I guess it's time for another mass update post. We really apologize once again for the lack of communication. As we know Evie and Alex have just been enjoying a mostly peaceful life as newlyweds and as parents of a rapidly growing baby who takes center stage in their lives. Their delightful narrator has been too busy to keep up with them anyway. Apparently summer is busy season in home improvement (who knew! LOL, JK. Of course nobody wants to renovate or anything in the Canadian winter) but Fall is pretty much here so we (I) should be around more now. But for now, let's check in on how they've been doing the last few months.
We left the newlyweds in Champs Les Sims, France. Though they were about to leave for Al Simhara, Egypt after extending their honeymoon (which was more of a family vacation as they took the baby with them). Well, they had a blast in Egypt, though because of unsatisfactory accommodations (there was nowhere for Lucas and there was definitely nowhere to leave him while the explored) and even more dangerous tombs than they encountered in France (so they couldn't take him with them), they sent Lucas home to stay with his Auntie Mae for a bit (he survived, don't worry!), having her meet them at the airport in France before they left. They also made it a shorter trip than they would have liked so they could get home to their baby faster. Which meant the dropped their quests that meant returning to France to check in, and just explored on their own.
(Apparently we lost half their travel pictures. But, whatever)
Don't worry, nobody died, or even got seriously burned! But they'll probably remember to take the "tomb of fire" thing more seriously next time. Though this is precisely why they didn't bring Lucas, this place is not safe for that little angel.
Speaking of the baby (writing of the baby?)... can you believe he turned 1 a couple months ago?! How is my baby growing up so much! Stop it, Lucas, stay cute and tiny and innocent forever, please!
He's starting to walk and talk. He's even really take to the xylophone, like I thought by this point he'd be crawling all over and getting into EVERYTHING and his parents wouldn't be able to keep up. But if left to his own devices he'll just go play xylophone. He even gets lots of help from mom, I think we have a young prodigy in the making here.

Evie and Alex have also been remodeling the nursery, why I don't know, because they could, I guess (totally not because the whole thing got lost way back last year when my old computer died...*cough*). They did scrap the creepy owl wallpaper though, I mean it's cute but Lucas didn't like them all staring at him.
And the family has a new member. A VERY furry one. Petunia the dog. She was a stray wandering behind the karaoke bar late at night. A poor sickly looking thing too, so Evie and Alex rescued her and she's now a very healthy and happy dog and a treasured family member.
Oh yeah, Evie's started to pick up a few performances around town again. Last we heard she was working on an album with Julianne, and her brother Nolan a bit as well. But other than that she hadn't really been very active in the music scene. But she was starting to get restless not doing much, it's not Evie's style to not be going full steam ahead. Mostly she just performs at the karaoke bar, simple and relaxed.
Though, as the album release approaches, she's been taking more big gigs. At the warehouse turned club, and even the Hoi Polloi event center. And those performances are always with Julianne and Nolan as well, since it's promoting *their* album. Gotta admit, they all look fantastic together, and sound just as great as they look.
And as the album nears completion the talks of a tour have been getting much more serious. And Evie has discovered the one downfall to a booming music career now that's she's married and has a child. How is she possibly going to leave her family for so long?
But enough about that. Alex's career is going pretty well too. If you remember way back, roughly a year ago, he was trying to get on the Moonlight Falls hockey team? But he didn't make the cut and they told him to try again next year. Well, it's next year and he tried again. And he made it!
He hasn't played any real games yet (soon, though), but he's been practicing almost non-stop for the last little bit and pretty much lives in his jersey now.
(Unfortunately I've been banned from watching practices. By Alex. For being too embarrassing. I call it supportive. But, whatever. No proud parent pictures of my baby looking snazzy and killing it on the ice. :'( )

And, of course, he'll now be on the road a lot as well. Why can't they all be home games?
How are they going to raise Lucas with both of them on the road so much? Fight over who he travels with? Leave him home? But who will look after him? Because the rest of the family is a hot mess right now (I could do a whole update on their issues...) and I don't see Evie and Alex leaving their innocent little baby with people who don't seem very stable and sane at the moment.

Well anyway, before we get too much into anything sad or stressful. I think we'll say goodbye for now. We'll ruin the mood later (...just kidding, I hope). We'll leave with some bonus pictures though from the last few months. :D Pictures that I liked but never had much of a use for or whatever. Just because I want to spam you guys for being away so long (like normally I'd spam on tumblr a lot or something, but I haven't even done that, so here we go).
(oh yeah, Evie and Alex went to Isla Paradiso for the 2nd anniversary of when they met and started dating ♥)
(hehe, I dunno why I never let the karaoke together before. Alex isn't very good lol, that's probably why, I was too scared to find out. He sure was having a blast up there though)
(the day Lucas learned to play a funeral march on xylophone, because Evie would kill Alex if she knew he tried teaching the kid music lol)
(and possibly my all time favourite picture, everybody all tuckered out after a family outing. Sure makes for a cute family portrait).
