Circle of Life

It was Lily's time to go.

After a long life, a successful career, reaching her lifetime goal, and 4 children...

...Lily was summoned by the Grim Reaper. A very pregnant Fawn was heartbroken.

Older sister Eden did come to visit for support...sporting a very new hairstyle.

Unfortunately, there was a little too much support, too much of the time, and Fawn couldn't even pee in private. Which resulted in a very embarrassing accident.

Luckily, Eden was quick to overlook it.

Wade and Lily were still there in "spirit."

And were able to witness the birth of their first grandchild, so to speak.

Dave joined the family.

They were now a family of 3 (and 2 ghosts.) *And lots of broken appliances.*

Little Dave grew so fast.

It felt like he was a baby one day.

And a child the next.

Another red-haired Blue!

*Cake for breakfast!*

Since Dave rolled music lover, a little green violin was purchased.

One more hysterical pee later, and Fawn found out she was expecting baby #2.

The cake for breakfast thing was definitely catching on. 

Before she knew it a little girl joined the family. Meet Jill Blue.

Dave was now a big brother! 

Again, it seemed like Jill transformed from a little baby to a child over a few days. She rolled bookworm.

Since Fawn felt the urge for a family of 3, she and Emery got down to business once more. Since Lily wasn't there to awkwardly interrupt their woo hoo sesssions, a random neighbor decided to drop by...sans pants.

*Hi guys!*

Even with the distraction, the baby-making worked. Fawn was pregnant with #3.

While Fawn "enjoyed" her pregnancy and experienced a few more bladder accidents, Dave and Jill grew close. They both enjoyed chess...

...and listening to their Dad read them stories. Dave found this story particularly hilarious.

Fawn still found time to focus on increasing her painting skill. Only 2 more levels and she would complete her lifetime goal. While Emery worked on improving his charisma to move up the athletic career ladder.

*So sweet*

While randomly feeling an urge to kick box while 9 months pregnant, Fawn went into labor for the 3rd time.

Little Chad joined the family. 

While Jill and Dave worked on trying to become whiz kids, Chad quickly transitioned from infant to school age.

While not looking much like his siblings, Chad also inherited the red hair. (What a strong gene!) He rolled neat to round the family out.

So many red-heads! I'm a little sad no one inherited Lily's blue skin tone :(

An Awkward Woo Hoo

Whoops.

Lily was the queen of awkwardness. 

...and also of stomping off.

With the most awkward woo hoo possible under her belt, Fawn moved on improving her painting skills.

Surprisingly, both of these paintings were considered masterpieces. Only 3 more until she would be at the next level.

Even though Emery had already moved in, they decided they still wanted to officially be Mr. and Mrs.

Fawn donned a beautiful white gown, while Emery kept it casual...very casual.

The entire family was there to witness the special occasion.

The party was a gold medal success.

After celebrating her honeymoon, Fawn took the most hysterical pee ever.

There was no need to try and distinguish the pink lines...the confetti explosion made it quite clear that Fawn was now eating for two.

Sadly, Wade passed on before he could meet his newest grandchild.

Emery was present to watch the whole thing.

Luckily, it did not spoil his appetite.

Wade was buried in the backyard. (It sounds worse that it really is.)

Fawn handled her grief by painting lots of sad portraits.

While Emery spent time at the gym.

He decided to take an entry level job in the athletic career since it fit so well with his bodybuilding ambition.

The Blue family was back to 3 flamingos.

I think I mentioned this earlier but I read the initial rules wrong of having 3 flamingos per person. I had already made it most of the way through the first generation before I caught my mistake. So my OWBC will have a 1 flamingo per person rule. ;)
