Samuel is the latest addition to the Easton clan and son of Sean Easton and wife Kayla (n.e. Limburgh). Looking almost completely like his father he spent his baby days bonding with the close and distant family and enchanted everyone with his lovely smile.
Now that he has turned to a toddler, Sam is still charming but also shows some seriousness not expected in a very small child. His parents hope to prepare him well for adult life and the possible taking over of the family business.
Little Anna was born to Gabriella Garcia Rupio as a 'child of the gods' as it is called in the Valonic faith. Each summer the ordinated priestesses have a celebration in which they choose one man and 'unite' with him. Noone really has to know who said man is but in this case he does. It's Olaf Svensson and he shows his support for Gaby and Anna by paying legal child support for her.
Anna herself is a very happy child. Her mother takes good care of her in the little house downtown that she purchased after her move out of Aurora Valons home. It is not yet known if Anna will follow her mother's footsteps and become a priestess herself.
The young Easton family is adjusting well to their new addition Samuel. Though she didn't think it it turned out Kayla is a perfect mother and more than ready to take over the job as the family's 'Mama'. She'll have to as Sean was forced to take over the family business due to his nephew John wandering off to college...
The same goes for their neighbours, the young Svensson's. Mr. Svensson was gracious enough to send both of his wives to college for a higher education and thus had to take over some other kind of 'family business', namely son Noah!
The two 'men', left on their own, are doing great and to us it seems enjoy the time bonding. It's quite uncommon these days to have a father spend time with his son like this. Olaf's wives must be very happy ladies.
Meanwhile Priestess Gabriella Garcia Rupio left the Valonic headquarters to move downtown with her little daughter Anna. Thanks for sending in this picture of the precious little lady! It seems they're adjusting well to their new surroundings. Unknown is the reason for leaving Aurora Valon's house but rumour has it it has to do with Ms. Valon's new pregnancy. We'll keep you updated.
The Simmons house lost a roommate when Natalie decided to act against her father's wishes and went to college. She's studying psychology and is doing well so far. Her connection to John Easton granted her a room in the famous Easton dormitory and she's quite happy to be there.
Things do definitely not look so good for the Kaplan family. While son Mohammed was connecting to the neighbour's children (in the picture: Liv Svensson) desaster hit in the house.
President Mustafa Kaplan and wife Elizabeth found his second wife Alexandra dead in the hallway. The weapon that obviously shot her lay right next to the dead body and in front of little Ms. Sherazade Kaplan's high chair. The whole family is treated by psychologists but the crime is not yet resolved. It couldn't possibly have been suicide?
What have these little eyes seen? Sherazade was the only eyewitness to whatever happened to her mother but she hasn't learned to talk yet so the officers were not successful in getting something out of her. We'll keep you informed on the matter. Our heartfelt condolences to the devastated family. Rest in peace, Mrs. Alexandra Kaplan.
John Easton decided to study classical dance. Much to his mother's grief he did not move in to the Easton dormitory but resides in the 'The art of arts'-dormitory next door in Vezz Island college. Well, though this is not the classical decision for an Easton boy we wish the very best to young Mr. Easton. May his dreams come true.
To end this issue with a happier matter we'll show you the first picture of Mrs. Stefanie Kelly (was: Easton) and her new spouse Michael. Mere days before her transition to an elder Mrs. Kelly gave birth to a little girl, Sarah. It's assumed that Mr. Kelly is the father of the girl so she has his last name. The living family has approved of Mrs. Kelly's new spouse but the original Easton marriage settlement requires the wife of an Easton to move out of the Easton house as soon as their youngest common child turns to an adult if said wife remarries. As Eva is not a teenager yet, the question isn't soon to arise.
Welcome to Pirri Beach, little Anna Garcia Rupio, first daughter of Valonic priestess Gabriella Garcia Rupio. The mother did not agree to send in a picture of the child as it's the tradition in the Valonic faith to keep the children secluded from the public until they are at least at the age of two. Congratulations anyway! ;)
Welcome, Nkimbe Kyle Simmons, first son of Mr. Kyle Simmons and wife Athena! Be the pride and joy of your family!
