The Elcone family has moved, from their remodeled and expanded Streamlet Single, to Garden Essence, still in the Foundry Cove area. Yes, this is the same house Liberty lived in before she married, and it looks rather poor and barren compared to how it was furnished when she lived there. Travis and Summer have both passed on, and Liberty really didn't want to come back, but they couldn't afford anything in the next better neighborhood. The one positive is that there is room for expansion.
Liberty didn't like working as dishwasher in a restaurant. She's been cooking for her own family for years and is approaching culinary mastery out of necessity, not because she likes it or anything about the restaurant business. She doesn't like starting over as a green Astronaut, either, but with her expertise in Logic, she is thinking about Scientist for her next career change. The prospect of all the harvestables from the neighborhood garden close by and all the research that could be done with the microscope and observatory that her children have promised to`buy for her was the only thing that made the move bearable.
Xzavier likes his job in Computer Programming and is approaching the upper tier and a respectable income. In spite of his Renaissance Sim aspiration, he is in no hurry to change careers. Hibbert just graduated from High School and is eagerly anticipating his first job as a Palette Cleaner, although he was overqualified for that job well before he finished Elementary School. Elora has started High School, but still feels excessively confined and restricted to home, and is thinking about starting a club. Her mother put her foot down when Elora wanted a part-time job too, and has decreed that she can either run a club or have a part time job, not both, until she graduates.
Now that Liberty no longer has to chase toddlers, she wants to get out and exercise more and trim down a bit. Elora could stand to lose some weight, too. So could Xzavier, although he claims to be big-boned and that it wouldn't make much difference. Hibbert still looks slim and trim, but with the family diet and limited exercise, that may not last long.

Poor Liberty seems so unhappy. I think if being a scientist is what she wants, she should do it. Such a hard life Liberty has. I am glad she has the kids to help her cope.

Lol well it seems when parents are overweight kids get the same malady. Not always of course. If they want to lose weight, exercising is important of course, but cutting the calories is important too. Liberty being so good at cooking can make healthier lower cal dishes which should help.

If Xzavier is doing well in his career and is happy, I would say take your time Xzavier and enjoy life. It is all too short, so might as well love what you do.

Elora should start a club. If being at school she still feels restricted socially, I fear a job might not help as much as a club. Good for Liberty in showing common sense and not letting Elora do too much which could hurt her education.
