Maybe if Joanna had actually got into a slap fight with Tamara! Or if they lost all their money, say in a chance card. They're paying $10,000 in fees for this and that needs to be paid up front. <br /><br />But it seems so sad to let them get all excited and then say no! I don't know why because my Sims have had sadder things happen to them.<br /><br />Joanna's been in a very good mood around Sullivan of late, so I think she <i>must</i> be excited!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-75976686215464706332010-07-14T14:18:13.179+10:002010-07-14T14:18:13.179+10:00LOL, they've got the playground all set up alr...LOL, they've got the playground all set up already! They are prepared! :)<br /><br />I've certainly done my share of nerdy research for LH too, so no judgments here! So, just curious, but could there have been any conditions or situations that would have led to their being disapproved?<br /><br />Rose and Joanna are just adorable with their excitement. The nursery and the house looks amazing, and they're both going to be great parents!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04990333808465359314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-49355779242096511532010-07-11T14:34:09.913+10:002010-07-11T14:34:09.913+10:00Danielle, ah, yes, Joanna and Sylvia can definitel...<b>Danielle</b>, ah, yes, Joanna and Sylvia can definitely offer Sylvia much more than Adrienne could right now. She'd likely lead a very different life, if Adrienne had made another decision.<br /><br />It's possibly Joanna and Rose will adopt again but I may also want to try out the sperm donation I was talking about a little while ago. We'll see.<br /><br />It's never too early to ask about my plans though (unless I'm keeping them secret for whatever reason ;)). There are a couple of little kids around who I have plans for when they get older, though the plans are very vague and subject to change at this point, obviously! I do think ahead a lot, even if things don't always turn out the way I thought they would! If they did, Finn and Victoria would have broken up at about 15 or 16 and Finn would have ended up with Patience and Victoria with Jacob. But it didn't turn out that way at all. ;)Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-75861038625439664072010-07-11T13:02:08.220+10:002010-07-11T13:02:08.220+10:00I'm glad everything went well with the home st...I'm glad everything went well with the home study and Joanna was able to keep her cool with Tamara lol. I love the look of the house and the nursery looks great! I love the colors, too. I agree that Sylvia probably will be spoiled, which will be good for her knowing what situation she COULD have been in.<br /><br />So do you think you'll go through the process of having them adopt another child when the time comes or is that too far away?

She reins her in before she goes too overboard. Joanna's good for helping Rose keep her feet on the ground, so it goes both ways.<br /><br /><b>Sari</b>, thanks. It's not too involved - just a bit of Googling and some Wikipedia. It's amazing what you can find out these days!<br /><br />Ha, Joanna knows when it's best to behave and if she wants to, she can control herself. She often doesn't want to but she knew there was more riding on this than just her desire to tell Tamara off, so she wisely kept her trap shut for once!<br /><br />And thanks!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-64392167216901756272010-07-10T16:33:23.430+10:002010-07-10T16:33:23.430+10:00I'm impressed by the amount of research you do...I'm impressed by the amount of research you do for Sullivan.

They got together when they were 15 and have been together ever since, so it's 16 years for them now. <br /><br /><b>Tessa</b>, it's only recently that I pay much attention to decorating but I really enjoy it now. If you look at some earlier entries, there's a lot boringness but it started to make <i>me</i> bored!<br /><br />Joanna is just a curmudgeon. She likes the people she chooses to associate herself with and would be very happy if she never had to talk to anyone else again. She's kind of like an exaggerated version of me, in that way!<br /><br />But she and Rose are both definitely ready for this baby. They'll be good parents.<br /><br /><b>Maisie</b>, ah, actually, that tweet was referring to Cordy's update. I was researching strokes because I was pretty sure you could go into a coma from a stroke but I wanted to be positive and I looked up a few little other tidbits while I was at it! But I did yet more research on adoption while I was writing this too.<br /><br />Rose and Joanna really went all out for this kid, didn't they? I think Sylvia might end up being a little spoiled!<br /><br /><b>Christina</b>, heh, I wouldn't mind sleeping there myself! Most of my Sims' houses are decorated nicer than anything I ever come across in real life!<br /><br />It feels like so long until we'll next see Rose and Joanna. After the Summer 2027 birthdays, when they'll meet Sylvia for the first time, I think I have them scheduled for Spring 2028! I'll have to have them pop in to see Lake and Kendal and Adam and Athena, so everyone can meet Sylvia.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-87444311895141142662010-07-09T12:23:18.184+10:002010-07-09T12:23:18.184+10:00That nursery is so pretty and cozy-looking!
