And when it isn't attitude, it's diapers and more diapers! Diapers, attitude and missing my mother are too much!
Harald's seeing a lot of Elisabeth Kearney lately. I'm not sure I approve; she's too old for him and there's just something about her that's not quite right. With any luck, this too shall pass.
I'll confess up front; I eavesdropped. He certainly isn't about to tell his mother anything, but I overheard him telling Elisabeth about visiting a classmate and being shaken down for money above and beyond the weekly tribute we've been paying. Oh, for the day when Sunset Valley is wiped clean of those bloodsucking scum!
Just to put icing on the cake, I'm pregnant again.
Time for an attitude adjustment, chilling in the garden.
What a pair of scamps! Life is certainly easier since those two have started school!
Helmer has quite a talent for painting.
Bjarne is a little charmer.
Harald, bless his heart, is quite the athlete. He's determined to play for the Llamas when he finishes school, and forgive the mother's pride but he may just be good enough to do so.
And now there's Valfrid.
Elizabeth turned 65 and got the fire in her belly to kick her political career into high gear.
She spends every spare moment campaigning round town. Her goal is to rid City Hall of the puppets of the mob.
Jiro's been named a five star chef! Lobster Thermidor to celebrate! I've always known I was lucky to have him; now the rest of the family knows as well.
Harald has indeed signed with the Llamas (and has again seen fit to fill his mother in on what's going on in his life).
Elizabeth's been elected mayor and is keeping her promise to clean house at City Hall. I hope with all my heart that she doesn't meet with a tragic accident over that.
She still campaigns as wholeheartedly as ever. She's running for governor now.
Needless to say, she won by a landslide.
Helmer turned 21. Jiro brought home the first birthday cake anyone in Sunset Valley has ever seen.
It was a bittersweet occasion, as he's moving away immediately to marry Angeline Foley. I can't blame him; our shelter is bursting at the seams already, but we'll miss him terribly.
Harald and Elisabeth (Kearney) have apparently had a falling out. She doesn't come round any more and there's been a parade of young ladies since. Lately, it's mostly Sonja Baughman. She's very nice; I hope she'll be the one.
