(Anna Collins is 35, Nathan is 3 and Hope is 2)

Narrated by Betsy Carmody

Kimberly's really been bonding with our daughters lately and I won't lie - it was a big relief for me. She was so excited about having kids before we got married and then once it happened, it was like she wasn't really interested.

Round 20: Winter 2011

last update/next update

Joseph Carmody is 76, Vivienne is 71, Betsy and Kimberly are both 40, Sarah is 6 and Susannah is 1.
(Leontine Kirby is 69 and Ethan Novak is 5)

Narrated by Betsy Carmody

On the day our daughter Susannah was due to arrive, I took a vacation day from work so I was there to see Sarah off to school. No goodbye, mind you. I don't know if she's annoyed at getting a baby sister or annoyed that Kimberly and I didn't let her stay home to meet her too.

Joseph Carmody is 74, Vivienne is 69 and Betsy and Kimberly are both 38.

Narrated by Betsy Carmody

So Jesse finally got off his ass and decided to go out on his own. Well, he's not really on his own. Two of my former students, Evan and Amelia, decided to move out of their parents' place but didn't have enough money for the deposit on the apartment. That's where Jesse came in. And yeah, he really did get in the taxi in his pyjamas.

Narrated by Betsy Carmody

Just as I was about to leave for work, I came across a young guy standing in our front yard. Most people would move along quickly after being caught loitering in someone's front yard but he just waved at me, like he was supposed to be there.

Ugh! I just arrived home from college, sneaking in through the back door because I wanted to surprise Mum and instead, she and Dad surprised me! Ugh, ugh, ugh!

The other night, I took Tatiana to Dragonfly, the new Japanese restaurant in Exeter. I used the opportunity to strike up a conversation with some new people. Or I attempted to anyway. This guy completely ignored me.

Round 13: Days 61-65

last update/next update

Over at the Carmody place, Vivienne was making sure she was on her boss Nathalie's good side. She hoped to have her boss's job one day and she wanted to be first in line to replace her when Nathalie ever retired.

Hopefully, Anna (who was the spitting image of her older sister) would not be as demanding a toddler as Betsy was. If that was the case, sucking up to her boss might be the only way Vivienne could earn a promotion. There certainly wouldn't be much time for skilling.

Round 12: Days 56-60

last update/next update

Now that Betsy was a little older, she was able to appreciate Joseph's guitar skills almost as much as Vivienne. Sunday mornings in the Carmody house were often spent holding impromptu concerts in the living room.

Joseph had been a little concerned about approaching middle age recently and Vivienne had suggested a new hairstyle for him. His old style might have been okay when he was 18 but he was approaching 40 now. Joseph was rather horrified by his new cut - it looked like it would take some getting used to.

Vivienne and Joseph were living in a one bedroom townhouse when they learned they were expecting a child. They obviously had to move, so they bought a little house on Queen's Bay Road, right next door to Lukas and Raffaella Novak.

It was perfect for them and there was even space in the backyard for Joseph to start growing some tomatoes.

Vivienne has graduated from Suffolk University and has moved into her fiancé Joseph's townhouse in her hometown of Sullivan.

Round 8: College

(Georgette, Vivienne and Leontine)

last update/next update

Gah, this was such a jam-packed play session! I ended up taking 153 pics and had to weed down from there! So this one is long and it has some slight nudity. Nothing pornographic but it does contain Georgette's bum and possibly a bit of Leontine's nipple. So consider yourself warned!

Georgette, Vivienne and Leontine have headed off to Suffolk University without brother Pascal. Even without his help though, they are able to afford a fully furnished house on campus. It's not decorated quite in the style they want but they can fix that up over the next few years.
