Today's pics are all about Quinn Bruenig. (Daughter of Marsha--she was born in college and kept her mom's maiden name when her parents got married.)



First of all, she's probably the strongest kid in Agnar Sound. She ruthlessly pummeled her father with a football for close to an hour.



Nicole showed up at the park, which saved poor Keith. But Quinn's no fool. 
"Come on, at least TRY! Stop letting me score!" 
"I'm not letting you do anything! You're just that good!"
Yeah, you're gonna need to be a little less obvious, Nicole.



Soon after, Keith's cousin Julia and her daughter Olivia arrive. As the grown-ups sit down to play chess, Quinn greets her bestie and they run off to play together.



Back home, Quinn tells her uncle Lucas all about the lemonade she makes and why it's super special and totally superior to everyone else's.

Olivia and her little sister Umeko have a very serious conversation at breakfast. Wonder what they're talking about?


Julia tucks her little ones in and thanks the Watcher for giving Simkind bunk beds. There's no way all her kids would fit in this house otherwise.



Emma's OTH is Sports. Lucas's is Fitness. Venyamin's is also Sports. This is a very active family. (Watch the next kid have something completely different.)



"Higher, sis, higher!"

Thought this was pretty cute--some stuck Z's made it look like Cyrus fell asleep in his dad's arms while being cuddled.

I think the soccer goal is one of my favorite things about Freetime. Cousins Scott and Umeko spend the morning playing together. Is it possible for more than two sims to use this? If not, it should be.



It's a no-uniform day at school (thanks to a small glitch with Nicole's uniform I couldn't fix right away). Everyone's enjoying themselves. It seems a little odd to have just one teen in a class full of kids, though.



A rare treat for any of my sims. Ingrid, Holly, and Scott get to eat out. Well, it was bowling night, and they were all here, so...



Look who else is here. Finnian and Orlando are out drinking, and apparently they've got Kennedy Cox along with them. Neither of these two even know him.

It's a regular family reunion at the bowling alley--seems everyone here is one of Quinn's relatives. Even June's come along.



After a long time alone, Emil becomes the last of his generation to pass on. We'll miss you, Emil. But now it's time for the third generation to shine, as the fourth is born.



For once, this lot has a nice family breakfast. Don't worry, we'll be back to screaming toddlers and exhausted parents by nightfall.



The artistic endeavors of two-year-olds. Or...maybe some culinary endeavors. 

Orlando thanks his lucky stars that there's someone around to help out with the boys. Before he's done burping Cyrus, June's already feeding Liam, and he doesn't have to worry about attending to both of them at once.



Reed and Finnian spend a day off doing what they love. (And at the end of their date that night, they're "doing what they love" in a different way.)



Late that night, after a break-in, I'm trying to get everyone back in bed when I spot this. Nicole's turned to an old friend for comfort. Maybe she's not quite ready to grow up yet.



Ren enjoys an evening spent at the town's new bowling alley.

Michael and Randy spend their first--and only--day alone together playing chess. All afternoon. They almost finished a game before Randy had to go to work.



Little William happily takes his first steps into his mother's waiting arms.



When first Harrison, then Julia show up at Ingrid's house, the three siblings have some time to hang out together, which they haven't in quite a while. It's mostly a lot of teasing from the girls--he's older, sure, but there's two of them.



As Scott passionately goes on about his love for robots and tinkering, Julia thinks that she may have found a future apprentice.

Left to right, here's Xania, Zane, and Yvette, my lovely alien triplets. They're waiting for Mama to finish her breakfast so they can go play.



Zane spent most of the day in front of the fishtank--he's a Nature-hobby sim. Xania checked it out but wasn't too terribly impressed. Yvette was just fussing the whole day and taking up most of Mama's attention.

Some late-night cuddles from Uma to her younger son, Cody. Having the boys share a bedroom is working well--so far.



There's a high-stakes shootout going on at the Agnar Sound School. If you get two games of Cops and Robbers going in the same room, it's almost like everyone is playing together.



Julia may be done building June, but she's sure going to require plenty of maintenance. Nevertheless, despite her expanding belly, and four little feet kicking in protest, Julia gets down into the repairs.



Little Venyamin has just discovered his dollhouse.

Everybody's dancin'. (I am in love with Marsha's athletic wear.)



While his sisters sleep, Zane shows me that he's full of energy. Can't wait to see what these three are like as kids.



Ingrid dances her niece around. Her son looks on, wanting her to do it with him. Which she does, right after this picture's taken.



"Your name is June."
Julia's over the moon that she's finally completed her first Servo. Her husband is also over the moon--with a third kid on the way, it's about time he had some help around the house.

This is perfectly normal...

Gabriel passes out after giving birth to Xania, Yvette, and Zane. Well...can ya blame him?
(So happy the Z baby was a boy. I so badly wanted to use that name!)



Four new students are starting at the Agnar Sound School today. They're all quite excited and ready to play!



Nicole and Quinn find that they not only have the same favorite hobby, but the same number of nice points as well--one. These two are going to have such fun playing together.



Speaking of kids with the same hobby, Olivia takes Nicole's little sister Theresa under her wing and teaches her how to play chess. And soon after this picture was taken, how to cheat at chess.

Genesis and Harrison share a look as they go to collect their respective sons at the end of Family Day. It's past their bedtime, after all.



I'm not sure why all the male dormies have matching swimsuits here.



Ren brings Quinn home from school. Quinn knows right away that they're going to be besties. (Ren had a want to be friends with her, and when I played her house, she had the same one for him! If they weren't cousins I'd say this was a sign to fix them up.)



Quinn's got a new little brother, being tucked in by his mom, Marsha Bruenig (now an Agnarsson). Welcome to the world, William.

This is the face Ren made while hugging the family cat. 
He's got quite big eyes and mouth, so he should be interesting.

Because she's a teacher, Ingrid doesn't get to spend a lot of time with her son. But today is Saturday, and Holly's asleep since she works nights, so today is just for the two of them!



Just another day at the neighborhood robot shop. Julia works hard towards her gold badge, Orlando helps out for once by running the till, and Olivia hangs out with her cousin Quinn, who happened to drop by. Poor Umeko is just in the baby dangle inside the house.



Who should drop by at Lucas and Emma's house but Lucas's twin brother Keith and his wife Marsha. We've got quite the matchy-matchy aesthetic going on here.



Paul and Nicole have an impromptu sleepover after he curls up in her bed. I brought down one of the house's spare futons rather than kicking him out.

Finnian makes an attempt at dinnertime conversation. Neither of his daughters seem interested.



Little Ren gets a surprise visit from Auntie Julia!



For whatever reason, Paul's decided to wear his school uniform to the park...on Saturday. Well, he and his mom can enjoy a nice game of chess.



Marsha suspects, and this random stranger agrees: this strange illness Gabriel's been describing may just be a good old-fashioned case of pregnancy!
