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.

It was Stark’s time to go…

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.

"Marzipan, how would you feel if Amaranth and I were to be married?"

"I would absolutely love to have you in our family, Gala!"

Everyone exchanged gifts. I think the best gift, however, was just the whole family being there in our newly renovated house. Everyone welcomed Gala with open arms.

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.

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…

We were just tending to the gardens today (Watermelon has taken a bit of interest in the plants, too!) when Mum got a phone call. Guess what? She had to report to the Town Hall to collect a special services award for all the great produce she’s been supplying the town with!

We couldn’t be more proud of our mum!
