Our cat, and Mum’s ‘first born’, Stark, passed away. He was pretty old, but we all loved him. He was such a big part of the family, too. Mum’s so torn up.

I don’t know if Gala and I will be getting any pets… it’ll be hard for any pet to live up to Stark.

Everyone was just going about their daily chores and routines, when…

Gala helped Mum and I out in the garden today. Since my main profession will be looking after the house’s garden (and hopefully adding my own personal touch to it!) Gala thought she should learn the basics so she could help me out, just as Dad did for Mum in their day.

Gala and I spent today brushing up on our skills. I want to make sure I can repair any item in the house - you never know when it will come in handy and will save us money.

As for Gala, she wants to become as brilliant at cooking as Mum!

I did it. I finally popped the question to Gala. She said yes.

Gala and I spent some time alone tonight. I made some salad (my cooking skills are sadly limited…) and we got on our warmest clothes and did some stargazing on the front lawn.

I think the both of us are considering the prospect of marriage, but we’re both too shy to say anything about it just yet. After all, we just moved in together! I might have a word or two to Mum and ask her what she thinks.

I am certain that Gala is the one for me. I just have to get up my nerve!

We all love the new home renovations. Gala told me they were just perfect. As for Mum, she’s been loving the larger and more open kitchen. We all still have a place to gather and eat, and catch up, which is what we all wanted.

We have a lot of new things, but we still kept most of what we began with… things that were special to us.

After a long few weeks of renovating, it’s finally the day! Gala moves in with the Scoop family - with ME!

We haven’t finished the exterior of the house yet, but it only needs a few coats of paint. The rest of the house, however, is completely transformed!…

Stark has taking a liking to Dad all of a sudden. The two had never been close, but I think as they are both getting on in age, they’ve come to an understanding.

As for me, I’ve learnt to appreciate the little guy a lot more lately. He’s been a part of this family for longer than I have!

Apple Blossom graduated today. Like our eldest sister Raspberry, Apple Blossom also won class Valedictorian. None of us were surprised!

Mum was a little worried, however, when her third child won the ‘Most Likely to Take Over the World’ award. Apple Blossom got a little peeved when Mum decided to lecture her upon her departure.

I asked her to be careful a little more subtly. My words went over a little better.

Now it’s just the six of us! Until Gala moves in, of course.

It was Apple Blossom’s birthday today. My younger sister finally became an adult! She gained the Eccentric trait, which made her even more kooky! She also decided to ditch the messy crop cut and go back to her long hair!

The true middle child of the family, she was more than eager to get packing for her big move tomorrow…
