Welcome to Strangerville

 Carly, Day 181, June 30, 2026

When I was still having them testing that everything was accessible, the Welcome Wagon showed up. Carly could sense that there was something a little off about this Welcome Wagon.

Carly thought maybe she was just imagining it - nervous about being in a new home and all.

They even offered her some fruitcake.

Homemade of course.

Carly got a little afraid of their sudden movements.

Carly thinking there is no way I am eating that fruitcake. What if it is contagious.

After they left - Bye, bye Fruitcake.

Carly had heard about someone that might know what was going on and went to check it out.

Phillip: You know that is just a colander with holiday lights.
Carly: Well, it might protect me from whatever that Welcome Wagon had going on.

Miscellaneous

 Carly, Day 180, June 29, 2026

These are a few pictures from the past couple days. Carly and Phillip did move tonight to Strangerville and then I did my back up. I do hope after this update Carly can hug Em again. And give her a bath when she needs it. 

In Belacorde, Prince Harrison helped his Mom with the garden and then had his first encounter with Moondance. I think Moondance was puzzled at this little one that was dressed to look like him.

And the boys went to visit Aunt Carly and Uncle Phillip. This is the youngest Prince, Prince Spencer.

And both boys met Em, but I couldn't get a good picture.

And when Isabella got done reading them a story, they immediately thought of Em.

And before Harrison aged up to a toddler I wanted to get an infant picture. I was having trouble with the Pose Player with an infant, so ended up just having them sit and got a family photo.

And Prince Harrison blew out his candles at around 1AM Ondarion time.

And as a toddler.

And I did want to show Spencer's nursery. I wasn't sure what theme to do the nursery in and came across these adorable llama pictures by Rosemow and they just look adorable.

After Harrison aged up, I went back to Carly and Phillip. They are moved into the house and then I backed up but a few shots from the interior. This is the entry and another shout out to Rosemow. I fell in love with these colorful flower paintings and thought they would be perfect for the look I wanted in Strangerville.

And a little desk area behind the TV area.

And Carly's secret spy area in the basement.

And the TV area. I didn't decide yet if that blank wall will be photos, a painting or shelves. I didn't want to get her photos out of her inventory until after the update. Everything was saved to the library, but would rather not take chances.

And the dining room from the outside.

I am really excited to start living here. And actually enjoying it once Carly solves the mystery. Phillip will not be a part of that (as long as he doesn't get infected). 

Visits

 Carly, Day 178, June 27, 2026

I can't believe we are almost halfway through the year! Since Carly won't be able to visit most people next month, she got out to make a few more visits before the end of this month. Please forgive any clothing choices I might have made for children. 

The first stop was to meet Melody now that she has aged up. Em always comes along on visits since there are pets in every household. Em was happy to see her Mom Maple and Just Truffle.

Phillip got to thank Melody for the Winterfest gift.

And told her a tale about a dragon.

And Carly was thrilled to find out that Melody did not think she was lame like some grown ups.

And then they headed over to meet the grown up Navarro children. Phillip first had to meet Zorro. I don't know why the meetings with the pets never stick and every time they go visiting, it is a new introduction - I guess there is just not enough time to build a good friendship.

And Em and Zorro must have remembered each other.

And Phillip was happy to find out that Yuna thinks he's cool. And Em was happy to get some pets.

I only saw Sasuke briefly but Zorro was always hanging with everyone so he got more attention.

And Xica gave Em some love. She was in the pool with Kenji when we got there. Pretty sure I didn't choose the swim outfit because I never leave sandals with swimsuits but I might have forgot to edit it.

And Davi must have been on his way to bed but Phillip got to talk with him for a bit. 

And they went to the Rollins house the next evening. Phillip greeted the Queen first.

And Eric was left on the sidewalk and it was raining. Carly could not pick him up so I kept trying to have Carly be introduced to him so someone would go get him, but it took forever.

Meanwhile Kara was happy and warm playing with her Mrs. Meowness. She is actually in Eric's room there.

Phillip came up to talk to her about tanks. (Maybe they aren't ready for kids yet.) 

But then joined her for playing dolls.

Eventually everyone gathered in Kara's room.

And Jace got Eric upstairs to meet Carly. Now Kara is sleepy and everyone's in her room. And Carly of course got angry about the crying baby and put him in his crib. (Again, are they ready for kids?)

And Queen Moxie and King Phillip talked about how difficult it is running a kingdom.

And in dynasty news, Isabella was pregnant and she had another baby boy. He will be named Spencer. I wasn't there for his birth to name him.

It's a Boy

 Carly, Day 172, June 21, 2026

Carly does not make an appearance in this one, but Phillip did. Isabella had a her baby.

It's a Boy -- guess I gave that away with the title! Prince Harrison Devereaux.

Uncle Simon was happy to welcome a little one to the Dynasty.

And just by chance, Phillip stopped by the house for a visit soon after Isabella gave birth. He got to meet his new little nephew.

He stayed a newborn for about 12 hours and became an infant.

I wanted sailboat pictures in the room. They are from the gallery by achianty. He has Lawson's blue eyes.

And the other side of the nursery.

And some tummy time. He loves being held so was not happy when Dad put him down.

I want to have Carly and Phillip over now that he is an infant and will get some pictures then switch back to them. But he is cute and it's been so long since anyone in my families has had an infant.
