Alex: "I quit my job Rica."
Rica: "What why?"
Alex: "In memory of Mom, I joined the culinary field. It's what I really want and I always figured I had time you know? But with Mom gone, I realize that you don't always have as much time as you think."

This is the last painting that Agnes Grim painted. Eventually, we're going to move it into the nursery, but no one has had the heart to move it and I won't until they're ready.

Speaking of paintings.. Alex lets his insane trait do a small number on two very familiar ones in his quest to supermax painting.

The other twin spends a lot of her time attempting to supermax fishing. Deciding she had to have the Bridgeport species, she set out to get them straight away for her collection. She managed to get a perfect specimen on her first catch of each species.
Perfect Kissing Gourami: Wendy
Perfect Sewer Trilobyte: Ronald
Perfect Sea Sludge: Holly (yes as in Alto)

Angie's first memory was being able to socialize with celebrity Geoffrey Landgraab. She and Malcolm had just gone over to tell his parents about their wedding. Malcolm was calming his mother down when…

Grim Reaper: "I know I just came and took your dad but can I take your photo?"
Malcolm: "Are you the one that came for Agnes Grim the other night?"
Grim Reaper: "No that was Larry."
Malcolm: "Then of course you can take my picture."

Rica: "Artie.. you better be down there finding me a caveman suit!!!"
Artie: -echoes- "Yes dear."
Rica: "I don't like your tones."

Bella: "Thanks for agreeing to meet me here. It feels like our first date even though we've been together since high school."
Mortimer: "I know exactly what you mean. What do you want to do tonight hmm?"

Rica: "Shhh.. Leon is sleeping.." I think this is a new pose for my French gnomes.

Napo the French Gnome: "I have called together our first Grim Gnome meeting to commemorate the … Will someone wake up Leon please?"
Jeannie the Mystery Gnome: "Who's the new guy?"
The new guy: "I'm Isaac. I climbed into Artie's pocket at work one night."

Rica: My first pillow fight! -blink- "Angelica Grim! Don't break his neck!"
Angelica: "Whoops.. was that too hard?"
Malcolm: "No.. uh.." -stumbles- "I'm good.. maybe a little lighter."

Rica: While Angelica repairs Malcolm's neck, I slipped over to the art gallery where Bella and Morty were to see that Artie has become Art! One of the ones I got rid of while trying to get his elder portrait done.

(1)Rica: "I get you a cane like you asked not so nicely and you're just going to stand there and complain aren't you?"
(1)Artie: "Blasted kids don't know how to clean the counter properly."
(2)Rica: "Hey buddy.. yeah you with the cane. Get back in that hole!"
(2)Artie: "Give me a break woman! I'm breaking in my cane."
(2)Rica: "This is going to be the last time I give you something you want. Now give me something I want! A caveman suit!"

Bella and Morty liked the date thing so much they went on another one. This time Bella brought him back home.

The date ends on a high note and one things leads to another… contagiously.

(1)Rica: "Angel.. you're the only woman in the world that pukes and still thinks well of her husband."
(2)Artie: "Why can't I get in this bathroom?"
(2)Bella: "One sec Artie."
(2)Artie: "Not you too." -grumbles and stomps with his cane.-
