Round 12: Hart Family

Last week in this house Betsy Jayapalan moved into her own home after college. Deciding she would open a flower shop on the first floor of her new place. It was a success, but Betsy was lonely. After reigniting and old college flame, Betsy married Matthew Hart. The couple expanded their home and were preparing for the arrival of their first child.

Neither rain nor shine nor pregnancy could stop Betsy. She could be found hard at work in her flower shop for the begining of this round.

Matthew begged her to take a couple of days off, to relax and get ready for the baby, but Betsy just laughed him off and told him not to worry.

As fate would have it when she went into labor, it happened in the middle of the store.

Betsy gave birth to not one baby, but two. Natural twin boys Dante and Randal were born.

And finally, Betsy agreed that she should take a little time off to spend with Matthew and the boys.

In the meantime, Matthew took over for Betsy. Tending to her garden, and running the shop.

All the while he still had to work his usual 9-5.

At the end of the first few days of his hectic routine, Matthew found a new appreciation for his wife and all that she did.

The boys kept Betsy and Matthew busy, but thinkingt that she had enough of staying home all the time, Betsy got a job outside of the house as an adventurer.

The timing worked out well with Matthew's job and they did nto require the help of a nanny. One parent or the other was able to be home with the boys at all times.

Though the next chance they had to spend time with the four of them together was not until it was time again for the boys to grow up.

The boys are quite handsome, which is to be expected considering who their parents are!
Too funny with the boot juicing! I'll have to try that some time *giggle*

Dante and Randall are so cute! Are they identical? They certain look very similar at the moment.
The boot juice was hilarious- I haven't tried it, but have lots of boots so I might now.. :D Thanks for sharing!

Cute boys! They almost look identical! I would like for them to have a baby girl, I bet she'd be adorable!

LOL! I haven't had my coffee yet this morning, and I misread your conclusion and thought you said she was a boot-a-holic!

Oh boy natural twins! They sure are cute. I'd say those two are workaholics. Oh goodness a Juiced Boot! Too funny!
