I'm going to miss Josh when he starts pre-school next year. I know it'll only be for half a day but when I'm not working, I really cherish spending time with him.

It's usually just me, Susannah and Mama for dinner these days. Grandma is the one who cooks, so she's there too, of course. Mum isn't even home by dinner time most nights.
Kendal has been teaching at SDHS for just over a year and Troy is still unimpressed. This school is supposed to be his turf. Why couldn't his mother have got a job at some other school?
Since Lia walked in on Gordon and Jamie last year, Jamie has been calling. A lot. Even though he and Lia are no longer an item, he really doesn't want to see Jamie.
Happy 1st birthday to the Gentry twins, Oliver and Sebastian! The Gentry family are one of my playable NPC households. There's a new family portrait for these guys here, if you'd like to see it. I won't do family portraits for these families every round - just when there's a birthday.
I'm in Three Lakes now! I know it's the end of summer in Sullivan but it's the end of winter here and we're going into spring. Of course, their spring is more like our autumn, so it's still a little cool. I've brought all the rain with me too. Lucky I got used to that on Cape Elizabeth. It rained a lot while I was there too! I bet it rains the whole time I'm in Takemizu as well!

Joanna doesn't get back until next summer so until then, it's only phone calls for us, plus a letter here and there. When she finally gets back, I'm going to tell her that she's never leaving again!
Of everyone in the Clarke-Draper household, Galen's death hit Georgette the hardest. It wasn't surprising, considering she and Galen had been together since she was 14. Losing your partner of 63 years isn't something you can easily recover from.
Galen Clarke was born in 1938 to Nelson, a city planner and Gina Clarke, a legal secretary. He grew up in Exeter with his two older sisters, Drusilla and Xanthia. He had a lifelong passion for fitness and developed a love of music after picking up the guitar in high school.

I really would have liked to have been more involved in planning our wedding but in the end, I told Caleb that if we wanted to get married sometime in the next three years, he was going to have to take on the bulk of it. I'm so grateful that he was willing to!
Lake Draper has turned into a rather handsome 60 year-old! And hey, he has kind of a beard going on! He supposedly had it as an adult too but I must have added it when he was much younger and forgotten about it - it's hard to see blonde stubble on Lake's skin tone.
Liam knows where babies come from and seems not particularly pleased about it.
Spring time in Sullivan has always meant love and Liam and Arianna have definitely been overtaken by the spirit of romance this season. They haven't been very effective babysitters for Jonas and Tatiana lately because they've been out on date after date after date.

Eliot and I got married just over a year ago and I love it! I love seeing Eliot every day and I love having our own place that's just ours.

You can probably blame it on my friend Araminta but I've been thinking about babies lately. Both Jace and I have. It'd be nice to have another little one but we're definitely done. We realised the other day that it's only since Tessa has been at school that we've been able to lie in in the mornings and we really don't want to give that up! It's a good way to start the weekend!

Dad running Lost Generation didn't last long - he's already sold it. I'm pretty excited about that because it means I can actually hang out there now. Who wants to hang out at a club their dad owns?
Rose Draper has graduated university and is back at home in Exeter. While her girlfriend Joanna is off travelling the world, Rose will be sharing a house with her ex-boyfriend Luc and his new room-mate Evan and is working as a clerk in a convenience store. She's hoping to move into a position in journalism sooner rather than later.
Elspeth is 2 years old now and Araminta has baby fever again. She's 53 and deep down, she knows it's not a realistic dream but she just can't seem to shake it.
I know we've both been spending plenty of money on phone calls over the past few months but I promised photos and I won't have access to a computer until I get back. So snail mail it is!
Five or six months after they started dating, Lia and Gordon finally had the talk she'd been dreading. He'd been asking and asking and Lia finally had to tell him she wouldn't be having sex until after she was married.

Since Dad died, Mum and I have been surviving on my paycheck alone. My job doesn't pay that well but Mum hasn't been able to face going into work.
It's Edward Lachance's first birthday and he's already demanding his mother's attention constantly!
It's the first day back at Sullivan Primary School and unfortunately, it's raining. Let's hope the rain holds out or the teachers will be cooped up inside the school at lunch time with some very insane children.
Owen and Naomi have been married for 6 years, both their kids are at school and they both feel pretty certain their family is complete. At this point, they both feel like another baby would be more than they could handle.

You'd think my grandparents were the newlyweds around here! I can't believe I witnessed my grandfather grabbing my grandmother's butt. 
Christopher Draper is 1! No toddler pics of Mum or Dad because they joined Sullivan as adults but I can tell you that he has Kendal's nose (as I was hoping for) and I'm pretty certain he has Lake's eyes and mouth. So like his Dad, I'm expecting him to look vaguely like a woman from certain angles when he gets older. ;) Gosh, I already love him though - such a sweet face!

Things in our house have been pretty hectic, as usual but Lake and I have been enjoying raising our new baby son, Christopher.
