"Lizzie!"
"Kathy!"
"You have the absolute worst maternity wear," Elizabeth laughed, affectionately rubbing my pregnant stomach.
"Don't be mean, I'm carrying the heir! You'll give it self-esteem issues!"
"Jacob, Rick, and Garlan are doing very well," she said. "Jacob's birthday was a few days ago--he's just the cutest toddler! You should drop by and see them."
"I'll try! The baby's due any day now, and I'm supposed to have loads of bed-rest." I sighed, then realized-- "Say, why don't we go to the festival? For old times' sake?"
Once we arrived at the festival, Elizabeth turned to me and said, "I wanted to congratulate you on achieving all of your requirements. You're the first heir to our DecaDynasty! I might be a bit jealous of you for staying the active household, but at the same time I'm just relieved that I wasn't born first!"
"Oh, come on, I couldn't have done it without you. We have this plan for getting all of the best friends, of course, but no one could do it as well as you." Again for old times' sake, I dropped her off at the old house in my limousine.
Lizzie immediately rushed outside with an absolutely adorable toddler in her arms: Jacob. (Just for you, Trip!)
I also got to see the twins, Rick and Garlan. (Note: Elizabeth and Edward are such good parents! They actually feed their kids!)
Edward in a kilt:
. Also, he told me I was going to have a girl! Two female heirs in a row!
Once I got home, I called Lizzie on the landline and we chatted for a while. I told her all about how sweet and helpful Bronson was . . .
. . . then hung up momentarily to make out with Bronson . . .
. . . on hold just a little longer while I received pretty flowers . . .
. . . and went into labor.
Bronson immediately started to freak out--but not about the fact that his baby was being born.
I wasn't very pleased about that one, especially since it meant he missed out on the moment of rainbow sparkles.
And a sweet little girl who looked just like him entered the world.
Welcome home, Angela Vanderburg!
Once Angela was up in the nursery with the swing turned on, Bronson and I sat down for dinner. We believe in family dinners, even if it's difficult with our very conflicting schedules, because after dinner comes . . .
. . . making more babies.
I decided to quit my job to spend time with the kids, but meanwhile I needed something to occupy my time! Therefore, I bought a horse: Daisy.
Riding is a bit difficult, but but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it soon enough.
As it is, I spend a lot of time waiting for the horse to stop
going in the front yard.
You may have noticed the clothes: that's right, I'm pregnant again! Say, didn't we just see this picture?
For Angela's birthday, we threw a little family party. Elizabeth and Edward came, of course, as did Edward's daughter with Eleanor Alto, Sonya. Hasn't she grown into a gorgeous young woman?
I helped Angela blow out the candles.
Ain't she just the bees knees? (I honestly don't know what that means, but Angela's so cute! Squeak!)
