Adamson Family Tree

Who are these Adamson's anyways?

Family Cemetery

Elizabeth heads back to her own plot in the Adamson Family Cemetery.

Meltdown

Frederick had a Popularity Crisis. After having a really bad day at work, he tried to give Maura a backrub when she really didn't want one. She didn't feel like being appreciated at the moment, which left Frederick feeling unappreciated as well.

He walked away to the side of the house and collapsed in an undignified heap.

Beedle-beedle-beedle

Sometimes all you can manage to do in life is flap your lips.

Maura realized (too late) how her rejection might have appeared to Frederick so she came to apologize.

House Call

Luckily Dr. Simmund Fraud still makes House Calls and came over right away.

Hello?

The first step in Dr. Fraud's course of therapy is determining "Is Anybody In There?"

Always look up

The second step is to tell the patient to "Keep your chin up."

My Work Is Done

After leaving a bill for §10,000, Dr. Fraud says "My work here is done." He then flies off to his next patient.

Although he did leave behind a top-of-the-line self-therapy tool for Frederick to use.

Hello Mr Cup

Frederick starts his self-therapy by intruducing himself to Mr Cup.

Hello, Mr. Cup, my name is Frederick. Will you be my friend?"

Angry Frederick

Frederick doesn't like the lack of response he receives from Mr. Cup.

"Why won't you answer me? Do you know who I am? Do you? I'm the bloody Mayor of this burg! And people like me, doggone it!"

I'm Popular!

"Blast you! I'm Popular! I don't deserve to be ignored by you! Answer me or I'll put a big hurt on you!"

OK, so he's talking to a cup on a pencil. But, at least Fredrick is standing on his own feet again. Perhaps Dr. Fraud's treatment will work after all.

Surprise!

Time passes and Frederick makes a complete recovery.

Now it's time for Giles' surprise birthday party.

Even little Hope is there to help him celebrate.

Giles grows up

Giles has a great birthday party.

Hero Worship

Hope might not understand all that's going on right now, but she doesn't mind. She gets to be near her favorite person.

"Yea! Unca Giles!" She cheers.

A Father's Love

Gregory loves spending time with his little boy, Hank. He doesn't even mind changing his dirty diapers. In fact, he really likes the nice soft baby powder scent of Hank afterwards.

Gregory knows that these times will go by so quickly, so he enjoys making little memories like this one to take with him through life.

Grandpa

Today is Hope's birthday so Grandpa brings her to the cake to start the party.

Unca Giles?

After blowing out the candles with Grandpa, Hope is placed on the floor and everyone starts cheering for her.

At first Hope doesn't know what to do. What was it Unca Giles did when he had his party?

Oh yeah. He stood up, spun around in circles, made lots of pretty lights and then when he stopped spinning he looked at his hands.

Oh Yeah!

Hope did a fine job of remembering how to grow up.

Mommy Calista has promised to get her hair cut tomorrow so it won't be in her eyes anymore. Calista wants to be able to see those beautiful green eyes better.

Happy Birthday

It's easy to see that this was indeed a "Happy Birthday" for the whole Adamson family.

First Day Of School

"Are you Ms. Celeste?"

"Yes dear, I am."

"My Mommy said that you will be taking me to school so I can learn lots of things and meet lots of new friends. She said that I'll have my own adventures at school and then you'll bring me back home."

"Your Mommy is very smart. Now come on in and sit down so we can start your next adventure off right."

(This picture is dedicated to all my school bus driver friends. Thanks for all you do to keep our little children safe.)

The Start of Hope's Adventure

"Yea! I'm going to school!"

Hope climbs on board the big yellow bus and imagines all the fun she's going to have at school. Who will she meet there? What will she learn? Will she make new friends?