This precious bundle of joy is Ms. Sherazade Kaplan, daughter of Mustafa Kaplan and wife Alexandra. She looks just like her father, doesn't she? Congratulations to the Kaplan family!
Welcome to the SimWorld, little Mr. Svensson. The rumours had it right, Mrs. Mary Svensson gave birth to Noah Svensson this thursday. He's very healthy and alert and the complete Easton and Svensson families are overjoyed with pride for the new addition!
And last but not least, welcome to Pirri Beach, Samuel Easton, son of Sean Easton and wife Kayla! The little redhead is grandchild to Miron and Stefanie Easton and great grandchild to Harold and Grace Easton. He is welcomed into the biggest and most renowned family of Pirri Beach. Congratulations! ;)
Sean Easton graduated summa cum laude in Biology on Vezz Island college! Congratulations, Mr. Easton. We were wondering what his plans for the future might be and he surprised us with a spontaneous invitation to his wedding party at 1st Eastonic church of Pirri Beach.
He married Ms. Kayla Limburgh, now Easton, surrounded by his family and friends. All that's left for us is to say: Grand start, young Mr. Easton and congratulations also to his lovely wife.
*coughs* Mr. Olaf Svensson obviously had other things to do after graduation. Rumour has it that he's secretly dating the Valonic priestess Gabriella Garcia Rupio despite the preparations to his own weddings in the Eastonic faith! At least the weddings took place as announced.
Congratulations Mr. and Mrs.'s Svensson! The lucky wives were Mary Svensson (n.e. Easton) and Cheryl Svensson (n.e. Kaplan). The latest little secret is that Mrs. Svensson in the picture may be already carrying a young Svensson...we'll keep you updated.
On a sidenote Ms. Isabella Garcia Rupio and her girlfriend Ebru Kaplan moved in to an apartment house onn Pirri Beach's East Coast. Isabella is still an artist of well renown in town and captures her audience with dramatic street art at the moment.
Colin is raised by the Garcia Rupios. He loves his foster mom and family a lot and rewards them with a happy and content attitude.
Charismatic little Colin can play hours on end without ever whining or complaining. Sometimes he's almost suspiciously quiet and Mhaire then gets him to play with her for a while. He's also a fast learner and is already able to walk and talk.
Gavin Valon was born to Valonic high priestess Aurora. Since he's weened he's raised in the Easton household. Gavin seems to be an unhappy and cranky little guy constantly whining. Maybe he misses his mother though Stefanie Easton gives her best to cheer the little guy up.
Aurora is a blonde woman of unknown descent. Noone knows why she chose Pirri Beach as a home and how on earth she passed the immigration tests. She arrived shortly after the Eastonic cult was established and the same minute founded her own cult called Valonic. She claims the foundations of the Valonic faith reach back thousands of years and is very particular about the requirements to get 'the knowledge'.
Michel is the next one to deal with a mother that wants to HAVE kids more than wanting to actually CARE for them. He's a boy though and will have to see if this changes things. At the moment Michel is a content happy little camper...
Little Liv is a quiet child. So quiet her mother nearly always forgot her in her crib and went on with business as if she wasn't there. Thanks to Liv's brother Olaf the social worker never came, because he learned how to make bottles for his little sister when his mother was too busy watching tv to nurse her.
Now as a toddler Liv doesn't have the best view on life. She expects bad things to happen and thus never finds something to be happy about. Olaf had a hard time leaving her behind and now she's on her own surviving in her boy-loving family.
Olaf wasn't happy to leave Simdinavia behind. He missed his friends and school and the language he grew up with a lot. When he realized Pirri Beach's female overpopulation his view on the move changed though. He fell madly in love with Gabriella Garcia Rupio and planned an marrying her as soon as he could afford it. He was really depressed when he realized she was to become a Valonic priestess and didn't date any other girl for a long time after getting to know the facts.
But he wouldn't be a Svensson if he hadn't found ways of dealing with it. He dived into college head over heels and studies Sim-psychology now. He's dating Cheryl Kaplan at the moment and through her discovered the Eastonic cult. It's only days since he converted but he already plans on becoming an Eastonic prophet and having at least three wives and hoards of children. Secretly though he's still hurt and hopes for Gaby to change her mind...the power of three bolts is never to be underestimated.
