Strohm Family

Generation 2, Chapter 2

This one's going to be a rather short chapter, because the other set of pictures from Jade's childhood work better as their own chapter, in my opinion.

Once she got Jade through the exhausting times of infancy and toddlerhood, Jewel felt she finally deserved a shot from the coveted Elixir of Life water cooler. This was definitely not the last nip Jewel took from this cooler! (Well, in all fairness, Kennedy has taken his fair share of shots as well.)


Kennedy gives Jade some lessons on Jewel's Surgical Man. I have no clue what he pulled out of the body there, but it obviously wasn't good. (I kept these lessons going until Jade was almost in bladder desperation, because somehow, the lessons Kennedy was giving her on his podium were still taking effect too, so she was skilling up in both Mechanical and Charisma at the same time!)


Jewel is talking with their maid, Arianna Jalowitz. "I know I had a daughter, but if Jade gives birth to a son, I'd love to have you in the family! Or, at least, sleep with my grandson and give us your genes, even if you don't want to marry into the Strohm family."


Jade is very excited about her first A+. She spent a good 10 minutes outside jumping up and down. (Both Jade and Kennedy were at work and apparently Jade didn't care to share her good news with the nanny.)


"Daddy's home! Daddy's home!" Hmm, think Jade doesn't want the nanny there any more than the rest of us? (For those of you who've noticed, yes, it is a different maid. I had to actually end the services to get the other one to leave when she showed up on a weekend when everyone was home. So Monday morning, they sent over another nanny.)


"Baby, Jade is going to be a teenager soon. Don't you think it's about time we got to work on that second kid? I mean, we haven't even WooHoo'd in a while now!" Jewel managed to put him off for a little while still, although she did break down and give the poor guy a tumble that night.


"Mommy's home! Mommy's home!" Isn't this kid just too cute for words? :-)


And we'll end with a shot of the latest addition to the Strohm household. They finally could afford to buy a roof!
