Ah. It wasn't summer yet but occasionally it was hot out and Gardenia started really enjoying it as the last time the weather was hot, she was busy saving this town.

After the sunset she chatted with Todd as he was gardening.
When Todd wasn't gardening or hanging out with friends, he was working out. And he worked out a lot!
Gardenia gave him a sports massage. Um... it was a little bone cracking.
One morning before school, Todd tried to get even more working out in. And to combine it with hanging out with friends, he dragged his friend Kylli to the gym with himself. Yeah she had grown too.
Gardenia had come along with the two. She ran into Jacklyn at the gym. Had a lovely catch up.

After Todd and Kylli had left for school, Gardenia went home. She had been alone for quite some time now. As in without a man. She called someone up though.
Micah Carlson. He was a trainer at a gym. She had met him a while back when Jerry was still alive and they had gone to the gym all together. Gardenia just wanted a little companionship. There was a little flirt too. And before you know it...
Yes, she accepted. She wasn't looking for a new boyfriend or anything, just wanted some attention.
She thought this was gonna be it but they actually got along quite well afterwards too.

Todd had his girls too. A friend of his, Karen Strauss. And he did something right too as he got himself a great reputation!
Kylli came over too. The trio hung out together and goofed off. Karen had to leave soon. Todd and Kylli went swinging together.
Ahh! What a lovely sunset with the warm breeze whooshing around them as they swung.

Now, onto the new members of the household.
Little Villem was going places.
Having a party in his den.
The rat was good.

Sarah was still a kid.

And Todd too.
Auntie April got a phone call from his school and had to answer for him. His intentions were good but he was still a kid and had to do what he was told.

April herself was mostly out of the house. Either working or spending time with this guy - Thomas. He had become an elder in the meantime too.
Their first kiss.

Some time later, they became officially a couple.
And even later...
April was pregnant!
Oop! Smile first, gag later.
Well she was hardly at home anyway so she went where she mostly was, with Thomas. The two moved in together to have a family of their own.
