ease your feet in the sea

November 2030 - Autumn Miller and Tucker Wright are 27, Toby Wright is 5.

Autumn is pregnant with her second child, and Toby is very excited to be a big brother.

Autumn has been taking shorter shifts at the restaurant during her pregnancy. She's been spending more time working in the yard and tending the garden.

Toby is in kindergarten, and he loves going to school and seeing his friends. But the dog Lulu is lonely without him.

Toby brings friends home from school almost every day. One of his friends is Alison Cameron, who's also in kindergarten.

Harper Myers is another girl in his class. She lives in an apartment building near the train tracks with her parents who are both doctors, and she comes over often while her parents are at work.

"Do you want to play outside?" he suggests.

"Okay."

They run outside, where Tucker is fixing up an old car he got from the junkyard.

"Are you kids going down to the beach?" he asks.

"Yup," Toby yells as he runs past.

"Just don't go into the water," his father warns. "I'll be up here if you need anything."

It's too cold to go into the water anyway, but they have a good time playing tag on the beach.

Toby is such a sweet, friendly, outgoing kid. He loves playing with his friends, and he can't wait to have a little brother or sister to play with.

  1. Toby seems sooo sweet. I hope he gets a little brother to play with, and chase around playing tag together.

    I like the picture of Toby flying past while Tucker works on the car. I like the name Harper, she's a cute kid too.

  2. Thanks for the comment! Toby is pretty adorable, and the house on the beach is a really fun place to live. You'll see the new baby when I finish this round and update the list of residents, but Autumn and Tucker had another son, Dylan.
