The Viejo Family

 

Here we are in Riverblossom Hills at the Viejo household- the 4th time this round!

A quick recap- Betty Goldstein died happily of old age, Jacob left for college. Andrew and Catherine Viejo fell in love and were happily married (he took her last name) until she too died of old age. Not long after that Andrew met and instantly loved Denene and they got married. She is expecting the next generation of Viejo any day now.

Andrew is at the top of the Gamer career. His lifetime want is to earn 100K.

His fellow Fortune sim and 3 bolt wife Denene wants to be Chief of Staff- she is currently a Specialist and is enjoying some Eggplant juice in the hope for a useful skill. Well- they are all useful of course but her hope of it being one needed for promotion is slim at best. :D

Early on Tuesday morning Denene went into labour.

Little Justine made her way into the world. Andrew got straight on the phone for his daily chat to his son Jacob to break the happy news.

Justine's nursery is Jacob's old bedroom. 

The round of feed, change and sleep little began for Denene and she slept on the sofa outside the nursery any opportunity she had.

The second Winter began enveloping the Viejo household in heavy snow.

Denene had to go back to work and Nanny Lexie Andersen was hired- she is super neat and loves to clean, yay! 

Andrew finished his creativity skill to level 10 shortly after this shot.

He and Denene left for work. Denene brought Lisa Ramirez home and she stayed for dinner before leaving for the night.

Denene was promoted to Surgeon and helped Justine celebrate her toddler birthday.

With smart milk and a thinking cap Justine learned a nursery rhyme in no time before Denene had to swap places with Andrew so she could earn more skills for her next promotion.

Her career reward comes in very handy for mechanical skills.

Andrew is best friends with his daughter on Friday.

Denene got a promotion to Medical Researcher.

Andrew found an infestation of cockroaches in his front yard and quickly zapped them before they could spread.

He cried for some time afterwards.

Denene keeps wishing to see a shooting star and I nervously allowed it until the wish was fulfilled- but no longer. :D

On Saturday having the weekend off our couple went Downtown to buy some new winter clothes.

Having the urge for a baby (and new clothes) they woohooed in public- unsuccessfully on both the pregnancy and the subtlety. 

Walking to a different clothing store they tried again...

Baby chimes were heard and no Mrs Crumplebottom in sight. Or anyone else. :)

That night as Denene was holding Justine Andrew had sense that they were not alone... he was right as Betty's ghost had come through the wall. Luckily she didn't scare anyone.

Ah, Denene was taking Justine to her cake- Happy tween birthday. 

The bedroom had a bright makeover.

Justine got a new hairstyle which she found hilarious.

On Sunday Justine was the first to leap into the air at the sight of even more fresh snow.

She stayed outside building her snowman until her fingers and toes were quite blue.

One of her birthday gifts was a kiddie oven, the result wasn't quite what she'd hoped for.

Thankfully her dad had made pancakes which must have turned her mum's stomach!

Andrew had invited Jacob and his dorm mates over for the day.

Denene was outside when they arrived but ran quickly indoors to throw up.

Justine enjoyed a game of chess with her half brother.

Later everyone sat down to dinner, it was nice for Andrew, Denene and Justine to get to know Jacob's dorm friends William Parmeley, Melody Tinker and Sandy (Sandra) Roth. A lovely day was had by all.

Much later after she'd settled into bed, Denene awoke and spun into her Maternity pjs.

and later still Catherine Viejo's ghost came a' haunting... still missing her hot chocolate. :)

Summary-

A great round- it was nice that the next generation of Viejo is here to keep the house going. 

Betty's ghost went upstairs a lot and walked through a lot of beds but she didn't disturb Andrew or Denene.

Catherine's ghost doesn't come inside, she just floats around her old garden dreaming of hot chocolate.
