The Lewis Family Undercover Specialists: Generation One
http://s1107.photobucket.com/user/silverday1/library/Antoinette%20Lewis
Chapter Two: Moving Back to Earth
Well welcome back to the Lewis family where Antoinette is working undercover in the ‘evil’ division of the Criminal Corporation where she is working her way to the top in order to bring the Boss of the crime ring who had killed her parents when she was a young teenager. Antoinette is actually part of a special crime fighting task force where it’s agents go undercover in various job and careers and work their way to the top in order to bring the bosses of major crime and drug rings around Simland in an effort to put an end to the unnecessary bloodshed of innocent victims and in the process avenge her parents’ murder. This courageous woman hopes to raise her children to follow in her footsteps and work undercover in various careers to catch the leaders of these crime rings.
While working in the Criminal Corporation in the space town or Lunar Lakes she uncovered some information that indicated that the crime boss she was looking for had recently been transferred to Starlight Shores. It just so happened that a few days later an internal job posting came up for a con artist position with the Starlight Black Market of the city’s crime syndicate. Antoinette applied for the position and after many internal interviews was on her way to Starlight Shores to begin her new life as a con artist. After packing clothing and necessities and selling their home, Antoinette and her sons boarded the SimVoyager for their trip back to earth and then flew out Starlight Shores where one of the local real estate agents helped the family find an affordable new home.
Now that the family has been in Starlight Shores for several Sim years which translates into six months of real life time, let’s check out the family album where their activities and adventures are documented.

The Steelwoods: Faithful Pioneers, Generation Two
A New Challenge: Journey to Love
Welcome to the quaint, colorful Russian town of Aurora Skies where visitors can take in the breath-taking views of three gorgeous waterfalls, bright, colored houses, and various areas to picnic after catching fish in the ocean or one of the many fishing lakes our town has to offer. My name was Sharica Steelwood, well my first name is the same but now that I’m married to the most wonderful man in the world (All wives are suppose to say that.) I’ve decided to take my husband, Viktor’s last name which is Valquist. Before I lose everyone completely, let me tell you how true love came to be.
As you know, I grew up in the beautiful country island town of Winchester which is just off the coast of Simland in the Simlish Channel where my parents, Zack and Monika Steelwood set out to build our homestead from scratch and live as the early pioneers did who first settled the land many centuries ago. Life was grand living in the one-room house, sleeping under the stars most nights and in the winter we built igloos to sleep in. Dad loved to paint while Mom earned a living fishing while attempting to become what they call an ark builder and own two of every little creature and pets by the time her life on earth was over while maintain the faithful heritage that Mom’s ancestors, the Steel family, handed down throughout the ages. Far too often though plans rarely turn out as we planned due to unforseen circumstances like the forces of Mother Nature when our little island was heavily damaged by a huge hurricane which also took the lives of my parents when it destroyed our little home in the process. My sister, Marika and I survived because we were in school at the time and thank goodness the town officials had our school built underground in case the island was hit by a massive storm.
Once we picked up the pieces, Marika decided to live one of her school friends and finish her education before decided her life’s direction. I, on the other hand decided to move to the mainland and continue my painting there and try to rebuild our little homestead, pioneer style as my parents had done. While online looking for a new place to live, I found a beautiful town with waterfalls, mountains, and a mixture of farmland and small town life by the name of Aurora Skies and just fell in love with the place and had to live there. Upon my arrival in the town, one of the local real estate agents helped me find a nice large lot upon which start rebuilding the Steelwood homestead. By that though, pioneer living just didn’t have the same appeal for me but didn’t have enough money for anything better.
After spending the summer and part of the fall on my large lot with a little house and my loving dog, Treble and cat, Suzie, I was getting lonesome for human companionship. Each day I would go out to paint, fish, or even find special rocks to sell to the science center to earn extra money. It wasn’t too long before I met Viktor Valquist and we quickly became friends. One day he invited me to a party at his house to meet some of his friends including his adoptive daughter, Linn and roommate, Jesper Sandstrom who would soon move in with his romantic interest. While attending his party, Viktor surprised me by asking me to move in with him and since I was getting tired of being alone (not to mention that I was falling head-over-heals in love with Viktor), I agreed. It wasn’t long before Viktor proposed to me and we moved to a new house with a larger lot for my pets after we had a local contractor add an upstairs with a nursery and two bedrooms.
Now please sit back and relax while I show you some pictures from my first year living in Aurora Falls.
Your friend,
Sharica Valquist (nee, Steelwood)