Pinja is a very modern Simdinavian woman and had planned to keep her job even with a growing family. But Nannies are short in Pirri Beach so she is a stay at home mother at the moment caring for her three children. She's not happy about Leif's affairs but doesn't tell because secretly he doesn't care much for him either. He was just the ticket to getting the family she always wanted...
Leif loves Pirri Beach with it's female overpopulation. He doesn't care for kids or his wife or much anything at all except his own fun. And he has it. Work is not his strong side, he can't even do the dishes without feeling exhausted and he almost hates Pinja for making him go every day but someone has to provide for the growing Svensson family, right?
The Svensson family came to Pirri Beach as immigrants from Simdinavia. Pinja, the mother of the family, wanted to find a peaceful place for raising her son Olaf but as soon as they arrived, she discovered she was pregnant with little Liv. Another pregnancy followed and one of the big family secrets resulted from it. They had twins but only kept the boy as their house is quite small and they didn't have the money to move to a bigger one. Pinja still has guilt feelings but she loves little Michel enough to forget about them every once in a while.
Carlotta was a very active and alert girl right from the start of her little life. She kept her family awake at night and left them enough mess to keep them busy throughought the day every day.
Things went on like this when she became a toddler. It took a while until the family found ways of channeling all her energy but...
Gabriella is a very beautiful girl since the day she was born. 'Little snow white' is the nickname she's going by to this very day in her family.
Even when she was a toddler she had that aura of thoughtfulness around her. Everyone was amazed at her meekness and only her attractiveness preserved her from being totally overlooked.
As a child she became a photo model for her artistic big sister Isabella. Isa dressed her up in all kinds of period costumes, flamenco dresses, mermaid costumes and took pictures of her beautiful little sister.
As soon as her teenage days started, Gaby couldn't steer clear of the attracted Pirri Beach males. From young to old everyone kissed the floor she walked on but she rejected all but one: Olaf Svensson. They had a few dream dates but never went further than kissing on the doorstep. Somehow Gaby knew there was something else in store for her. This 'something else' found her in the form of Aurora Valon, the Valonic high priestess of Pirri Beach. She invited her to live with her and learn all there is to know about the Valonic faith and Gaby agreed.
Now, after three years of hard training, Gabriella was ordinated and wears the blue robe and cap of the Valonic priestesses. Olaf was devastated as the priestesses are not allowed to marry. Gaby on the other hand couldn't be happier. She now has the ability to do good for everyone and she uses it.
Isabella is picture shy! Or probably she's just too busy playing the Pirri Beach girl's field to have pictures of herself taken. Taking after her father she just can't be faithful and there's no need to either. After dating half of the Pirri Beach female population she has now settled with Ebru Kaplan after graduating in Arts.
Mhaire Garcia Rupio (n.e. McKenzie) is a family sim through and through. She wasn't too sad when Isabella 'happened' because she loved Carlos and it couldn't be soon enough until the day of wearing that wedding dress for her.
Carlos loves his family but deep in his heart he's a Casanova. He loves women of all shapes and sizes and hasn't really thought the move to Pirri Beach through. On a secluded island with a very small population there's no chance for hiding affairs so he just doesn't have them and is suffering...
When Carlos was only sixteen he had that prom fling with Mhaire McKenzie from which daughter Isabella descended. His parents had him marry the girl and ever since then he remained faithful at heart though not physically. He's having a hard time with all the kids in the house and the demanding job of keeping all Pirri Beach houses in perfect shape. He plans to leave behind at least one completely new building when he has to go with Grimmy and has already spotted a lot to buy and build on.
The Garcia Rupios immigrated to Pirri Beach from a Simspanic background. Though the mother of the family is of Simrish descent, the family culture is definitely simspanic. Carlos was the only Sim invited to live in Pirri Beach without undergoing the immigration tests as he's an architect and well needed in Pirri Beach with all it's old, uninhabited houses. He followed the call with wife Mhaire and daughter Isabella.
Mohammed is the cranky little pride and joy of his father Mustafa. The first son, the heir, the world...
Welcome little guy and be thankful for your sisters and stepmother as your own mother handles you like a trophy and doesn't do anything for you except nursing.
