Now that I’m older, I often go across the road to help Mum out at the market. I’ll probably get a “real” part-time job when I’m old enough but maybe this will give me some more experience when that time comes.
At the back of my mind, I thought Claudia might be bored at home once both girls were in school but she keeps herself more than busy. On a farm, there’s always something to do.
You guys would have seen this house in the Kirby update from the other day. I really like it though, so I thought I'd post the lot tour here. This was originally posted over a year ago at N99. This house is a makeover (an very extensive one) of Copper Ranch Retreat from Three Lakes.
I live alone now and even after so long, it still feels strange sometimes. It's the first time I've lived by myself. I've always been kind of a social animal, so it's been an adjustment for me.
As soon as Daphne was born, I was ready to have another kid. Claudia likes to tell people I brought it up on the way home from the hospital but that's not true. She was at least a few weeks old.
After Caitlin was born, I put on a little weight and once she started school, I put on a lot more. It finally got to the point where it was bothering me, so I decided to do something about it.
Naturally, when Jacob got married, he moved out of this place and in with Claudia and her parents. He was getting tired of the bachelor lifestyle and he likes being a family man now.
Claudia Kirby is quite relieved. Jacob's long hours working as a fire fighter had her worried that when she went into labour, he wouldn't be there. Luckily, Baby Kirby has conveniently decided to arrive on a Tuesday, which just happens to be Jacob's day off.
