Alright, so I've managed to play through another week - the baby's still playing hide-and-seek - so I have an update for you all!
Sciks: Week 38Well, this week is much more exciting than the last! Lihua and I finally get married. We've been trying to fly to China for the wedding so her family could be a part of it but so such luck. So we "settle" for inviting all her family members (all 3 of them) to Twinbrook for a visit and then throwing the wedding at Wunn's fishing park. It's been a while since we had a family get together there and Lihua really wants a nature wedding, similar to what we would have done in China.
Lihua wears a traditional Chinese gown in her favorite colour, Turquoise, and I wear my best suit. There, under the stars and a beautiful wedding arch, with bubbles and the sounds of pond life floating around us, with our family cheering us on, we get married!
You'll notice, in this picture of us cutting the cake, none of Lihua's family members actually make it to the wedding. In fact none of our guests do other than my immediate family! Even the paparrazzi show up too late to take pictures of the ceremony. Lihua is, understandably, a little broken up about it but the cake and dancing under the stars manage to keep her smiling all night.
When we all get home in the wee hours of the morning, we find a party guest of another sort that obviously got the location mixed up. Wunn takes care of the situation while the rest of us head for our beds.
A couple days later, Lihua receives some good news! Generation 7 is on her way!
When the family breaks the hot tub at the local pool they call me up wondering if I still want a few more appliances to fix. After about 5-6 rounds of this:
I finally give up and head back home to my inventing table. Somethings are just not meant to be!
One of the neighbourhood dogs, Ginger, decides to come on in and make herself at home at our house. She belongs to the Nowaks who live just up the street (Uncle Franklin's family) and I guess she wants to meet the extended family. Sami gets along famously with her and she stays for a couple days making friends. Sami isn't keen on sharing her bed though, so Ginger sleeps up on Tu's bed.
Friday morning breakfast is a hair-raising, dance around waving your arms above your head, panic filled moment induced by the only thing that makes all Sims - except the one that is the cause of it all - lose their mind!
Lihua's labour begins in the kitchen and, after seeing just how much help all of us will be, she takes herself back up to our room and labours in private.
Please welcome
Sevinn Sunburst! She marks the beginning of change in our household and is a delight adored by all.
I take it upon myself to call dibs for bedtime. There is just nothing more precious and amazing to me than tucking my little one into her bed every night and watching her fall asleep. Her favorite colour is purple just like Wunn, she shares her mother's love of Roots music, and will be stealing my favorite Fruit Parfait at meal times when she's a little older. Her traits start with Loves the Outdoors and Neurotic. Sleep soundly, my little one, life is just beginning.
Two questions remain: Will she have my purple eyes or take after her mother? What will she grow up to be?

I have 3 more pictures of our week that I would like to share:
1) This is my beautiful baby girl just hanging out on the floor in the living room like all the rest of us, enjoying the positive moodlets of incense, music, and Therie's fabulous fridge.
2) Therie fills her days playing with this stray cat that wanders into our yard one day in hopes of adopting it. After some research, she decides to send the cat back "home" in hopes that when it returns the adoption option will be available.
3) We have a new nooboo gnome: Nooboo Sechs (6). Anybody else see the Pets EP hint in this Generations EP item?

Next week: 2 birthdays, toddler cuteness, and maybe the cat comes back!
