1694

Griffin is ready to move out of the nursery. I invested in some dream catchers so that I could afford to finish his big boy's room. Maybe adopting wasn't such a great idea since we always seem to be broke. I spent all my money and then some to build this huge house, but now I can't afford to fill it with kids like I wanted to. Jo is still harping about our woohoo life. Oh yeah, like THAT really gets me in the mood.





1693

Jo refuses to adopt another child. We've gone round and round on the subject. She argues that we already saved a child from the orphanage and that she wants to have more babies of her own. Even though I do want tons of kids, I'm just not THAT interested in woohoo with her. My friend Titus is a real ladies' man, maybe I'll ask him for some advice.





1691

I'm not sure where we went wrong. We avoided hiring a nanny and made sure that one of us was home at all times with little Maria. And yet, she managed to grow up badly.





1690

We celebrated Griffin's birthday quietly and without much flare. Not like we have a huge family to celebrate with anyway.





1688

Busy year for us. Maria started crawling, we had a baby boy that we named Griffin, and the paperwork finally went through for the adoption of a girl named Carol.





1686

Woohoo!! Jo is pregnant again!




1685

The baby came! We named her Maria. She is absolutely gorgeous. Jo and I have been discussing adoption. Not only the fact that it takes 3 years to have another baby, but I would like to save a child from having the experiences that I had in the orphanage.






1682

After settling some skirmish between a couple of kids diplomatically, I was promoted to Education Minister.






1680

Jo and I got married. We're trying to have a baby right away, but no luck yet. I've decided to change jobs and become a teacher





1679

I was promoted to chief of staff. Life would be perfect if it was accompanied by the pitter patter of little feet in the house. Think I'll go ahead and marry Jo Pratt. She's nice enough, and also has no family to speak of. Hopefully she'll want tons of kids too





1675

Finally finished the house. It's kinda depressing rambling around this huge house by myself. I really need to find a wife. It's really weird, there were a few girls in the dorm that I was attracted to, but now that I've graduated, I'm like ehh.





1671

Dang, Dirk ended up hooking up with his professor. All mine were old and ugly eww. I graduated with honors and bought a huge lot. I'm building a large victorian home on it. Lots of bedrooms. I think I'd like a large family since I grew up not knowing my own. But I've been having trouble finding a wife that I'm really attracted to.





1669

Dirk and I even got into the same dorm. We're on different floors though. I think I'd like to be a doctor one day. I decided to study Biology to prepare for it.





1668

I can't wait to get out of here. Stupid orphanage rules. They won't let us go to college unless we have a best friend going. For years they've been taking the money from my paper route, while I hope upon hope to find a friend that is college bound. Luckily Dirk is headed there next fall and I'll be tagging along.
