New title page, whoo!
So Photoshop has finally met my computer. Which means better quality pictures!
I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

Susie: I can't believe I missed the bus! Now I have to wait until someone comes and picks me up. I guess I'll do my homework while I wait.
Sadly, you did wake up with the unlucky moodlet.

Astrid: Always smile into a spoon and check your teeth for any left overs.

Bailey: Me smilin' mommy!

After Bailey learned to talk, the girls sat down to enjoy some dinner.
Bailey: Mommy?
Astrid: Everything's fine honey. *grabs stomach* Mommy's just going to sit down and enjoy some Cheerios.

Astrid: [Why did this have to happen in front of her!]
Well at least someone is watching. Everyone else seems to be preoccupied..

Until of course Buck arrived.
Buck: What a tiresome day at work, it's good to be home.
![](http://i56.tinypic.com/ofpx0i.png)
Astrid: I'm going to kill you!
![](http://i54.tinypic.com/voy8uv.png)
Buck: What did I do? Wait a minute! Something important was supposed to happen today! Think Buck think!
Astrid: [Yes! He remembered, I'll be at the hospital in no time.]
![](http://i55.tinypic.com/66lm5y.png)
Buck: Oh that's right! It's my birthday!
Astrid: Wait...what?!
![](http://i56.tinypic.com/2dhd8o9.png)
Astrid: Don't mind me just giving birth.
![](http://i52.tinypic.com/nvbg8y.png)
Buck: [Hello handsome, well hello yourself.]
![](http://i52.tinypic.com/t86x3p.png)
Buck: All this birthday business has made me hungry.
![](http://i54.tinypic.com/2a61pop.png)
I suddenly heard girlish screams and discovered it was coming from Action.
Action: MOM'S DYING!!
![](http://i52.tinypic.com/spug75.png)
Action: Mom, Bailey's crying.
Buck: Honey, could you get Bailey? I'm busy.
Astrid: BAILEY! STOP CRYING THIS INSTANT!
![](http://i55.tinypic.com/afghza.png)
Astrid: Finally! Some relief.

Meet Craft Blevins.
I had to stick with my random A, B, C naming scheme I have going. Which won't continue btw.
![](http://i55.tinypic.com/f2546g.png)
Of course the family couldn't be supportive when Astrid was in labor, but they show some family spirit for Craft's birthday.
![](http://i55.tinypic.com/15qdd0y.png)
Hm..at least he has Astrid's hair color.
![](http://i54.tinypic.com/28s21r6.png)
Here's Craft's stats. He has Buck's eyes and Astrid's hair color and freckled skin. It's good to see brown yellow-ish eyes instead of blue.
![](http://i53.tinypic.com/hv6hrr.png)
Action: OMG! A new house!
That's right Action. The Blevin's have moved. No tour yet because everything isn't finalized. Sadly, Buck's side of the family on the family tree has been deleted even though they moved only a few lot spaces away.
![](http://i51.tinypic.com/2hrh1ki.png)
Craft: Bailwee, I wanna pway in da toy box!
Bailey: No I still playin!
![](http://i53.tinypic.com/2aez0ag.png)
Craft: She won't move! *points* :<
You two need to share and take turns. /motherly
![](http://i53.tinypic.com/2valh88.png)
Action: There's people who hoard things, even garbage! I saw it on TV!
Susie: Just because it's on TV, doesn't mean it's okay.
![](http://i51.tinypic.com/za0qp.png)
Buck continues to work on his guitar skill, even if it's clear who the real rocker is.
![](http://i53.tinypic.com/2lth4qu.png)
Even though Astrid is still on maternity leave, I called for a babysitter to help focus on everyone's moods.
![](http://i51.tinypic.com/wia3vc.png)
She's adorable...
![](http://i52.tinypic.com/f0devk.png)
and she does her job. I'm impressed! Action why couldn't you have been older! Hmph.
![](http://i56.tinypic.com/25rm5vk.png)
Craft: I need camewa time too!
Yes you do, baby. Adorable!
![](http://i52.tinypic.com/il98oz.png)
Bailey's birthday is the first birthday in the new house.
![](http://i53.tinypic.com/w6uiox.png)
She rolled Kleptomaniac, oh great.
![](http://i51.tinypic.com/2z9l2yr.png)
Despite being a terrifying thief, she has a heart for painting.
![](http://i52.tinypic.com/11ce1zq.png)
While Action has developed a thing for fishing.
![](http://i53.tinypic.com/1ikjz5.png)
Being successful and catching anything, is a different story.
Action: Fishing looked easy on TV.
![](http://i52.tinypic.com/2n84gea.png)
Susie: Did you catch anything?
![](http://i52.tinypic.com/dxizc7.png)
Action: No. :(
Poor guy looks defeated.
![](http://i55.tinypic.com/amuu4m.png)
Bailey: Craft! You can't look, that's cheating!
![](http://i54.tinypic.com/15eh4s8.png)
Astrid's young adult life came and went. It's now time for her to become a mature adult. Even Astrid knows the term mature isn't fitting for her.
Astrid: *crosses eyes*
![](http://i55.tinypic.com/2mrftlh.png)
For a grumpy sim, Craft is usually happy and calm. *knocks on wood*
![](http://i56.tinypic.com/vsgn7o.png)
Astrid's maternity leave finally wrapped up and she was able to go back to work.
![](http://i51.tinypic.com/2dw8fp4.png)
While I was decorating his library I found his daughter. If she continues to be this cute, Craft's wife is already set in stone.
![](http://i56.tinypic.com/1zxuv5i.png)
Astrid: I'm sorry to bother you while you were at work, but I finished your library.
![](http://i55.tinypic.com/2iudrh5.png)
Her first day back at work, and it's a success!
![](http://i54.tinypic.com/mc5gsi.png)
She even earned an award.
![](http://i51.tinypic.com/nozkuh.png)
I haven't figured out where to put it yet...though.
![](http://i52.tinypic.com/15d1lvs.png)
I completely forgot it was Action's birthday.
Action: Whoo!
![](http://i51.tinypic.com/2prai6h.png)
![](http://i56.tinypic.com/2zr0nww.png)
Ohlala, sexy hair and eyebrows. <3

![](http://i55.tinypic.com/35dcbrb.png)
While in the works of giving Action a makeover, his clumsy trait was too cute not to include.
![](http://i53.tinypic.com/2m7dmkz.png)
:O I think he's sexy kthx. He locked in the handy trait.
![](http://i51.tinypic.com/2hs0nyh.png)
That's right darling, work out. All handy men should be sexy and buff.

I leave you with this picture to enjoy. You're welcome. /Philip DeFranco
