May 2026:
Logan Gates-Watson is 37, Shelley is 37, Lily is 15, and James is 11
My friend Dee and I like to play games at the comic and arcade store. Dee is 14 while I’ll be 16 this summer, but we became friends back in elementary school and so the age difference isn’t a big deal.

I can’t promise how often I’ll update, but I did miss my Sims and felt like playing. 🙂

Zared Smith is 43, Carol is 40, Adam and Ethan are 15, and Isabella is 12
Isabella almost burned the house down while making supper one night.

February 2020:
Zared Smith is 37, Carol is 34, Adam and Ethan are 9, and Isabella is 6
(Zane Smith is 37, Lily Gates-Watson is 9)
Carol sighs as she walks into the courthouse early one morning after dropping the kids off at school. She had been summoned for jury duty and isn’t exactly thrilled about it. She has a ton of work to be done–lessons to be planned, end of year tests to prepare for (because she knows the end of the school year will be here far too quickly), artwork assignments that still need to be graded. This isn’t a good time for her to have jury duty.

January 2020:
Logan and Shelley Gates-Watson are 30, Lily is 9, James is 5
(Audrey Sutton is 30, Adam and Ethan Smith are 9, Matthew Lloyd is 6)
“Can you please turn that game off?” Lily grumbles across the room, shooting an annoyed look toward her brother. “I’m trying to do homework.”

July 2019:
Jason Lloyd is 31, Lilly Do is 30
(Logan Gates-Watson is 29)
Jason Lloyd can honestly say he’s never felt this way about a woman before. He and Lilly have been together for five years now, the longest relationship Jason has ever had. And yet he feels just as crazy about her as did the day he met her.
Best of me

March 2019:
Logan and Shelley Gates-Watson are 29, Lily is 8, and James is 4
(Charlie Tang is 60)
Narrated by Shelley
Sometimes I look at Lily and wonder when my little baby girl grew up. She’s almost nine years old now and already she’s showing us glimpses of the young woman she’ll become.

Summer 2018 Birthdays
Posted in Birthdays, Gates-Watson Family, Lloyd Family, Smith Family on October 8, 2010| 3 Comments »
First up for the birthdays this summer is one-year-old Sasha Lloyd, who looks like a female clone of her daddy. Seeing her reinforced to me just how much Matthew takes after Nancy, because he’s never had the same nose and mouth that Ian had as a toddler/child. But Sasha is 100% Ian’s daughter!

May 2018:
Zared Smith is 35, Carol is 32, Adam and Ethan are 7, and Isabella is 4
(Dee Smith is 5, Lily Gates-Watson is 7, Marcus Craig is 35)
The warm late spring days mean that the Smith family spends all the time that they aren’t at school or work outside enjoying the sunshine. The kids love to fly their kites in the open space between their house and the Menons next door.