http://s1107.beta.photobucket.com/user/silverday1/library/Zack%20and%20Monika
Hello Friends,
We hope that all of our friends in real life and around Simland are doing well and have had lots of fun since our first family newsletter went out almost a Sim year ago. My wonderful husband, Zack joins me (Monika) along with our lovely two daughters, Sharica and Marika send our best wishes to all of our friends. To those of you who are feeling under the weather we hope that you feel better real soon and remember that spring is only a month away in the real world and before you know it the birds will be chirping, the snow will melt (hopefully sooner not later), spring flowers will start blooming and the frogs will welcome spring with their beautiful nighttime choruses. Now that you’re all dreaming about spring, it’s time for me to share with you all of the family news and excitement during our second Sim year of living on the lovely island of Winchester working to build our homestead one generation at a time. Just let me drag out the family photo album and share our lives and memories with our pictures from the past year.
Summer Fun
This is me, Monika who is an angler by trade catching some fish to sell to the supermarket so that we can pay our bills. The fish tend to bite better at night so that’s when I usually go fishing.
This is our eldest daughter, Sharica who is just getting ready to start high school. Sharica has decided that she wants to be an animal rescuer someday and adopt at least six homeless pets.
Here I am greeting the newest addition our household and my bid to become an ark builder. This little cutie’s name is Elijah who is a purebred Norwegian Forest.
Elijah settled right in and here he is running around.
Fishing at one of the many local fishing holes.
Caught a perfect little minnow.
This is Storm the first bird I caught for my ‘ark’. He is a beautiful Catalina Macaw.
Sharica takes after her father and loves to paint in her spare time and since graduating from high school has joined the painter’s career. We’ll have more on that later.

As you can see Zack and I are still very much in love and have since earned the ‘eternally faithful’ reputation in our community.
As an animal lover, I love taking the time to play with all of our pets. Zack is playing tug-of-war with Sassy in the background.

This is a beautiful stray cat that Zack and I adopted after she showed up in our yard. We named her Bobbin.
This ‘Lady in Red’ was painted by Zack and valued at 800 Simeoleons. Zack had been commissioned by a merchant in China for one of his paintings and since their was a seat sale on he decided to deliver this one and the merchant paid him 4X its worth (over 3200 Simoleons)

Zack’s trip to China to deliver his painting. He also helped a local retrieve an ancient relic. The loving husband that he is, Zack also caught a Yellow Python for me while he was away.
Zack wanted to become a seasoned traveler but unfortunately family funds did not allow it. Hopefully he’ll be able to return to China to earn his first Visa level at some point.
I was on an outing with a local at the beach and couldn’t resist swimming in the ocean. Please do not do this at home.

Here is a parting shot of an alien dressed in civilian clothes who came down to earth for a visit.
Well I hope that you’ve all enjoyed our family newsletter and now that Zack and I are getting up in years we will be handing the family pen to Sharica as she continue building the family homestead in the next generation. Even though I haven’t accomplished my goal of becoming an Ark builder, I have come pretty close and happy with the animals who have joined our household over the years and have also had the joy of reaching level six in my fishing career. Zack has become a well-know painter in the area and if he’s spared long enough, he hopes to reach the top of his painting career but is happy that he has mastered the skill.
Until next time remember to always have fun no matter your status in life.

