Nova: New Skill's

Andrew: With Bailey at school, Kerry at the shop and me at work my parents seem to have a great time at the house. Mum loves to sing nursery rhymes with Miriam and Dad has become pack leader to Darwin.

It was soon time for Miriam's birthday, it wasn't a large party but we did have a few friends over.

Miriam had a great time at her party.

A great time was had by all. (why is it that my sims seem to be in compromising positions when the party finishes?!!)

Bailey and Miriam where soon best of friends.

The love to play video games together. A little healthy competition won't do them any harm.

The girls where exhausted after Miriam's party and playing all evening.

Miriam couldn't wait to get on the bus for her first day at school. She ran for the bus the moment she saw it pull up.

When the girls got home from school Miriam immediately asked for help with her homework. She didn't want to disappoint her teachers.

It wasn't long till Miriam found the bookcase and pinpointed all the books she wanted to read.

Bailey on the other had wasn't so enthusiastic about doing her homework. It took may tries to get her to sit down and do it.

Some things don't change when you grow up. Bailey has always loved playing in the sand and making sand castles. Now that she's a teen that hasn't changed.

I never realized you could develop creative skills from making sand castles.

Bailey has been spending a lot of time with her friend Tammy Holland.

Tammy and Bailey went out to the shops to get Bailey a new outfit.

Tammy had also given Bailey a new hairstyle.

These two might be teenagers but they still get into games like little kids.

They are however still teens and spending all their time at home just isn't going to happen. They went to the local teen hangout Chantilly Recreation Center with a bunch of their friends. The Becker kids where part of that group. (Edward, Loren and Addison)

The most recent birthday was our little puppy, Darwin is now a big dog and doesn't really have any of the same colouring.

Since becoming an adult dog Darwin has made a new friend. Alabama is often wandering through our yard and the two dogs with play for a long time.

With everyone getting bigger and with many interests we decided to add a second story to the house. It's given us a lot more room for all our hobbies. The girls however have decided they want to share a bedroom still, it's just a fair bit bigger now.

I don't know what happened but one day after something my mother did or said Miriam went running to her room to cry (it happened again later and both girls went running to their room but I didn't' get a photo and I don't know what Ella did or said just that they where upset with her)

The next morning much out of character Miriam didn't want to go to school. Dad convinced her to go and he drove her in a little late.

Now that both the girls are at school Kerry has decided to follow her LTW of becoming a Space Pirate.

Miriam dropped everything when Kerry came home that day. She couldn't wait to give her Mum a big hug.

Kerry is still working on building her flower shop. It is currently a Level 3 business.

Bailey knew her sister had had a bad few days so she spent the next day after school playing with her till she made her squeal with laughter.

I thought it was just that Bailey was interested in gardening when she planted some tomatoes. I was wrong, she had heard from one of her friends that if your garden is really good the Gardening club will give you a wishing well.

It didn't seem to take much for Bailey to get her membership to the gardening club. She also received a fair amount of money. She did not however get her wishing well.

With all the time Bailey has spent with her friends and working on the garden she realized that her little sister was on her way to more scholarships to university than Bailey and she wasn't even a teenager yet. Bailey was determined tor rectify that situation.

Bailey wanted to try a new recipe she had learned for pork chops for Sunday dinner.

The pork chops where really good. I think my Mum was a little wary of them, she played video games till we had all tried a bit. Dad finished off the rest of them when he got home from work.
