Chapter 7



The week started with some fairly major house renovations. The second floor was 'finished'. Walls were build and a front porch and foundation. A small hedged in space was added out front, as both Ian and Elli seem to have taken up an interest in gardening suddenly. Also our little family finally got itself a roof. Which really at his point means very little, it's just a lot more appealing then the flat roofless box it was. Some furniture also came in handy when we did our front room, a new bookshelf and a fireplace complete the open welcoming look this space has.  Our office got a face lift as well. Dark woods and red give this room a very focused appearance.



C'Nedra has finally grown up into a young adult, it's time for her to get out into the world and find a job.

Moonbeam also celebrated his rise into the smelly age of teenager. No deaths and no social services, I think we are doing pretty well thus far. Just need to keep those grades up a little longer and maybe even find him someone to love and move out with..or keep him home.

C'Nedra decided to wait out the few days it would take for her Man to also level up -Yes, yes I forgot this townies name, or rather how to spell it, guess it's time for me to start writing things down-

Ellis studio continued to inspire her to churn out masterpieces, well Ian took up watching figure skating. Maybe he is starting to get a little to old for all this body building, but he enjoys it so much.



C'Nedra and Eduardo --Look I wrote his name down-- Decide it is time to get married. A Nice at home ceremony for friends and family. It's a beautiful party and everyone showed up, We even had the best bartender. I've never seen so many drinks in one place.

The music was just lovely, and Tyrion Lannister even showed up to the party, what a nice surprise. I would like to note, that even though a Lannister was present NONE of them sent their regards, which is likely a good thing.


The pair exchanged vows in the middle of the kitchen, amongst friends and family as well as a ghostly pianist, caterers and the awesome bartender. It was a lovely night and so nice to add a new member to the family and guarantee the continuation of the family line...because in the end that is all that really matters.

Stay tuned for next weeks updated, what will the next heir be? Will he or she retain any of the family appearance traits? How will Eduardo do Living with an alien family member, will he even notice?










Chapter 6



Family....Elli finally found that painting she had done so long ago. Or maybe it just feels long ago, so much had happened.

Ian continued his visits to the basement gym..I really think that's the next part of the house that needs an upgrade. It's just to dark and unfinished, how can he enjoy working out in such a dismal space?

Elli continued to churn out masterpieces in her home studio. She is almost at the top of the Painter career, but it has been slow going. Even with all of the money made from home she seems to be having a hard time obtaining those promotions.

Maybe if her mine was on work more often then her children, and home renovations.




C'Nedra skill in cooking continued to grow, even as Moonbeams grades climbed. Brother and sister both seemed to be overachievers...or maybe they just don't like getting yelled at for failing school. It's so much nicer to be praised for your hard work.

We realy shouldn't forget C'Nedra's blooming romance with one of her fellow Teen townies. They appear to get along rather well.


Elli celebrated another birthday this week. Welcome to Adulthood, no turning back now. Time to finish off those last few promotions and stock up some retirement funds and a little nest-egg for the family.

On second look, the man in this picture...he really appears to be doing something inappropriate, or maybe that's just my mind in the gutter.

Even Moonbeam and the other guest are giving him a wondering looks though.

C'Nedra went on her first date. The two really appear to have hit it off, snuggling up well at the museum. Before the date ended they even promised themselves to one another, isn't that sweet?


That's all for this weeks episode of the Fandrangle Family Legacy. What will next week bring? Likely more ageing and skill grinding -insertsarcasmhere-

PS. Some of the finished rooms seen in the Fandrangle house story -and some that will be viewed in the next chapter- can now be found in the Gallery under #FandrangleLegacy.

Chapter 5




What a busy week. 

Ian's pregnancy continued along smoothly. He ate constantly! The family almost feared twins in the making. His mood was all over the place, but mostly he seemed sulky as his buff form gave way to....well a much more rounded appearance.



Elli continued to create masterpieces. She even managed to get a picture of Ian and C'Nedra painted during her down time.

Ian rushed to the hospital, and needless to say had a much better experience then Elli had. 

Introducing our new bundle of joy:

Moonbeam Fandrangle
          Baby boy

Born to
     Ian Fandrangle
     Unknown



  Elli was ecstatic to have a new baby in the house. She mooned over the family's new edition, cuddling and feeding the small purple bundle.  

