Spooky Day!

Even with a newborn, Kristina and Amanda managed to visit the Spooky Day Festival (by @bunnithechubs!) and have a spooky party!

(Sadly, not long after this, we get the notification that Broderick has passed. The friends didn't know him well enough to know exactly why, but send his family their condolences.)

Airiam is an infant!

A wiggly one, who does not like to be held!

They are definitely cute when asleep (and a handful when not...)

Happy (chaotic) birthday Kristina!

She is now 35 years old! She finds herself very happy, surrounded by friends, a sister, a niece and family-in-law (Sally couldn't come due to Shelby being sick). Kristina loves being a homemaker and looks forward to be a mother of two!

Saru is an infant!

Amanda has had to build on the house, adding a room to the second floor. This will be Saru and his baby sister's room!

End of fall

They bond with and get to know Saru, Kristina is diagnosed with diabetes after her pregnancy and they tend to their garden. Soon time for the shorter days of winter.

It's not a bad life, it's just a lot of it. Shiew still comes by now and then, both Airiam and Saru are growing, Chau is still a tiny dog running around their legs - and then there's all the goats, sheep and chickens to look after too!

Kristina, and Amanda, are understandably exhausted.

(Ans yes, Kristina just got her 35+ makeover! Welcome to adulthood!)

No time for post-birthday- makeovers; it's time to welcome the second baby! However, this time Kristina has to deliver on her own and Amanda stay home with Saru.

And so, Amanda gets to greet baby Airiam as she comes home <3

Amanda was the epitome of support, calm and rationale through the whole process....

Anyway, here he is! Saru Johansson, firstborn of gen 3!

Belly and baby are growing <3

We also get the news that, out of all people, Jim has started dating and is now living with Karen Dobson! Karen has left her sister the fantastic house in Sulani, and moved to live with Jim in Copperdale!

Wishing them all the joy and happiness!
