"Hey, I think he likes me!" The gardener is intrigued; however, he thinks he should wait a few more years before paying too much attention to Orchid! 

Speaking of Orchid, she figures the bst way to get the cute gardener's attention is to stand in the flowerbed in her underwear. Unsuprisingly, it works.  

Orchid also likes spending time with the kids during breakfast before they all head off to school, telling them fun "alien stories" while they shovel cereal in their mouths. I think she's gotten over her jealousy and is enjoying being an "auntie." 

Orchid tries to keep things clean, but with a house full of messy Legaseas, it's a difficult job! I had no idea that the kitchen island could get so nasty-looking! Yuck! 

Green also has chores to do around the house. It's so cute how kids crawl into the dishwasher to get the plates in! Yikes, someone really needs to clean the stove! 

That does't deter Green from going back to practice, however.  

And here she scares her great-grandson by popping out of the piano during piano practice. 

Violet, however, has been very active. Here she glides by in front of a studious Ice. 

Green tells his dad that he is proud to be an alien and that makes his father happy. It's good to see that Ice got his mom's smile as well, especially since we won't be seeing Lavender's ghost around the house. The family had her ashes placed in a beautiful platinim urn, but due to a mix up at the mortuary, the urn disappeared! 

A side shot of Green. Hopefully the kids won't tease him about having eyes that stick out like a frog's! 

Green after a new hair style. 

"Look, I have five fingers! I'm just like everyone else! Wait a minute . . . they're green!" 

Ice, Sky, Orchid and Grey watch as Green prepares to shimmy himself into the child stage. 

The guys spend a lot of time together, however, in a way, while they ardently stargaze. Cyan was deeply disappointed to find he had a different experience on the ship than his brothers and hopes to be abducted again so that he can have an alien child next time. 

Here's the one time everyone in the family (except for toddler Green) was eating together. They seemed to enjoy it. 

And here is Sky doing her best Sleeping Beauty imitation. 

A close up of Sky. I think she is very striking, with her elegant green features and luminescent eyes. 

But it's not always fun and games for Sky. Here, Grey is happily teaching his own child to study, like he taught almost everyone else's kids in the family. 

. . . as well as thrilling games of Red Hands. 

She spends lots of time with her daddy, Grey, as well. They love playing chess together . . . 

Meanwhile, Green's aunt/half-sister, Sky, changed her hair and Grey let her wear a little make up. She loves the blue lip gloss she bought at the store with the allowance she gets for doing her chores, like making the bed. 

He also loves putting on the bunny suit and making Green laugh. Grey figured Ice would come around eventually and he did! Now, he's a great dad! 

Ice may have been squeemish about diapers, but he has no problem teaching Green to use the potty. It looks like maybe Green wants to be good in school, like Daddy. 

Oh, here was everybody at Green's party. They put this picture in the Legasea photo album. 

From then on, Green became Daddy's boy.
