Meet the new recruits!
Joel, a very sweet little boy who keeps trying to jump out of the playpen because he's so curious lol
And Ellie, his gorgeous, whiny sister who does NOT want to be held lol
They were flea infested and anemic, but we are hopeful they will heal up well. They're about 7-8 weeks old, so I imagine they will be available for adoption around the end of July!

Location: Windslar, Windenburg
(transcript under the cut)
Episode 4 | Previous | Next (Part 2)
So...I lied. This episode is actually going to be 3(!) parts long, mostly because the dinner with Audreyanna's dad and Brylee is going to be...well, you can imagine how that's going to go. Part 2 should be up within the next 24 hours, and part 3 on Tuesday--though I'm going to be traveling this week, so don't quote me on this schedule. Hope you enjoy getting to know the foster moms a bit better! I felt bad for neglecting them so much thus far.
Episode 5: Mother, Mother - Part 1
Scene 1 - Inside 28 Windslar
[Audreyanna and Evelyn lie sleeping.]
Alarm clock at 7:30 AM: bzzt! bzzt! bzzt!
Audreyanna (giving Evelyn a wet smooch): You’re in a good mood today.
Evelyn: A day off will do that to anyone. And no kissing before you brush your teeth, remember?
Audreyanna: [sighs} Fine, I’m going.
Evelyn: Or sighing.
[Audreyanna enters the bathroom and starts brushing her teeth.]
Evelyn (from the bedroom): It’s a nice day out. We should do something fun today! Windenburg’s going to get a lot of rain soon.
Audreyanna Can’t. Long day at work, then a dinner obligation that I unfortunately can’t skip.
Evelyn: Dinner? Ooh, who with?
Audreyanna (mumbling around her toothbrush): I’ll tell you later.
Evelyn: That’s too bad. I’ll see if any of the kids want to take a walk with me after school.
[Evelyn goes downstairs and looks at the house’s shared calendar.]
Evelyn: Or not, I guess. Soccer practice, shifts at work...“prior commitment”? Thanks for being cryptic, Josh.
Audreyanna (from upstairs): Can you—
Evelyn: Make you a cup? Sure, though I’m not sure how you heard me from all the way up there. Morning, Heather.
Heather (rushing out of the house): Sorry, can’t talk. Rani’s waiting for me so we can take the train together.
Evelyn: What about the others?
Heather: Already left!
Scene 2 - Outside 28 Windslar
[The two foster moms sit on a swinging bench on their patio, drinking coffee.]
Evelyn: Kids all gone?
Audreyanna: Yep. Don’t think we’ve had the house to ourselves since we moved in. I like it.
Evelyn: Forgot to tell you—I’m taking Bobbie to the petting zoo in a few hours.
Audreyanna: Let me guess: your brother begged you to get her out of the house?
Evelyn: Yeah, but I don’t blame him. She’s antsy to start school, but she has to wait until the fall. That’s forever to a five-year-old.
Audreyanna: No kidding.
Evelyn: And now it’s my turn to guess. You’re having dinner with your dad, aren’t you?
[Audreyanna is silent.]
Evelyn: Busted.
Audreyanna: It’s not what you think, okay? We haven’t spoken since Christmas. I’m still low-contact. A dinner is...a concession.
Evelyn (sipping from her mug): Mm.
Audreyanna: A way to keep him at a respectable distance. I don’t want him to come poking around in my life. You remember how that went last time.
Evelyn: Audreyanna, you’re almost fifty.
Audreyanna: Don’t I know it.
Evelyn: I’m just saying that, at this point, you can put your foot down. We’re not little girls anymore.
Audreyanna (pulling Evelyn to rest against her chest): C’mere. You’re too far away.
Evelyn: Trying to be cute isn’t going to change my mind.
Audreyanna (pausing before speaking): You’re right, okay? But I need to do this on my own time. Ever since Mom died, the thought of finally pulling away has been too painful for me to even think about.
Evelyn: I could come with you, if you’d like.
[Audreyanna snorts.]
Evelyn: Hey, don’t laugh. Anyone facing down dinner with your father and Brylee needs major moral support.
Audreyanna: I appreciate the offer. Honest. But this is something I need to do on my own. And I love you, babe, but even you can’t handle Brylee.
Evelyn: Hmph. That’s what you think.
