Last Update/Next Update

Laney told me a couple weeks after Thanksgiving, she thought we might be pregnant.  We've both been wanting a second child for a couple of years.  We're forty this year, and we would really like three children, so time is of the essence.

So Grateful

It's hard to believe Declan and I have been in Simdale Valley for almost four years now.  It was hard for me, leaving my position as a junior executive behind, and buying a house in a town that was new to us, but it has been worthwhile and I am so grateful for the life we have here.  We moved here because it is such a great place to raise a family, and to be near family.

McElveen Family, Generation 2

Charlotte (age 2), Laney Redbird McElveen, & Declan McElveen


Declan Endeavor is the oldest child of the original founders of my Strangetown neighborhood.  When he was a child, the family had very little and both his parents were working long hours.  Declan, consequently, really knows the value of a simoleon and since his 13th birthday has held down a job as well as excelled.  Declan majored in Economics at Fiesta Tech, graduated with honors, and got a job in a tech company right after graduation.  He climbed the ladder quickly, has made a lot of money, and has invested it well.

Laney Redbird and Declan met early in their college career at Fiesta Tech, and became engaged before leaving college.  Laney is very serious and active, and since college wanted to have three children graduate from college.  After graduating with honors, Laney got a job in a retail company headquarters and became a junior executive within a few years.  She quit working for the family to move to Simdale Valley and to take care of Charlotte full time as a baby and toddler. She would like return to work when she feels that her children's needs allow it, and she and Declan are considering opening a business in Simdale Valley, but haven't decided what type would be most needed by the community.

In August 604, Laney and Declan welcomed their second child, a son, named Ethan.

The McElveen Family came to New Simdale Valley from their home in downtown Strangetown.  Jackson and Chloe had worked all their lives on the military base (he was a career military man, she was a scientist).  They put their three children, Declan, Simone, and her twin, John, through college and saw them gain much more success in life than they had been able to.  Declan, especially, made a lot of money within a few years of graduation, in the business career.  During the transition to Simdale Valley, Chloe was able to get a job with one of the research companies that supplied the science lab on the military base at Strangetown.   She is a  consulting CEO.  Now that they are settled in Simdale Valley, living with George and Simone, Jackson has fulfilled his wish of retiring and spends his days with his granddaughter, Sienna. 

Declan is currently a junior executive at a large tech company in Port Prominence.  He and Laney are considering opening an arcade in New Simdale Valley.  His wife, Laney, is happy for the meantime to stay home with Charlotte, but she will probably eventually return to her business career as well, so a business in town would allow her to be close by.  Simone (Slacker Career) manages the lifeguard program at the Simdale Valley Community Pool and the YMCA, and supervises the Drama Club at the school.  She and George got married after college.  George is a descendant of both the Endeavor and Fish families from Simdale Valley. ( He is named after George Fish).   He is an architect and hoping to build on a lot of special projects in Simdale Valley, Summerton, and Port Prominence during his career.
