Dear Diary,

12-26-19_3-27-23 PM.png

Being a father is wonderful.  I just adore Arthur.

12-26-19_3-31-45 PM.png

Mom came to visit and met her new grandson.  She has really embraced the hermit lifestyle.  Morgan’s brother Arturo also came by to meet his nephew.

12-26-19_3-42-10 PM.png

I have taken a break from writing to work on my programming and video gaming skills.  I really want to earn another promotion.

12-26-19_3-44-39 PM.png

A few months after Arthur was born we learned that Adrianna (Kevin’s girlfriend) had given birth to a baby girl named Deanna.

Dear diary,

I have started to focus more on my writing.

12-26-19_4-21-13 PM.png

I am pleased to say I finished my second book.

12-26-19_4-29-33 PM.png

Morgan is a wonderful mother.

12-26-19_4-28-06 PM.png

I adore Arthur but he is a VERY fussy baby.

12-26-19_4-39-09 PM.png

I decided Morgan and I needed a night out.  I hired a sitter and we took a trip to the city.

12-26-19_4-46-32 PM.png

We sang karaoke together and ended up having a gold level date.  Morgan needs to go on dates to complete the soulmate aspiration.

12-26-19_7-40-49 PM.png

I am now at level 5 in the writing skill.

12-26-19_7-44-02 PM.png

I also managed to publish my third book.

12-26-19_7-53-05 PM.png

I have also reached level 8 in the computer programming skill.

12-26-19_7-58-07 PM.png

As well as level 3 in parenting.

12-26-19_8-03-08 PM.png

Morgan earned her second promotion and is now a caterer.

12-26-19_8-27-41 PM.png

All too soon it was Arthur’s birthday.  He is an adorable toddler with the charmer trait.

12-26-19_8-38-09 PM.png

To celebrate we had a big party and invited all of Morgan’s family as well as my mom and dad.

12-26-19_8-38-26 PM.png

I was thrilled mom could come.  Unfortunately, she couldn’t convince dad to leave the deep woods.

12-26-19_8-40-25 PM.png

Arthur was equally thrilled to see his grandma.

12-26-19_8-46-30 PM.png

I captured some adorable photos of the two of them.

12-26-19_8-55-20 PM.png

By the time the party guests left Arthur was exhausted so I took him to bed and tucked him in.

Dear diary,

12-26-19_9-22-25 PM.png

Arthur is such a smart little boy.  The morning after his birthday he got up and started working on his communication skill by talking to my old bear Blarffy.

12-26-19_9-23-38 PM.png

He spent the morning alternating between hugging and babbling/talking to Blarffy.

12-26-19_9-26-53 PM.png

It wasn’t long before Arthur had reached level four in the communication skill.

12-26-19_9-29-05 PM.png

Followed closely by reaching level 5.

12-26-19_9-30-33 PM.png

Meanwhile Morgan reached level four in the gardening skill.

12-26-19_9-35-18 PM.png

Having already maxed out his communication skills, Arthur went outside to play on the toddler slide.

12-26-19_9-35-23 PM.png

He ended up going down a little to fast though the first time and got scared.

12-26-19_9-35-51 PM.png

I came home from work and earned another promotion.  I am now a Development Captain.

12-26-19_9-44-53 PM.png

Later that night I reached level 6 in the video gaming skill.  We also learned that Arturo and Monica are expecting their second child.

12-26-19_10-01-05 PM.png

Arthur is such an amazing little boy.  He loves to dance and is such a joy to be around.  He really is a charmer.

12-26-19_11-20-47 PM.png

I am often busy writing and working on building skills but each day I try to spend a few hours playing with him.

12-26-19_4-02-05 PM

Dear diary,

12-26-19_11-31-55 PM.png

Today I received some sad news.  My father Derrick Longo died.

12-26-19_11-36-14 PM.png

I didn’t know him very well but I am still heartbroken.

12-26-19_11-37-56 PM.png

I channeled my emotions and used them to start writing a sad book.

12-26-19_11-46-00 PM.png

Mom came to visit and spent time with Arthur.  I think being around her grandson is helping with her grief over dad’s death.

12-26-19_11-56-20 PM.png

Poor little Arthur just can’t get a hang of the slide.

12-27-19_12-01-11 AM.png

He always goes down to fast and gets scared.

12-27-19_12-02-19 AM.png

I make sure to comfort him and tell him everything is going to be okay.

Morgan and I both earned another promotion at work.  I am now “The Next Big Thing” and Morgan is a Mixologist.

12-27-19_12-19-02 AM.png

It was a beautiful summer day so we decided to throw a toddler play date.

12-27-19_12-16-50 AM.png

We invited Arturo’s daughter Carla.

12-27-19_12-17-24 AM.png

And Kevin’s daughter Deanna.  Arthur loved getting to know his cousins.

12-27-19_12-20-49 AM.png

Morgan made hotdogs for the kids.

12-27-19_12-22-59 AM.png

We had a dance party in the living room.

12-27-19_12-29-34 AM.png

And played “space ship”.

12-27-19_12-24-58 AM-2.png

Monica is now in her second trimester.  Perhaps Morgan and I should think about having another baby.

12-27-19_12-30-48 AM.png

The party was a huge success.  We had a gold level party and earned a toddler jungle gym for the back yard.

12-27-19_12-40-38 AM

Dear diary,

I feel like my heart is breaking.

12-27-19_12-36-48 AM.png

Mom came to the toddler play date and afterwards spent the night at our house.  This morning she collapsed and passed away.

12-27-19_12-37-11 AM.png

I found her on the floor next to the grim reaper.  I tried pleading with him but he said it was her time.  At least she is with dad again.

12-27-19_12-40-51 AM.png

I have poured all of my emotions into my writing.  I earned another level in the writing skill.

12-27-19_12-42-48 AM.png

In a bit of happier news we learned that Monica and Arturo had a second baby girl.  Her name is Lana.
