A New Bundle of Joy

Before they knew it, Collette and Corbin had a new bundle of joy, a daughter named Adelle. Collette was overjoyed and loved the business of raising her three children.
Ian and Sydney developed a close relationship early on, playing side by side as toddlers, and learning the same toddler skills. As they transitioned into children, their similar appearances were even more noticeable. When she looked at her beautiful twins, Collette could see Corbin in their faces, as well as herself.
Adelle grew just as quickly as the twins, and too soon, Collette realized they had lost their babies and gained three beautiful children. Adelle had a more difficult time of childhood than did Ian and Sydney, as she often felt left out by the twin's constant, strong bond. Collette tried to comfort her youngest child, often playing with her or taking her to the park for some Mom and Adelle time.
During this same time, the family began to notice new interests and desires, revolving around their individual hobby preferences. Collette discovered a love for tinkering with things, from the television to the broken down car she refurbished with Ian. Corbin spent his time in the pursuit of musical excellence, and loved to break out the violin for the family after dinner. Sydney had always loved to have fun and felt pulled towards gaming. She showed a specific interest in card games, which her father loved to indulge. Ian took after his mother in her love of tinkering and loved working on the old car with her for hours. Little Adelle, never one to be left out, also showed an early interest in tinkering, displaying her skill with the building blocks on her toy table. The family leaped into this new use for their time with abandon, and everyone became good at more than one specific thing.
A few months before the twins became teenagers, Collette and Corbin realized their small two bedroom house had become way too small for the growing family. Collette wanted to be sure that each child had their privacy and plenty of room to grow. Corbin soon found a beautiful home in Redwood Acres, a new housing development, that had three spacious bedrooms and two full baths, as well as a large living area and airy kitchen and dinning room. The family moved as soon as Collette could arrange a day off of work.
The twins grew up soon after the move, and began to think about what they wanted out of life. Sydney decided to follow in her fathers footsteps, and pursue knowledge, with a lifetime desire of reaching the top of the SCIA. Ian on the other hand decided he wanted to make money and provide for his family, showing a strong interest in fortune. He decided his life goal was to make his money by being an entertainer, the very best entertainer he could be!
Not long after, it was time for Adelle to grow up. Corbin and Collette looked on with misty eyes as their youngest grew up. Adelle took after her mother and decided to put family first in her life, with the ultimate goal of successfully raising three children and watching them graduate from university.
The teenage years were upon them and rapidly coming to a close before Collette realized it was time to send her babies off to college. She cried of course as the three of them left together. She was thankful however for all of the work they had done to gain scholarships, and took that particular burden off of herself and Corbin.
The house was empty and the days grew longer as she and Corbin waited for the children to return home for breaks.
