I'm loving this challenge! Alexa really turned out beautiful. It's going to be a lot of fun to see how the genes show up through the generations with townies from different towns.

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

Baby Chanel Crosby has arrived. She was born with the Loner and Genius traits. Her Lifetime Wish was rolled to be a Professional Author.



Odin playing with Chanel. For someone who dislikes children he sure plays with the little ones a lot.



I've just given him a family oriented mid life crisis LTR, since he plays with the babies so much.

Here she is in all her cuteness: Miss Chanel Crosby:



And, just look at that red hair! That comes from the Newbie side of the family. You can't really tell by looking at Edmund because his hair is so short, but his is the same color. Here's a picture of the two of them together.



Here's a picture of Chanel with Mommy.



What is it about this family? There's another spontaneous fire in a townie house down the street. Again, it was put out by the fire department. It was about 5:00 in the morning.



Chanel has aged up to a child. And quite a pretty one at that. I do love that red hair!



I'm letting everyone keep the hairdos that they are given because I think it's part of their personality. Unless, of course, I totally hate it  LOL No spike hair styles for my sims ;) Chanel gained the Bookworm trait to go with her Genius and Loner traits.

Odin adopted a puppy named Maya. Isn't she precious?



Chanel asked to go over to Owen Fox's house after school. I let her so she could find out his traits. He is inappropriate, excitable and a virtuoso.



Here she is chatting with Gabriel Marshall. She didn't get much information about him.



Maya has her adult birthday...already



The Crosby family enjoying the deck.



Chanel does her homework on the MultiTab. And since she's a genius and a bookworm, she gets it done super quick.



Grandma Heather reads a bedtime story to Chanel her last night before becoming a teen.



Next: Chanel in her teen years.

Thank you loveSims!

Grim came for Heather at age 90. RIP, Heather Crosby. You helped your family on its way to greatness.



Heather only got a medium sized tombstone for all her hard work.



Alexa and Edmund have both aged up to adults. It looks like neither one of them got the mid-life crisis. Yay!

Chanel had her teen birthday. Here she is as a teen. Isn't she pretty?



If you can't see, her eyes are a very dark blue like mother and grandmother with dad's red hair. She got the Natural Cook trait like her grandfather. After all, someone needs to learn how to cook in order to feed the family!

Grandpa Odin taught Chanel how to drive. I was so afraid that he would die off-lot but he did fine.

Chanel needs to get going on finding a boyfriend. She has a few choices. Gabriel Marshall: good, friendly, insane, ?; Coy Parrott: brave, excitable, good, mooch; and Owen Fox: inappropriate, excitable, virtuoso, kleptomaniac. They all have girlfriends so she will have to break someone up. It took some work but she got Coy Parrott to break up with Lea Pelly. He was easiest to talk to because he lives right across the street. So, she's set with that relationship. She does have an enemy now though. But...she has her boyfriend!



Now, to just get through the teen years for the next move.

Heather decided to sit in the hot tub for a while.



Chanel has been working on her novel. I bought her a new laptop to keep in her inventory so she wouldn't have to fight everyone for the computer.

This is Alexa after trying to repair the dishwasher at handiness level 7.



I had her call the repairman after this so I wouldn't lose her. I thought sims were pretty safe after level 5 if they have the handiness trait. Shows how much I know!

Well, I guess being an adult doesn't stop the pranks. Alexa booby trapped the computer. It's a good thing Chanel has been so good, because I still have to keep a wary eye on Alexa.



Maya, sleeping with Odin...maybe she senses something.



Odin went with Grim at 100 days. He got a tall tombstone for his heroic efforts for the family. RIP Odin Crosby.



Alexa has achieved her lifetime wish to Become a Creature-Robot Breeder. Way to go, Alexa! And she still has 11 days until she's an elder.

Edmund is still only at level 7 of his career. I think it's because his team hasn't won any games. His mood is always high and he has maxed athletics so I don't know what the problem is. Okay...never mind. I forgot Edmund's lifetime wish was Swimming in Cash. As soon as Alexa spent her LTHR on inheritance, his wish was achieved. Yippee! Five days to go until Chanel ages up and can get married.

Finally, Chanel is a young adult. What a good girl! She didn't have even one mood swing the entire time! Now, it's time for the private wedding.





And then...we're off to Bridgeport.

The Crosby family has reached Bridgeport and moved into a house built by a new builder named...judewright.

Front of house:



First floor:



Second floor:



Basement:



And what a view!



So, we now have our heir and her husband:

Chanel Crosby: Loner, Genius, Bookworm, Natural Cook and Neat. She wants to be a Professional Author.



Coy Parrott Crosby. (What kind of name is Coy?) His lifetime wish is to be a Rock Star. His traits are Brave, Virtuoso, Good, Excitable and Mooch. I'm letting him keep his hairstyle. He will be a rock star, after all.



Next...Life in Bridgeport

Bridgeport can be fun, but with large families it lags on my game.

Good, it might have been because I had a Family with six kids plus mom and dad. I don't have Riverview, though.

When we left off last time, the Crosby family had just moved to Bridgeport. They spent most of their time getting set up in their jobs, meeting friends, and in Chanel's case writing her books. Oh, and Edmund and Chanel got started on the next generation of Crosbys.

Edmund maxed his athletic skill back in Appaloosa Plains and just look at those muscles!



Here's Chanel writing one of her books.



We have our first little boy, Adrian Crosby. I was beginning to think we were going to have all girls! His roll for lifetime wish was to Become an Astronaut. Unfortunately, I think I saved Adrian's toddler picture over his infant picture :(  His traits at birth are brave and athletic.

I hope Alexa has better luck fixing this dishwasher.



Yes! I guess Level 9 Handiness makes a big difference. I don't mind saying I was worried.

What happens when you shower together? Another nooboo!



Here's little Adrian on his first birthday. Yay for the red hair!



Nooboo number 2 for Bridgeport. Her name is Gwyneth. Since I haven't decided which child will be the heir, her lifetime wish is also rolled...for One Sim Band. She is Artistic and Virtuoso.



It seems the gentlemen are always the first to run to see to the babies' needs. And they trip all over themselves to get there.



Grandma Alexa started teaching Adrian to walk...all on her own.



Here's our little girl aged up to toddler. Black hair and it looks like she has those dark blue eyes.



And just because they're so cute...Toddler Time:



Edmund just had his elder birthday. It took me by surprise. It doesn't seem that long since he and Alexa were teens. I'm gonna miss those muscles!



Now it's Alexa's turn for elderhood. It's quite sad to me. She was the first infant in the Crosby family.



And, Adrian aged up to child. I can't tell if he's got his dad's big nose because all children seem to have big noses to me. I do see the dark blue in those eyes. He is brave, athletic and ambitious.



What is going on? This strange woman just went upstairs to the nursery, got Gwyneth and put her in a stroller and started walking away with her.



She only took her to the backyard and set her down.



Sheesh! Scared me!

On that note, we'll stop here until next time for more adventures in Bridgeport.

That is really weird! I love it when sims do crazy things you can't explain. Good thing she didn't take her away too far though!

No, I have no idea who that woman was. I didn't get a chance to get her name because I was trying to dismiss her in case she was a babysitter. She wasn't. It sure woke me up though!

On another note: I'm not sure when I will be able to post again. Tomorrow, I'm having my third biopsy in as many months for skin cancer. It's right where my glasses land so I might not be able to see for awhile. But...I WILL be back with the Crosby's story.
