The rain is completely gone, no rainbow this time, but a beautiful clear blue sky. 

The first Sing-a-gram of the day. (Looks like the recipient wasn't too impressed).

But Ashley's You are Special Sing-a-gram went flawlessly, so she started her day well. Soon enough she'll reach Level 10 of her singing career, then maybe it will be time to move to a bigger city, like Starlight Shores?

We'll see if Adam decides to join her. He probably will since he's very much in love and I don't think he'll want to part with her.

And that's all about the Alto brothers, (for now). They will be back next year for sure. Or sooner? Either way, stay tuned! 😉

 Adam and Ashley are temporarily living in the Alto family home. Here they are, having breakfast together before starting their respective workdays.

Before leaving for work Ashley wanted to water the plants in the garden, which in the end was useless cause it started to rain, and it even hailed.

But Ashley didn't care and continued watering plants as if nothing else was happening.

Adam, eating dinner alone because Ashley is always late home from work.

He always writes for a good while before going to bed.

Ashley took too long; Adam was exhausted so he went to sleep.

Another day, very rainy, by the way; Adam and Ash get ready for work. He made pancakes for both of them, but she doesn't seem to have much of an appetite today, she seems kind of distracted.

Adam, on the other hand, would never turn down pancakes. Calories are always a good way to start the day.

It looks like Ashley finally decided to eat, I mean, who could despise Adam's excellent pancakes? The rest of the Alto siblings miss them since he moved in with her, in fact, they miss all of his dishes. He and Alexis sure know how to cook.

      

In case you're wondering, Adam and Ashley's house (under the rain here) is Abbey Place. I really, really loved that house, but I had to move my sims out of there because my game glitched (long story). Anywya, thanks to SimplySimlish from MTS for creating this amazing lot. 

Here are Adam and Ashley fighting about God knows what. I guess it has to do with their careers, Ashley wants to be a singer and Adam is a writer, I don't know if these two careers are compatible, what I do know is that they both spend too much time away from each other, focused on their respective jobs.  Sometimes they get tense and well, this is the result.

Luckily, love always triumphs in the end, and even more so with these two. Just look at Adam's face, you can tell he's very much in love. I've come to think that he will be the first of the siblings to get married, if Ashley says yes, of course.

Sometimes Adam feels a little lonely because she spends most of her time out of the house. Although sometimes loneliness can have its advantages, especially for a writer. Another upside is that he does all the cooking, so he's never short of food, lol.

On Leisure Day, Amina had a gathering at her house and invited her siblings for lunch with their partners. Here she is eating hot dogs with her brother Adam and brother-in-law Denny. Teodor didn't come because naturally, on this day, he had to be with his wife and children. Aidan didn't attend either, no one really knows why.

Who did attend was Ursula, wearing a cute and colorful swimsuit; Alexis said he would arrive later, he is currently at the gym, but he'll join them later.

Alina, Len and Ashley preferred to eat in the garden to be closer to the hot tub. (Since there is no pool in Amina's house).

To celebrate, Aidan and Denny went out to dinner at Riku's Luau Diner.

Before going in, Denny had to answer a phone call; Aidan waited for him smoking a cigarette. In the meantime, other customers came in and out of the restaurant, among them Aidan's brother Adam.

As Denny looks for a place to sit, Adam takes the opportunity to greet his brother and ask him how things are going. Aidan fills him in on the latest events. Adam is glad that everything at Aidan and Denny's house is back to normal. Although, knowing Aidan, that might only be temporary, but you gotta have hope.

 Aidan went to pick up Denny at the elixir store. Denny had already left, but he ran into his brother Adam, who took advantage of their encounter to lecture him about the trouble he'll be in if he goes through with this Rufus affair. Boy, how the news flies!

Aidan told his brother that there was nothing to worry about, that his 'affair' with Rufus had been a fleeting one and that Denny and he had an agreement. This didn't reassure Adam much, but still, he wished him good luck, brightened his day and finally asked him to stay out of trouble. (Hopefully Aidan would listen to his brother).

The Altos' house again.

Aidan and his paintings.

Adam, eating Autumn Salad, his favorite food.

And this is Ashley, Adam's girlfriend.

That's Alexis, the youngest of the Alto siblings, eating outside the cafeteria.

During one of his evening boat rides.

Amina, Aidan's oldest sister, she was named after her grandfather Amin Kamel.

Adam is the second of the Alto children. He's a beginner journalist but he also likes to write, especially long novels. Here he is, writing at night while his younger brother Alexis sleeps. 

The Altos have one more sister, the youngest, her name is Alina but I don't have any pics of her yet :P  

The five Alto siblings, all of them young adults, left Hidden Springs not long ago and moved back to Sunlit Tides to start their careers. Amina is in the Medicine career, Adam and Alina are in Journalism;  Aidan is a Painter and Alexis is into Sports. We'll see more of them later, I hope. :)

Latest Events at the Alto's House

More important things happened at the Alto's home. For instance, the birth of their fifth child, Alina. Another girl at last, as they wanted. Alina would be the last according to their plans. She turned out to be even more whiny that her brother Alexis.

Speaking of Alexis, it looks like he learned to walk already.

Which made his parents so proud.

 Meanwhile, it was Aidan's birthday.

An event that the Altos celebrated with a house party without any worries cause the next morning was a day off.

Aidan became a child, now there were only two babies in the family, Alexis and Alina. Griffin's dream of raising five toddlers  to teens was about to be fullfilled.

Around those days, Sandy and Griffin decided to take a well deserved vacation, so they left their oldest children, namely Adam, in charge of the house and the family.

Adam didn't do so bad. He took good care of the house, was attentive to everything, especially his youngest siblings. He spent most of the time teaching Alexis to talk.

He fulfilled his role as the head of the family in the morning, and in the afternoon he relaxed and enjuoyed the pool in the company of his sister and a few friends.

Aidan didn't do much for helping his older siblings, he seemed more interested in sleeping and eating.

 Waking up at noon and having 'lunch' at 3 pm was his idea of freedom. Sure, once in a while he took a look at his homework, but as if this was vacation, he wasn't too worried, he'd deal with that later.

Just like Adam was focused in taking care of Alexis, Amina focused in her little sister Alina, playing with her most of the time.

The rest of it she dedicated to talk and play with Kiwi Hale, a friend of Adam with whom she got along very well. They both seemed to like each other a lot, too bad Kiwi had a girlfriend already.

Plus, soon the Alto family would move back to Hidden Springs. Goodbye, Sunlit Tides, and goodbye Kiwi...

While his friend Kiwi and his sister had fun together, Adam got an unexpected visit from his aunt Sharona Racket. She's the daughter of Mona Kamel -granpa Amin's younger sister.  Adam and Sharona had never met each other, that's why she had come to Sunlit Tides with her family and dropped by to say hi.

 The first time Adama met a pretty girl and she turned out to be his relative. Typical Kamel family. Too bad, he would've liked to ask Sharon to be his date for prom, but he had to settle for inviting her to a little party at the pool.

When Griffin and Sandy returned from their vacation, the house looked impeccable. No trace of Adam, Sandy, Kiwi and Sharona's parties.

Alexis was quietly eating in his high chair comía tranquilamente en su silla alta, Alina was napping in her swing, and Aidan was in his bedroom, peacefully doing his homework.

 Griffin and Sandy breathed in relief. The 'kids' had done a great job in their absence. They had heard some rumors about a noisy party at the pool one of those afternoons, they must be only that, rumors, cause the Alto children are angels!
