With a growing family and a lack of space on the lot, the family was forced to expand upward. They added a third story with a couple of bedrooms and a bathroom. They also added a nice sized garden in the back which was Marriah's pride and joy.
*******************
The round starts with a surprise.
Elise is pregnant again thanks to risky woohoo...I had no idea that she had even gotten pregnant again when I left them last round, but we gotta roll with the punches!
Luckily the twins are about to become fairly self sufficient children as their birthday party was planned for later that evening.
Daryl pitched in and tried to get the kids fed and ready for their birthday when the unexpected happened.
Grimmy comes calling for my dear Daryl. I had not realized that his time was so near, so this was a bit of a shock. The family took it prety hard, but they still had a couple of birthdays to celebrates and they all knew that Daryl would have wanted them to carry on.
After putting him in a suitable resting place, the family had nothing to do but to go on with the birthdays.
Happy Birthday Genevieve!
Happy Birthday Gared!
The celebration was somber as the families thoughts were still on Daryl.
*************************
After the loss of her husband, Marriah struggled with depression.
So she poured herself into her gardening...
...and into her grandchildren. With another one on the way Marriah wanted to make sure she was there to help Elise and Rob as much as possible.
So she decided to retire from her day job.
And ensure that she would be around to see the birth of her next grandchild.
**********************
And it was almost time for the baby to make it's apperance. The whole house was a buzz with excitement for the arrival of the surprise baby.
Elise went into labor and had a little girl, but once she had her the pain started again. Having had Genevieve and Gared she knew what this meant.
And the family lovingly welcomed their new set of twin girls Anastacia and Isadora.
With Marriah's loving attention to the new babies and Genevieve and Gared in school full time, Elise finally found time to go to work.
She got a job in education and was excited to be working for the first time since college.
***********************
And we will close the update with a couple of birthdays...infants grow so fast!
Happy birthday Anastacia!
Happy Birthday Isadora!
Accomplishments this round: Daryl passes away at 75 days old, Genevieve and Gared are children, Elise has twins Anastacia and Isadora who then become toddlers, Elise takes a job in the education track, Marriah retires to help with the new babies

Aw, Daryl! You will be missed.. he was so handsome! *tear*
Okay I'm sorry.. but there's always one isn't there? I mean those kids are so adorable.. um, with the exception of Anastacia... she's not ugly but uh.. wow not exactly pretty either *snickering*
3 out of 4 isn't bad! At least she isn't Cabrera ugly LSHICB!
Jeez - I just read Ruby's comment and I'm dying from laughter. Although, I didn't think Anastacia was that bad!
Poor Marriah - losing Daryl - at least she got to see the new twins!
