I think I'm nearly done, yea. It's fun to keep building the island up though.

Mack is a lovely baby, but he is also a very demanding one. It's a good thing Pranav is able to spend a lot of time caring for him.

Even in summer storms batter the island chain, though not nearly as bad as the fall and winter storms. Alice is the money maker of the house, her hand carved, ornate furnishings selling for huge amounts of simoleons.

Before they know it, Mack has grown into a toddler and is able to wander about the home. He's a silly little boy and always making his parents laugh.

Not everything is rosy in the household. Pranav decides to ask for Alice's hand in marriage again, but she once more says no. Pranav is too upset to ask her why they can't get married this time, and Alice can't help but be thankful for it. She's not quite sure what the answer should be, she just doesn't feel it's right to marry Pranav, despite how much she loves him.

Little Mack is oblivious to the problems between his parents. Especially when they adopt a little puppy for him. They name the canine Merlin, and before long Mack and Merlin are inseperable.

Besides the hand carved furnishings Alice makes, both her and Pranav are well known for the delicious produce they garden, and the delicate flowers they grow. There's even been some talk about official contracts, but nothing yet has come from that.

Pranav still dabbles in art but he has to admit that he doesn't have the talent for it. Perhaps with a lot of work he could get better, but why put in the effort this late in life when he can be more productive doing other things?

For instance, some of the fish he catches in this region are worth quite a bit of money. Especially since he can now trade the best catches for simoleons to purchase food other than fish.

Even working the flowers they grow into arrangements is a better use of his time, though he isn't quite as profitable as fishing. It is, however, something he can do in the harshest parts of the winter.

Alice is working in the garden when she once again goes into labor. Pranav panics like before, but luckily this time the doctor is actually on the island. Pranav just has to run down to Neeshem's where he's staying to get him.

The doctor has him calmed down before they even get back inside the house, sending Pranav off to tend to Mack while he handles Alice.

Pranav does his best to keep Mack calm and distracted. To be fair, the toddler is much less worried than his father!

In even less time than it took for Mack to be born, they welcome their second son, Wesley Driftwood.

A household with a toddler and a baby is a hectic household, and Alice is chagrined to have her older son sleeping on the floor more often than she likes. Luckily Merlin grows into an adult dog and doesn't require assistance down the stairs any longer.

Jogging is all well and good, but Alice thinks yoga is a better way to get in shape. It doesn't require running all over the island for one, and she's close to the bathtub for a nice soak after her workout for another.

Alex is happy to come over and help out around the house sometimes. Mostly she just does dishes but sometimes she'll watch Wesley for a bit so that Alice and Pranav can focus their attention on Mack for a little while.

Before they know it, little Wesley has grown into an inquisitive toddler. With two toddlers running amok, things seem more hectic than ever.

It gets a little more chaotic when they introduce Honey into their family. It wouldn't be fair for Mack to have a pet and not Wesley, after all!
Alex and Neeshem's houses are done. In Fall I'll have Alice go visit them to get some nice pictures. They aren't extensive but certainly they are better than a shack! During fall/winter I plan to have the third residential lot finished up and pretty up the community lot some. Then I'll be done! Technically I think I've actually already completed the challenge since all four residential lots are built, as well as the community, but I don't like leaving a shack on one of the lots, haha! I want it to all be propery.
