managed to keep 4.0 grade point averages through their Sophomore year - though, only one by actually studying. Camille learned a better way to boost her grades was to flirt with one of her professors, Reginald Barrett. She thought he was fairly attractive, but they had to keep their relationship a secret. They would meet outside her dorm for innocent flirting, but one night at the end of the semester, he asked her to come downtown for a nice dinner with him.</span> </div><div align="center"><br /><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg51.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg58.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;">Bryson asked Amy out on a date - they had such a connection, she dropped off an expensive statue to him one night afterwards. Of course, he sold it for the cash. Meanwhile, Camille's methods for influencing her dorm mates had backfired on her. She was able to salvage most of her friendships and soon became the "Big Sim on Campus." </span></div><center><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg57.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg56.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg59.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;">By the end of their Junior year, Bryson had managed to save a little over 20,000 Simoleons. They agreed with this money they could move out of the dorms and have a nice place of their own. Camille even suggested becoming Jackson Heights University's first Greek House. They through one last party at the dorm - then headed off for the new house to start living the Greek life. </span></center><center><br /><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg60.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg61.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg63.jpg" /><br /><br /><br />Who will carry on the Legacy?<br /><br />NOTE: On the previous post, I forgot to post the stats for Gen 2<br />Bryson - Fortune aspiration, Virgo (10,2,9,10,1) LTW: Top of Athletic career<br />Camille - Popularity aspiration, Sagittarius (5,3,10,6,3) LTW: 20 Simulations Best Friends<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><br /><br /></center><center></center><div align="left"><br /></div></span>tktrn99http://www.blogger.com/profile/08588801522878311536noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25563140.post-42958780068731680982006-09-03T19:35:00.000-05:002006-08-31T22:06:55.972-05:00A Growing Family<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/4100/3120/1600/leg24.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/4100/3120/320/leg24.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Bradford soon got a job in the criminal career tract.

So, during her time after returning to work, she worked with Bryson teaching him to talk and use the potty! He soon blossomed into a handsome little boy. He was a good student, but quiet. He studied a lot - he seems to have taken after his dad! </span><br /><div align="left"><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg27.jpg" /> </div><p align="right"></p><p align="right"></p><p align="right"></p><p align="right"><img alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l199/tlkrn99/leg29.jpg" /></p><p align="right"></p><div align="left"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;">Andrea and Bradford worked hard and gained several promotions each.
