Scenes from the lives of the Silverrings

Trigger bonded with Felicia the day before she was to age up. He caught that butterfly just for her, and can't wait until the day they can both go hunting for bugs.


The party was HUGE. Trigger knows a lot of people, more than I expected! But the adults seemed to care very little about Felicia's aging up.
Trigger was the most excited (and only one celebrating).
Tada-- little Felicia as a toddler. I think she takes after her father the most. It'll be hard to tell until she gets older though, I think.
The family sitting down to breakfast.
I love taking the toddlers outside in Sims 3.

Felicia is a genius virtuoso. Too bad that when she's a kid she won't be able to play any instruments like the piano.



Also, in other news, remember my original test family with Maggie and Norm? Maggie's dream was to become Leader of the Free world. I am proud to announce that all on her own, she has managed to do it! She reached the top of the political career. Amberle read it in the paper. I was doubly happy that it was a sim I knew.

Guess what day it is!

I'm totally stealing this idea from Laura, but I played the game for a bit and of course I have a new sim dad today.

Happy Falker Satherhood Trigger!

They happily welcomed a young girl sim which they named Felicia.


Amberle also gave him a new desk and had one of his fish mounted. Doesn't a mounted fish over his desk just say "Dad?" Now we just have to get him into golf.


But that wasn't all. Amberle also made him his favorite food for dessert: cookies.

I should have gotten video of him eating his favorite food 'cause OMG it was cute! He had this dopey grin, and he'd clap his hands before he'd take another bite.


Also, these two had one of their first serious conversations while over lunch... but I was too amazed to get pictures. Having a baby has put some added tension on their relationship. Amberle seems a little perturbed that he can do whatever he wants while she has to stay home. So shortly after that, I had her take a "me" day. (For Amberle, that meant going fishing up near the mountains.)

Second Life

So Amberle did it. She took the plunge.

She asked him on one of their very innocent dates. He was certainly surprised. What did he think they were working towards all this time?


The wedding was something of a sad affair as it was only attended by one person-- Aiden Jones who happened to be their boss.

I have always gotten the feeling that Aiden really liked Amberle. It was just bad timing that landed her in Trigger's arms instead of Aiden's. And now Aiden seems to feel he's just too old, so he's happy to support the married couple and wishes them well.



Married life in the little house by the river is amazing.


Now Amberle has someone to help her with her garden, someone to cook her breakfast in the mornings, and an extra tinkerer in the house to repair the things that break.

Sometimes she can't believe it. She'll stare at her ring and just sigh. When he's in the room, she feels so happy it simply hurts. It is possible for one bad luck sim to hold all that love in one sim heart?


Well, you know what follows after.

She just got the news, and she can't believe it. The first night, while Trigger sleeps, she slides out of bed to stare at her flat stomach. Hard to believe that while she sleeps, a little life is growing in there. Something that she and Trigger both created.



These two are SOOOOOO excited. I have to admit it's pretty cute. He right away got the want to read a parenting book and buy a stuffed animal (nevermind the fact that we hadn't added the extra room yet). They now both have the want to have a girl.


Both of them are in the science career, and Trigger has heard that eating watermellons ensures a girl. It is scientific fact-- he heard it at work. So she snacks on these little mellons like crazy.

Other cute wants: Amberle read a parenting book then wanted Trigger to read it too. She also randomly had a want for a high chair. And then Trigger, in the second day of the pregnancy rolled a want to specifically "Have a child with Amberle."





Notice, new eyes? These are SO much prettier than the flat colors from before.
