Round 27: Summer 2026
last update/next update

Mina Lachance is 76, Abigail Carmody is 43, Jesse is 41, Mitchell is 7 and Austin and Lauren are both 5.
(Nick is 23)

Narrated by Abigail Carmody

For the last several months, I've been feeling really on edge. I've been so nervous about Nick and this whole paternity test thing with Adrienne. A few days after the baby was born, Nick received the results and found that he'd been excluded as the father. These tests are supposed to be completely accurate and I couldn't be more relieved.

The good life

Round 26: Autumn 2024
last update/next update

Mina Lachance is 74, Abigail Carmody is 41, Jesse is 39, Mitchell is 5 and Austin and Lauren are both 3.
(Jonas is 46, Maia is 22, Nick is 21)

Narrated by Abigail Carmody

I never pictured myself having four kids but lately, I've been thinking I might even want a fifth! That probably sounds crazy, when I've already got a 21 year-old, plus a 5 year-old and 3 year-old twins.

With a bullet

Round 25: Summer 2022
last update/next update

Mina Lachance is 72, Abigail Carmody is 39, Jesse is 37, Mitchell is 3 and Austin and Lauren are 6 months old.
(Nick is 19, Maia is 20, Caleb is 40, Jonas is 44, Dominic is 12, Audrey is 10 and Edward is 7)

Narrated by Jesse Carmody

As much as Abigail and I love our kids, I think having three under three has put us off the idea of any more, at least for a little while. It took us so long to conceive Mitchell so we weren't expecting her to get pregnant so quickly the second time around. Then we found out we were having twins, we were really taken by surprise.

You say it's your birthday, Winter 2021

The twins aren't even here yet but from looking at Ione, it's pretty clear that there's not long to go. Evan is already feeling nervous.

You say it's your birthday, Autumn 2021

Twin watch, 2021! The time is drawing near for Evan and Ione Moretti - just a few months to go now! Thank goodness they've been able to find a house with enough bedrooms with what little money they have - no one will be sleeping in a hallway, at the very least! They're living right across the road from Evan's older brother Caleb and his family. Caleb and Cara have plenty of experience with twins themselves, so maybe they can offer Evan and Ione some pointers!

Custom concern

Round 24: Spring 2020
Narrated by Mina Lachance

When I heard about Maria's death, I decided to invite my brother Emil around, together with some other family members. Maria and I never really recovered our relationship after Abigail's graduation party and my relationship with Emil suffered as a result.

Mis-shapes

Round 23: Autumn 2018
Narrated by Nick Moretti

Grandma is taking Grandpa's death really hard. They were married for 44 years but Mum kind of pre-warned me that Grandma might want to start dating again really soon. Which really grossed me out but I prepared myself.

Narrated by Nick Moretti

You'd think my grandparents were the newlyweds around here! I can't believe I witnessed my grandfather grabbing my grandmother's butt.

Like a rolling stone

Round 20: Winter 2012

Pascal Lachance is 70, Mina is 62, Abigail is 29 and Nicholas Moretti is 9.
(Jesse is 27)

Narrated by Abigail Lachance

Lately at night, I go out after everyone's asleep and look at the stars with Dad's telescope instead. I don't understand everything I'm seeing like he does, but it has some sort of calming effect on me anyway. It's either this or lay in bed wide awake, worrying about Caleb and Jesse. I'm not in love with Caleb any more but there's something there, I know. Maybe it's guilt, maybe it's because we have Nicky or maybe I just miss him. Jesse's getting impatient with me, I can tell. I need to figure all this out before we get serious.

Summer 2011-12 birthdays

This summer, two Sullivan Sims are heading into their twilight years.

The first is Mina Lachance, who is still keen on retirement but is thinking that Rock God status might be more important to her than she initially thought.

Timebomb

Round 19: Autumn 2010

Pascal Lachance is 68, Mina is 60, Caleb Moretti is 28, Abigail is 27 and Nicholas is 7.
(Jonas is 32, Tatiana is 27, Jesse Carmody is 25, Evan is 21 and Dominic is 3 months old)


Narrated by Abigail Lachance

Things have been a little awkward here lately, ever since I met Jesse. Or at least it feels that way to me. I don't know if Caleb actually suspects anything. I want to tell him about Jesse but not until I figure out what I'm going to do.

Baby goes to eleven

Round 18: University
(Tatiana, David, Kirstin, Abigail, Caleb)


David, Kirstin and Abigail have just started their junior year and are still living at Moretti Hall. Tatiana is somewhat bored and lonely, being separated from Jonas once again.

David and Tatiana are both working hard to graduate. There are more term papers and assignments and a lot more preparation to do before them.

Dark ages

Round 18: Days 86-90

Narrated by Max Nihill

Sigh. I'm getting really sick of working and going to school. I'm hoping college will actually be some sort of break from this drudgery. It's actually the only reason I'm still working - there's a scholarship for kids who do well in their after-school jobs.

This one's mine

Narrated by Abigail Lachance

I was planning to take Nicholas to college with me and live alone but Caleb, even though he's not enrolling, decided to come with me and get a job to help out. So this is how our mornings go right now. I get up and tend to the baby.

Sleeping where I want

Round 17: Days 81-85

Narrated by Abigail Lachance

So the homework has been piling up and I really can't be bothered to do it. At breakfast the other day, I told Dad I was thinking about forgetting college and just going right out and getting a job.
