mars valley: pell family, round one!
I'm not entirely sure what has taken me so long to get these pictures up! I've had them edited and all played out for weeks, but I just haven't uploaded them! I guess I'm lazy! :) Hopefully I'll remember all the details of this update and I can move forward with this project. The neighborhood looks a lot more fleshed out now that there are actual families moved in and I'm having a lot of fun thinking about backstories and playing, so far!
Anyway, it's time to meet the Pell family, the third family in Mars Valley!
Samuel (the child) and Arthur are the two oldest, their father Cliff's progeny from his previous alien abductions. While they don't always get along, they try to since moving is hard enough already.
Samuel (Sam).
Arthur.
The youngest and newest member of the family, Emma. :)
(needlecream's Dido, aged down.)
Finally, father and breadwinner, Cliff Pell!
The neighbors seem eager to welcome the newest settlers to Mars Valley.
(Pictured: Natasha Barton, Bruce Wilson and a blonde who you'll meet in another round. ;) )
Arthur and Bruce hit it off pretty well. :)
Once the visitors had gone home, things kind of got crazy. Taking care of kids, having next to no savings, everyone with low mood..!
(At least Emma is cute, even though I don't like toddlers.)
Cliff spent their first night in Arthur's bed.
Because Sam spent the night in his!
Another neighbor who you'll meet in another round. ;)
Here is where I breathed a definite sigh of relief!
These two get along really well!
... Sometimes.
Skilling up so that he can get a promotion at work!
Arthur is making friends with Adele Wilson after school!
And Sam brought home her brother, Thomas, with him from school. :)
At least homework is getting done, though.
And while Arthur may not like all his siblings, he still helps take care of them.
