This post is going back to just a tiny bit over a week long – and since most of the week was spent studying, there’s not a huge amount of pictures, for which I apologize.

Now, where were we… (Trying for Baby!)

Success! Poor Sione looks a little worried, though. He seems to be thinking “gee why are we doing this now, we’re both still unemployed!”

Halfway through the week, we have Lyric take a quick break from studying and celebrate Winterfest.

I don’t remember what he got, but it wasn’t spectacular. Lyric gets a nice, expensive painting.

Then Santa gives her a London’s Choice stove. I leave it in the family inventory – no sense having either of them starting fires yet.

Uh-oh, it’s that time! (And at least she had the decency to wait until classes were over for the day!)

Welcome, little Jax Rambler. Our heir is going to be a boy again!

Through the course of the week, Lyric gets this…

… then this, just by studying and going to class. Guess that leaves choice of careers wide open for her between Astronaut, Criminal, or Secret Agent.

Sione.. poking at the baby doesn’t help. Change the poor baby’s diaper!

Sione: “What? Did someone say something?”

Somehow I manage to pull a 4.0 while being pregnant. A feat I wasn’t sure I could do. Now if only I could have done half as well when I was in college years ago…

Lyric goes to the graduation ceremony, and sees that guy who was rude to her at the library. Apparently he graduated, too. And what’s up with the other dudes bracelets… I mean, if that’s not an.. interesting.. fashion choice, I don’t know what is. They’re all giving the side-eye to:

…. This dude, who just showed up to cheer all of them on. Weird.. but okay. Happy mascot day?

New Year’s arrives, and I have Lyric make a resolution to get a promotion (since she’s got a job now. I put her in the Criminal career – Boss branch because that was the highest paid job she was offered for finishing her University Degree.)

Look, ma, we have a house now! .. Er.. Sorta. Sione seems to like it, at least. Having a good bed should help, and we’re still able to be within the mid range tiny home for Lyric’s Charisma gains she needs to do for her aspiration. (She’s at level 7 now, I believe)

Sione: “No, you’re not supposed to stir it that way! Go Clockwise!”

Oh, you’re going to complain about how she’s cooking when you have no skill. I see how it is.

Jax rolled Silly. I can deal with that.

And he’s got some really cool genetics. Love that skin tone with the blond hair. Plus, this is a really cute picture.

I buy little Jax the minimum he needs to be a toddler: potty, bed, blocks, toy… and I figure out that the only room I have for said bed and stuff.. is in the middle of the kitchen. I’m just not willing to lose that Tiny home bonus until I have no choice.

Sione: “TOY! Thank you, Watcher!”

Um…. that … wasn’t for.. you. Sigh. *Buys another toy*

At least Sione seems like he’s going to be a good dad. He’s going to be doing a lot of tucking in with Lyric having to work evenings when she’s “on shift”. Not sure where he pulled that toddler book out of, but we didn’t have one before he started reading it. LOL.

Lyric gets home from work – without a promotion because she aged up on her own and didn’t finish her work shift. How rude. – and makes some more fruit salad for the family. It turns out “Excellent” even without Sione’s “help”.

And.. I’ll leave you with Lyric’s little “wall of fame”.. her graduation picture and Magna Cum Laude diploma. She’s officially the first Rambler to go to school, nevermind graduate, and she somehow manages to do it with honors. Way to go, girl!
