Generation 1 (Part 3)

When we last left off…

Cheri turned into a boy crazy teenager, Max aged into a kid who loves to paint, Chris caught way too many fish, and Liz got very dramatic when playing her guitar.

lizblackdress

Liz’s quartet is spotted and she is promoted to a full-fledged orchestra member! She dons a black dress for her uniform.

cheriworry1

Not gonna lie… this worries me. And yes, she is talking to herself. =/

extremebubblebath

Chris takes extreme bubble baths because he’s a daredevil. No big deal.

michelcherikiss

Oh my God! Oh my God! I turn my back for ONE SECOND and Cheri starts macking on Michel! Well… if she wants him… I guess she can have him. But Michel strays so beware Cheri!

lizcellshower

Liz’s phone rings in the shower. I hope she doesn’t electrocute herself. Just sayin’…

maxfuzzypainting

One of Max’s paintings. I think it’s the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen.

chrislobstersad

With both kids at school, the house is often quiet. Christopher spends most of his days fishing out on the coast, further inviting the emptiness of the household. The relationship between Christopher and Liz gains some tension.

lizthinkuhoh

Liz stays up late thinking.
How can I repair this relationship, now that we are running our own completely separate lives?

cheriageyoungadult

The following day is one for celebration. It is both Cheri and Max’s birthday. Cheri went first, aging gracefully into a young adult! Her last trait rolled is schmoozer. =) Cheri immediately moves out upon aging with the dream of starting her own life.

maxageteenager

Next is Max’s turn. The reserved child grew into a teenager. He rolls insane as his fourth trait. Oh dear…

chrisannoyediwthliz

Chris cheers on both of his children with enthusiasm. But after the parties, his annoyance is clear. He is angry that Liz wouldn’t take one day off of work to celebrate the aging of her children.

chrisconfrontsliz

Chris waits for Liz to return home, where he immediately confronts her on her lack of priorities. Liz is angry. Very, very angry.

chrissleepcouch

Chris sleeps on the couch that night.

maxinsanebed

Max wears his formal clothes to bed. I guess that qualifies him as insane.

chrisapologizesliz

The day after their fight, Chris apologizes to Liz. At first she doesn’t have it, but with a little coaxing (and Chris promising to spend less time fishing), she forgives him.

maxcheriinsane

Max invites Cheri over for a chat. Turns out Cheri is now rich! Go f igure! Of course, the minute Cheri enters the house Max starts ’speaking madness’ to her. Cheri’s like, wtf is wrong with you? It’s going to be an interesting second generation…

lizcompleteltw

maxandmeaganfirst

Max, the boy who has no friends and doesn’t relate to many people, is falling for a girl. Falling hard. Her name is Meagan Boyd, and she actually likes him back! Apparently, being with an insane person doesn’t scare her. Cool! But there is one problem: she hates kids. =/

lizageelder

Liz ages into an elder with all of the friends she’s kept throughout her life (except that random guy in the back that just showed up…)! Cheri came as well, of course, pregnant with Michel’s second child. =)

chrisageelder

Two days later is another double birthday; Chris and Max. Chris ages into an elder, likin’ the robe Chris.

maxageyoungadult

… and then Max ages to young adult! Not bad, Max. He rolls hydrophobic as his last trait. His LTW is ‘illustrious author’ (or maxing the writing and painting skills).

Now that Max is a young adult, the second generation has officially begun: CONTINUED ON GENERATION 2 (PART 1)
