The Journal of Phillip Grant - Dec 20

That's Corey, the gnome I bought at the consignment store. But how did he get here? I left him by the mailbox. I'm sure I left him by the mailbox. Weird.

I met up in the park with Dad and Uncle Rick. I wasn't to know it at the time, it's the last time I'll see either of them. I fear that the Reaper has been after my older relatives now.

Last time I wrote, I had discovered that my big brother Sammy and his wife Malia were expecting a new baby. I invited Malia home and Mom just loved finding that she had a new grandchild on the way.

As it turned out, Sammy wasn't the only sibling of mine working on more grandchildren. Eric found out he was going to be a daddy again too. The Shrimp will no longer be the only child in the house.

He's actually quite a nice kid. But there's not a lot of room in this place for more and I did tell Dad that it's getting to be time for Vanessa and I to move out.

Before we do, we should take care of one more thing.

Eric bought new sheets for the beds downstairs.  I hope the Shrimp finds them funny and not scary.  They don't look scary to me but he is a bit young for a design of monsters.

I decided to have a night at the Bistro.  If I had timed it a bit differently, I could have sat with Dad who was on his way in when I was going out.  It was another nice dinner but not nearly as divine as my previous meal.

So there I was in the park with Vanessa. Damn she is just so fine, I can't stop thinking about her.

At any rate, I had to duck off for a quick pee. Had to have been the worse timing of my life.

There she was, ready to have a baby. In the public toilets in the park. Obviously, I couldn't let that happen so I took her to the hospital in a taxi.  That's Alyssia Hill, she's married to a blue dude called Lavar.

I wasn't the only one that felt a bit stressed.  Several guys outside the hospital also worried about the birth.  We got in just fine, the dad arrived a short time later.  I didn't get a picture of the baby, he has the same skin tone as his dad and his older sister.  Hmm, I think it was a boy.  I could be wrong, it was a stressful night.

Denise and I flirted the night away at Dad's latest party.  Her new hair style is very cute.  So is she.

Dad was really happy.  He's finally earned his black belt.  He is a Master of the martial arts now.  He says that the time and stench were well worth the effort.

Last time, I think I mentioned I wanted to chat Vanessa Bachelor, get to know her a bit.  Actually, she's a friend and I was rather hoping that I could build that up to something more.

It took me forever to finally meet up with her. We chatted for a bit then I tried compliments.

She mentioned Cecil.

I tried flirting a bit. She compared me with Cecil again and he came out ahead.

While waiting to get into school today, I took some pics of the other kids around town. There are a lot of kids and teens in this town.  It can take us hours to get inside, I dread if we ever have a fire drill.  We'll never get out in time to make the firemen happy.

This is Shanita Hawke, oldest daughter of Hugo and Susie Pierce Hawke. She seems to be taking after her mom quite a bit.

Marcelo Pendragon - younger son of Jack and Celia.  The other boy is Marco Sekemoto, my cousin Chance's son.

I think the girl in front is Dayna Leman.  Which would make her grandparents, Thomas and Bebe Leman - Benjamin and Macy (Monroe) Lee.  All those red heads in the family and she has Bebe's hair colour.  Behind Dayna is Vanessa Bachelor - I think her mom was Bella Bachelor not quite positive who her dad was.  Behind them is Darren Pendragon - Marcelo's older brother.

This is Denise Wolff-Lessen.  Her mom is Suzette Wolff-Lessen.  I think that's the girl that was Uncle Henry's best friend as a kid but either Uncle Jack or Uncle Rick couldn't stand the sight of her.  Her dad is Mick Wolff-Lessen.  You know, I should get to know her a lot better.  Definitely cute.

Tyler Townsend got around a bit.  The girl in front is his oldest daughter Ashley Smith, he had a brief fling with someone called Rebecca Smith.  Behind is one of his two girls with Sierra Nevada Townsend, her name is Rosie.

Another of my cousins, Shelly Grant.  She looks so much like her evil mother Patricia. I wonder if her personality is anything like her mom. If so, I feel sorry for any guy that dates her. Poor Uncle Rick has not had a nice home life, they argue a lot. It even makes the papers.

Dad is still working on mastering his martial arts skill.  Maybe he should retire from athletics so he can concentrate on a few other things in life.  I don't think Dad has ever adjusted to being at the top of the tree in his career.  I know Granddad used to hold the occasional autograph session but I don't think Dad has yet.

This was so unfair.  I heard cousin Tate got married and was going to have a party.  So I turn up, see who comes to the party and find that Tate is leaving!  No one in the family has met his new wife yet, but we all hope for the best for him.

Pretty location, just on sunset.  There should have been a pretty girl here.  And I was stood up.  I wanted to chat to Vanessa and she promised to meet me.  She never actually came and waited until I was leaving before she rang to say she definitely wasn't coming.

The Pendragons were here.  Jack still works undercover, you never know what career clothes he'll be in next.  I think Darren is taking after his dad.  Celia Pendragon is now an elder.   She was lounging on one of the chairs.

Looks like someone forgot to check how old the leftovers were.
Nope, looks like two people got a bit carried away about their engagement.
Dad!  How long have you been reading this?
I read all of it boy.
[mutter] Damn.

Ok, Dad may have had a point.  I have another niece or nephew on the way.
