Aren has been busy at work trying to move up in his career. The police department promised him a huge raise if he went to China and learned martial arts. I was thrilled at the offer because I could do some exploring while he worked on his skills.

As soon as I got off the plane, I had people asking me if I was the Neverland’s grandchild. We were famous around these parts. I was instantly put on a search of special stones. There was a memorial service going on for a famous painter, and I was chosen to find the stones to build his monument with.

Back at home, special Katelynn was turning five and starting kindergarten.

Since she had mastered the logic blocks as a toddler, she was already ahead on her logic skill and jumped right into chess. We made sure to get her into the chess team at school. This is where it all began. I still swore she would do something special with these skills one day.

I was racking in the money now. I could paint a huge painting in one day, and I was making around 400 off each piece. I had signed with a great company.

My step-father, Khaled, after living 101 years has passed away. We will miss him dearly. He was a great grandfather to the kids, but he can join his wife in heaven now.

A funeral was held in honor of the wonderful Khaled, and I mourned for days after his death. I knew I had to pull it together, and I did soon enough.

Emmie suffered a bad fall off of the trampoline, and we couldn’t help but laugh at him. He had no injuries, but the fall was hilarious. I think it was the first time I laughed in the week after Khaled died.

My boss asked me to paint a picture of ninjas for a kid in Twins Brook and it turned out great. I made 800 off that one.

Stan and Bri’s birthday fell around the same time, so we had a double swimming birthday party. I was so excited to see Stan start highschool.

The children have aged up great. Aren and I are going to have a hard time deciding who should be heir.