A quick trip to the art museum has Elli recharged for the work week...and let's her catch up on some socialising-----You will notice I am poor at this part, it seems far less important in 4-----How inspiring.


Moonbeam celebrated his first birthday and aged up into a child. Look at that smile, how can you not love this kid? 

Just as quickly as Moonbeam aged up so did C'Nedra. The family celebrated her birthday with a little social gathering, inviting a few playground friends as well as some other townies they had met in their travels. 



Family breakfast is always a nice occasion.

C'nedra and Moonbeam spend quality time together in the kitchen after cleaning up breakfast. 


Being a teen is hard so I decided C'Nedra needed a bit of a face lift...or at least some make-up and a haircut. 

Yup, I think it helped tremendously. I have yet to touch her wardrobe, but I think the new hair and a bit of make-up really did wonders for her dark eye circles.


Here she is, the first heir to the Fandrangle Legacy. She has her mother's eyes and body paired with her father's lips and hair colour.


Now it's time to get out!

The family stopped by the park first, Ian played a game of chess, well C'Nedra grilled up some tropical fruits..smells delicious.


Moonbeam found a few playmates at the playground and enjoyed some time sliding and playing Pirates.

Meanwhile Ian ran off to...jump in some trash???

Well, that's a new one..I suppose sometimes you just have to jump around in the tipped over trash.

After the park the family took off to the gym. Moonbeam finally decided to wear a disguise well Ian mentored C'Nedra in the art of lifting. 

All in all it was a pretty successful day out. The family enjoyed some quality bonding time as well as a bit of social life with the townies. Even though Moonbeam disconcerted a few.

The disguise really seemed to help.

The family returned home after a long day just in time for C'Nedra to make a delicious dinner..although Elli opted for cake instead.

Just before bed Ian drank his youth potion, giving  him a few more much needed days of adulthood.



To end the week C'Nedra hosted a small dinner party for friends and family. 

The food was a big hit!






Obviously the few furnished rooms were making it a little hard to function as a family of four. This week they added a small tv/sitting room, completed with chess set. 

C'Nedra's bathroom was completed in an array of pink and white plumbing, with matching walls and tiled floor. A half bath was added to the main level of the house as well. 

The basement is still unfinished..but a lovely exterior sitting area was added to the yard. Parts of the second floor were also added, namely a room for Moonbeam and Ian and Elli moved from the sitting room to the master bedroom on the main floor.

Stay tuned for the next chapter in the Fandragle Legacy story....What could the next chapter hold for our happy family?








Chapter 4


Well week four started off with some serious housing renovations. After demolishing the original box Elli and Ian sketched out a quick floor plan. It's larger then really necessary, but they wanted something that would grow with the family. Something with an open feeling, and enough room to host a party or just have friends over for dinner. Walls walls and more walls!

Of course the first room to be completed was the bathroom. All new plumbing and fixtures well keeping the same ocean coloured tiles.




 Elli continued to paint, which seems to bring in the big bucks. Those masterpieces are a god sent. 






Her art studio was the next completed room, it seemed fitting to have a nice open space for her craft. A few windows for natural lighting and some inspiration art on the walls.

Ian even helped to rig up some spot lights so a bench could be added in to paint pictures of the family. Wouldn't it be nice to have some images of the family on the walls?






Ian continued his work as a body builder, beefing up more with each passing day. He even managed to find time to get to the gym between work and family time.

Look at those beefy thighs? The man is built like a house.























Family time seem's to be an important part of the Fandrangle legacy. They try to have two sit down meals every day, although the timing doesn't ALWAYS work out. More often then not they get to connect at breakfast.

Look at them, aren't they just a sweet little family? 

C'Nedra has even started helping around the house, clearing the dishes after dinner and even washing them.  She's growing up to be such a helpful child, what more could a parent ask for?






How about an updated kitchen? 
They stuck with the same colour scheme for the new kitchen, but added a little island as well as some new appliances. 

A table with a full set of chairs for those previously mentioned party's...or a new family member.

As it turned out Ians latest run in with an alien space craft and all that probing that goes along with it. Either he has baby's on the brain or our father has once more bin impregnated.







As it turns out it was the later. He is almost glowing as he tells C'Nedra the big news. Luckily Elli is all on board for a second child, even if it's not one of her own. 













 Stay tuned for next weeks episode..Alien birthing and more housing renovations. What else could be in store for our little family?