The Realistic Genealogy Challenge : Generation Two
http://s1107.beta.photobucket.com/user/silverday1/library/Franca%20and%20Howard
Chapter One: A New Place to Call Home
Prologue: This legacy challenge began with Bianca Lawson who met and married her husband, Gerard Giquel who was originally from France. They met while Bianca was in Egypt on assignment and fell in love at first sight. During their happy marriage, the happy couple were blessed with two daughters, Franca and Vianca. After graduation Franca married her high school sweetheart, Howard Radford who had been turned into a werewolf on his young adult birthday. Since Vianca never married and has since moved out on her own with her former imaginary friend, Vanna, the family pen has been past down to Franca to carry on the family’s genealogy challenge. So without further adieu let’s take a little trip to Positano, Italy and see how Howard and Franca spent their first year raising their little family.
An Italian Summer
This is the main floor of the Radford’s new home in Positano. Franca is meeting one of her neighbors who came to welcome them.
The upstairs with a family room, three bedrooms and a bathroom. The bedroom next to the bathroom has since been decorated in greens for their daughter, Francesca.
The exterior done in Franca’s favorite color, red.
Howard is teaching his little werewolf son, Richard to walk.
Franca is an author and here she is working on one of her books. Both Howard and Franca want to become famous authors.
Little Richard showing his werewolf tendancies at a young age. He seemed to have something against the planters as Franca ended up replacing one of them.
Richard did take some time out to play with the xylophone, though.
Howard giving the family’s Chihuahua, Chico a bath.
Richard was quite a destructive little toddler.
His father tried to get him to stop but little Richard ignored him and kept on scratching.
Howard decided to carry Richard for awhile.
Chico guarding his food.
Little Richard playing with the special doll his grandmother gave him when he was born.
Howard eating werewolf style. ( Might make a good birthday party game but you would need lots of napkins)
Richard in his high chair.
Some town summer views.
Howard working on one of his novels. He also works part-time at the grocery store.
The first zombie to show up on their patio.
A nice father and son photo.

Looks like Smokey is dreaming about catching butterflies.
Richard’s first transformation into his werewolf form.
Franca complimented Richard’s fur.
Guess Richard got his plant destroying tendancies from his father.
Werewolves just can’t control themselves no matter where they are. This is above the grocery store where Howard works.
Richard holding his daughter who is not a werewolf.
Richard took a trip to China to deliver one of his books to a local merchant. While he was there, Richard helped this local retrieve an ancient relic from the Halls of the Lost Army.
Richard had to jump on the floor switch a couple of times to get it to work.
Howard delivered his book to Sima and learned a local song from her.
Back home, Franca is giving some candy to a trick or treater.

This skeleton is more to Howard’s liking.
Snowstorm in Positano
A funny way to eat a hotdog.
Francesca playing with her brother’s doll. She didn’t get one when she was born.

Introducing baby Edward, Howard and Franca’s third child.

Dawning of Spring
Howard went on an outing with a local and after chatting for awhile he started exploring space and started learning the logic skill.

Even ghost dogs get hungry like Chico, here.
Howard feeding little Edward.
Franca on a date with a friend. Since Franca and Howard are eternally faithful, their dates are just an outing with a friend.
Pompei waking up Francesca.
Franca working on her last book for this update. It’s a mystery called, “To Mock a Killing Bird” (second cousin to “To Kill a Mockingbird”, perhaps) This novel earned her the most in royalties at over 1000 Simoleons/week.
Here is Edward as a toddler. He was born human.
Franca reading a bedtime story to Francesca.

Richard as a young adult. He decided that he wants to be leader of the pack but hasn’t chosen his career, yet.
Francesca is now a teenager. She didn’t do so well in school so she aged up with the ‘Equestrian’ trait.
Young Edward mastered playing the xylophone.
This is ghost Smokey Cat.
