This is the first update/Next update

I live with my mom, my dad, and my cat, Snowbell, on Endeavor Lane in Simdale Valley.  Our house only has one bathroom and it doesn't have a dining room.  Mom says we aren't going to have any more kids in our family.  She and dad need their office for work, so if we had a baby I guess the baby would have to share with mom and dad, like Snowbell does.

December 604 Birthdays

Last Update

Zachary "Zach" Roberts-Bruty turned one this December.  Zach is a very active, very outgoing little boy who keeps his mom and dad on their toes.

The Roberts-Bruty family is feeling a little pinched for space in their small bungalow, but still managing.

Sandy is almost 40, and Zane is 38.  Maybe having their first child in their late 30's has let them have a little more appreciation of the experience, in spite of the challenges.

PSU Honors Dorm

This fall, Hattie Granger moved into the honors dorm.  Her brother and sister are big into Greek life, but even though Hattie gave it a shot, it wasn't for her.  She was already in the honors program, and she seems happier since leaving the sorority house.

Featuring Elise Brown-Petite, age 30; James Petite, age 32; Harrison Petite, age 4; and Helen Petite, age 19 months.

September arrived in Simdale Valley with a sudden sting that quickly turned the leaves and jolted anyone who was still merrily living the myth of never-ending balmy summer, right back to reality.

Elise Brown had dragged her classroom stuff out of  summer storage and packed it all up in the family room. She looked at it, figuring out how many hours she needed to get it all sorted out in her new room at school.
