May 2014: Birthday's and Graduations

Loren has entered her 2nd trimester and is feeling a lot better about her future now that things with Brandon are on their way back to  where they were.

Ivy is finding things getting a lot harder to do now she is in her 3rd trimester.  She is having a lot more back ache and sitting on the floor playing with Chloe doesn't help.

Liam Lind is now 1 year old.

There are four graduates form Chantilly Academy this year all will be attending Sim State University in the fall.  Penny McArthur will be entering the Dance program.  Gabriella Gorey will be entering the Fashion Design program.  Stewart Newson and Colin Pitts will be taking Political Science.

Brandon Becker had taken a small one bedroom apartment in the same building that Loren lives in so he can help out with anything she needs during the pregnancy and when the baby is born.

Diana Lind had been looking forward to moving to downtown Chantilly but a job came up at a new restaurant The Crab Shack in Chantilly Beach.  While at her job interview Diana found a small one bedroom  house that she was able to buy with a little help from her parents.

Madison Mather and Anthony Upsnott have moved back to Chantilly and have an apartment much to Anthony's parents dismay (they were hoping the couple would be moving into the family home).

Tamara has graduated with an art degree and is now working at the public school in downtown Chantilly as the art teacher.  Jacob has one more year at Sim State so they have a one bedroom apartment near the University campus.

Spring 2012: Newson

Spring 2012: Kyle and Ginger Newson are 56 and Stewart Newson is 16.



Kyle: With Tamara off at University I have converted her old bedroom to a workshop. I haven't repainted yet but getting my toys made is more of a priority.



Becker Toy's is getting really busy these days. I need to hire someone to take over the cash so I can spend more time with the customers.



I do have to admit that I spend some time playing darts with the boys when they come in. That is becoming a more regular event.



I'm still working on figuring out some clients moods. There is always one customer that you just can't please.



I try to get home for dinner most nights, Ginger is often inviting student teachers from the University over. She sees herself as a mentor to these young kids.



Most nights however I'm eating re-heated leftovers by myself.



Stewart is a very studious boy. He will always get his homework done on time. Probably because his mother is his teacher.



When he isn't doing homework he's working on his artwork. I don't see any of the girls that he used to hang out with anymore, when I brought it up he just went back to painting. I guess something happened and he doesn't want to talk about it.
