Round 11: Terrano Family

Welcome back, last week this house was named the Cipriani-Terrano Family, but has changed to simply the Terrano Family this week as the only remaining Cipriani has moved out (as you will find out in the update). Durring the last update Stella Terrano moved in and married Toby Cipriani (he took her name and is now Toby Terrano). The couple had two children who grew to toddlers, Lola was a natural birth to Stella and Toby, and Toby had son Milo as a result of an alien abduction. Trey was your average romance sim dating plenty of sims and breaking hearts in the process.

The week starts with Trey Cipriani deciding to move out on his own.

He had purchased the home with his twin brother after college, but with their rapidly growing family, Trey thought it was time for him to start a life on his own.

He would be missed, but would be only a phone call away.
(**players note: Trey has been added to the end of the round in his own lot, and he will get his own update accordingly**)
Though with Trey's departure, you might remember that there was an addition. In the previous update (Aiden and Sharon Cipriani) Stella took the liberty to purchase a pomeranian named Minni. She is a bit of a terror...see for yourself...

She howls at the stero,

destorys the furniture,

terrorizes the mailman (and any other passerby),

and rolls in filthy trash! It has been a struggle not to send her packing to the pound, but I have not had the heart. We are working on this behavior issue and hoping to resolve it soon.
**************
With the house a little more empty (if not less quite due to Minni's destructive nature), the couple felt inspired to have just one more baby.

It didn't take long until #3 was on the way.

Next it is birthday time! The kids are not twins as Lola was a natural birth, and Milo an abduction, but they happen to have been born on the exact same day...kind of a pseudo set of twins!

Toby was hard at work trying to reach the top of the science career track.

He enjoyed hanging out with his son Milo and checking out the stars. He hadn't explained his sons origins to him, but planned to soon. Stella was his mother, if not by birth, then by love and so much more...that was all that mattered.

He was also interested in the wolf that continually visited the house. Meanalous was a pack leader, that much Toby could tell, but he did not fear him...instead he hoped to learn more about this mysterious creature.

Little Lola kept to herself for the most part. She was close with her family, but was encouraged to be shy and cautious from her mother.

Speaking of Stella...she was ready to have the baby.

Welcome Talia Terrano!

The family led a pretty average life this week, hanging together and working on skills...before long little Talia was ready to become a toddler.

Great update and so nice to see Stella out of the Uni bin..lol.
Her kids are cute, but I think Talia is the cutest- love it when they get the smaller black eyes.
You have your hands full with the kids and Minni the terror dog- lol. Is Toby getting a bit too friendly with the LofP? ;)

I agree ... Talia is the most adorable alien toddler I've ever seen! Huh! Might have to remember that Stella Terrano ..

Great updates, as usual

Awww, Talia is adorable! All of them are, really. Stella has really good genes, such a pretty sim!

That's quite a little terror you have, but little dogs do tend to make up for their size with attitude. ;)

LOL - that bad little dog is hilarious! But she's still cute so you just have to love her! Maybe she'll improve with training!
The kids aged up well. Lola's cute, and I still think Milo's not that bad. My husband's simself had quads and man were they the ugliest! Half had no chins! (Of course I laughed and told him that they looked just like him, lol)
The LoTP's name is Meanalous? LOL
Talia is a sweetie! How lucky are you to have 3 alien-coloured babies!
Whew! Sorry for such a long comment!
