ULTIMATE DECADES CHALLENGE -1309 - FRI - ISABELLE'S NEEDLEWORK - WEEK 6 - DAY 41 - UPDATED DEC 7

Over the next few days, William and Francesca had some family members visit.

Ian visits early in the morning on his way to Finchwick and spends a bit of time with his grandchildren. Conrad is the last one he says good bye to.

Later in the evening, Reginald also came by, and was introduced to Conrad and his new niece, Desirae.

And I guess Conrad smiled at him a lot, because Reginald got this sentiment.

Thaddeus and Isabelle both came for a visit, and Isabelle informed Francesca that she is expecting.

Francesca introduced Desirae to Thaddeus.

And Thaddeus gives his nephew, Benedict, some hugs.

Oh no! Is something wrong with Isabelle? She seems to be having an emotional moment. Probably just her hormones acting up.

Or perhaps Isabelle is not well, or something had happened between Isabelle and Bryan. Francesca hoped that her sister would not go into labor during her visit.

It's raining and William cleans Buttercup's stall. He had discovered that horse manure makes great fertilizer for his garden plants.

When they had been at the Finchwick Cow Festival, Francesca had seen a notice at the Gnome's Arms Pub of a horse competition being held this week. Since she was not expecting, and after talking it over with William, she decided to enter. William was concerned with the weather and hoped that Francesca would be alright.

After a few hours, Francesca returned beaming with a trophy in hand. She had won a silver medal at the barrel races.

William was so proud of her, and placed the award on the wall in their bedroom.

Later that night, there was a knock on the door, and one of the knights from the Knight's Stronghold was there. Sir InVain was delivering a special message from King Edward.

They had both been invited to a knighting ceremony this coming Sunday.

When the knight departed, William opened the letter and read that his own brother, Reginald, would be one of those being knighted that day.

Oh my gosh! It had finally happened! His brother, Reginald was becoming a knight!

And it was time for some birthdays.

William holds Conrad one last time as an infant, because today Conrad was becoming a toddler.

And here is Conrad in CAS. He rolled the Inquisitive trait.

Francesca lifted Desirae from her cradle. Desirae had grown so much, and Francesca was having a hard time knowing that her youngest child would be aging up to an Infant today.

And here is Desirae in CAS as an Infant. She rolled the Intense trait.

Thaddeus was giving Leopold some cuddles after Isabelle had fed him, and Leopold let out a soft burp. Leopold had gotten so big and today he was aging up to a toddler.

And here he is in CAS as an adorable toddler. Leopold rolled the Angelic trait. I love this hairstyle on him.
