"You knew that this day was coming, Amanda.You knew that he would have to leave," Totia said.

"I know, I know. But why did it have to come so fast?! Two years is an extraordinary amount of time for a 12 year old to be away from home," Amanda said.

"But Connor is no average 12 year old Amanda. He's 18 years old by Peragamian standards.........."

Liam Coners was very excited about starting school. Turning four meant that he could go out and play with other kids and learn some things. It also meant that he could get away from his little sister! He didn't understand why his mom seemed so sad about him going to school at all.......

Happy Birthday to Ya!

Round 9 - December 2043

So I completely forgot about this cutie's bday! Such a horrible simgod smh

Anastasia Gray is now a cute and very busy one year old. Parents Amanda and Corbin are very glad she's more mobile, but they forgot about how much energy it requires to keep up with a toddler! Thank goodness this is their last go round! Anastasia is a very playful(6) and active(7) child and is also very tidy(8) for a toddler. Like her mother she is pretty shy(3) and can be a bit grouchy(4) at times. Her big brothers are just glad that they can play with her more now!

* So somehow I forgot to do her birthday, glad I didn't get too far ahead of myself lol. Anastasia is definitely shy like Amanda, but she isn't very nice. Should be a pretty interesting combination to say the least lol.

Alex didn't get what the big deal was about Anastasia. Everyone thought that she was so cute, but all she did was sleep, eat, and slobber all over the place. Grown ups were weird...........

Happy Birthday to Ya!

Round 9 - December 2042

Corbin still couldn't believe that they were about to be parents again! He never thought he would be changing diapers at 46 years old, but he was excited to meet the newest little Gray. Amanda wasn't as enthusiastic at the moment as Corbin was. She just wanted this kid out!

Happy Birthday to Ya!

Round 9 - September 2042

Only one birthday this time!

Payton Newson is one-year-old this fall and she is the apple of Gavin and Gretchen's eye. Payton is a very nice (7), active (10), and playful (10) little girl who is very shy (4) and a bit messy (3). She is surrounded by her aunts and uncles all the time and is never bored. But then, there is rarely a dull moment in the Newson house!

Conner managed to continually surprise Amanda. She knew that he would be more advanced than the average child. He was of course NOT the average child. But his abilities and mental capacities were astounding. He had mastered the violin and was only 9 years old! She didn't know what they were going to do with him.........

Things were going better for Connor. He didn't feel so weird anymore. And his talks with Ms. Celeste were really helping. But he still didn't understand one thing: why the heck was he green?!

You give me peace

When the storm's outside, cuz we're in love I know it'll be alright

Alright it's alright

Connor loved that his little brother Alex was now going to school with him. The only thing he didn't really like is that the other kids didn't believe him when he said that Alex was his brother. Connor knew it was because he was green and Alex looked more like his mom and dad.........

Happy Birthday to Ya!

Round 6 -Fall 2037

Lots of Birthdays this time!

When the labor pains started to hit Lorelai, Jacob thought he would lose his mind! Elven births are not quite the same as human births, so Lorelai opted for a home birth. Jake didn't think he could take it........

Happy Birthday to Ya!

Round 6 - Fall 2036

Lots of birthdays this time!

Mindi Mason, Kayla Knowles, and Tippy Dean are all 22 this fall and are now residing in Camden Park. Mindi isn't exactly sure what she wants to do and is just delivering pizzas right now. It's a crappy job but it pays the bills! Kayla Knowles is working at LaQuest Beach Preparatory School as an art teacher and is still working on her art collection. She plans to open a gallery with her trust fund once she turns 25. Tippy Dean hopes to work in the entertainment industry but is settling for paying the bills with a few modeling gigs until she gets her big break.

Connor had become the best of friends with his younger brother Alex. Amanda had been worried that it would be a little weird for Connor since Alex looked more like her and Corbin. But it didn't seem to bother him and he was perfectly content with their little family.

Happy Birthday to Ya!

Round 5 - Fall 2034

 Taesha Foster is 18 and is a freshman at LaQuest Beach University. She has decided to major in mathematics and wants to maybe design video games one day. Or maybe teach, she hasn't decided yet.

 Little Ricki Knowles is 1 this fall and looks like she might take after Kevin more than Kinsley. It's hard to tell at this point....

 And Alex Gray is looking quite a bit like his dad Corbin. He is also 1 this fall. Hopefully he and big brother Conner will get along well :)

* I think Ricki is going to look like Kevin and Ryan looks like Kinsley. I hate those dark rings around her eyes, but that happens sometimes.

* I think Alex is going to look alot like Corbin. I don't really see much of Amanda in him. Maybe she will show more in him when he gets older. I wish I had pics of them when they were kids......I may do that in body shop just for comparison purposes.....

Happy Birthday to Ya!

Round 4 - Winter 2033

 Alana had forgotten just how horrible it felt in the last few weeks of being pregnant.....it had been 8 years since she was pregnant......but she couldn't wait to see her baby! Christian had made it very apparent that he wanted a little boy, but Alana didn't care as long as the baby was healthy.....

Happy Birthday to Ya!

Round 4 - Fall  2033

 Amanda Gray was tired of being pregnant! It wasn't the great experience she thought it was going to be. She was moody and hot and tired all the time. And having a baby already in the house just was NOT helping the situation! An alien baby at that!

Round 4 - Winter 2032

Amanda and Corbin Gray are 36, Conner is 3 months, (Starema Orionious is 158, Celeste Sky is 23)

 Amanda had fallen in love with little Conner Gray. It didn't matter that he was green or that his eyes were a bit unsettling sometimes. He had somehow stolen her heart. And she didn't see any reason to be mad at him. It wasn't his fault that Celeste Sky was a lying bitch who had used her and her husband to save her damn race without even asking her. It wasn't Conner's fault......

Happy Birthday To Ya!

Round 4 - Winter 2032

Her husband was pregnant.......pregnant! Amanda knew that Celeste had something to do with Corbin getting abducted........she just knew it! And she planned to get answers......because how in the world were they suppose to explain having a baby when Amanda hadn't even been pregnant?

Amanda Carlson is 35, Corbin Gray is 35, (Celeste Sky is 22)

She has always read her nerdy science books alone. Always. It was what happened to shy people. They faded away into the books they usually had their noses buried in. It was a very lonely life.........but it wasn't lonely for Amanda anymore.........
