And I'll close this little Yahoo update with the family picture. I hope you guys like how you all turned out!

And Tara compliments Terri while Kristen watches! You guys are all so nice that you were lining up to compliment each other! Well, I have you all in a house; now I just have to figure out how to have some sort of contest as to who gets Cadet . . .

Jenn compliments Heather while Audrey watches.

Here's everybody, on the stage waiting to go on: Audrey, Tara, Jenn the Simmer Girl, Heather, Kristen, and Terri. The Yahoos!

The Social Bunny shows up! I'm going to stop here for today. Since Blogger thinks my blog is a "spam blog," I'm having to type in verifications for each picture! Anyway, I'll get back to updating when I get notice that they have removed the word verification for posting for me. This is a real blog, honest! Odd, I know, but real! :-)

Kashan looks kind of evil in this picture.

Chandler works on finishing up his daughter's portrait.

Next, it's Veronica's turn.

Cerulean maxes out his creativity while a visiting Cleve the maid creepily watches.

We'll start this update with a three-quarter shot of our pretty teen heiress, Veronica. 

And here is exactly what the finished portrait will look like when it is done. I don't have any more family portraits to show yet, so this will be the ending portrait instead for the update. What will Veronica's life be like? Who will she marry? Who will die next in the family? Who will be the one who gets abducted soon? Find out in the updates to come!

Veronica sitting for her official teen portrait, the first one to go in the new house. Isn't she just gorgeous? 

In this Red Hands shot with her Dad, you can see how much they look alike! 

Veronica seems to like her new outfit and hairdo! She's actually smiling! 

. . . and her fun side with her bathtub playing! 

Veronica shows her serious side with her piano playing . . . 

Grey, once again, is late to the party, and blows his noisemaker all by himself. 

A closeup of teen Veronica after transition. She's a Fortune Sim, just like her mom (natural one roll on the die). 

Ooh, very pretty! Although she transitioned in her grandma Wisteria's teen outfit, so I'll have to change that. And look, Grey's granddaughter Anastasia is there for the little party. (I think she came home from school with Veronica.) 

Veronica gets to have the first birthday in the new house! And the headmaster is over, too! 

Joel seemed to like this one fine, so I stuck with the ponytail. 

What about THIS look, Joel? No, you don't like that one either? Okay . . . 

To celebrate, I gave Joel some new clothes and gave him a makeover. Oh, he definitely doesn't like THIS look! 

All of Joel's stargazing pays off in one way at least--getting his Logic skill maxed out. 

Father and Son time over dinner.
