Last Round - Marina's pottery room at home got an upgrade. Veronica opened her first restaurant, La Cantina Marinara! Veronica and Zachary got married at home, and moved out together - her last name is now Lewis.
Who's Who in the Zoo?
Marina (Harrison) was the younger daughter of Dahlia and Sawyer Harrison, and Marco is the older son of Mateo and Judy Rossi. Marco and Marina have been together since they were teenagers, and they have one daughter, Veronica. She's got a few cousins - Starla and Theo Harrison on her mom's side and Paolo and Luca Crosby on her dad's side. She is married to Zachary Lewis and they now have their own home, so Marco and Marina are empty nesters!
A peaceful night just before fall tips into winter on this lot!
The ROS they got was to redecorate a room, which worked out quite well as I already figured I should do something with Veronica's old bedroom now that she'd moved out. I decided to convert it to a dining room, and replace the kitchen table that used to be here with an island and barstools.
I quite like how that turned out!
Nala and Patches playing together!
And Marco and Marina too - they still love this mahjong table!
Enjoying their first meal in the new dining room.
Mean wolf was menacing Marco!
Marco loves basketball, so of course it makes sense for him to patronize Hoop World, Louise's business.
Trash talking Elijah!
Marina stayed home and worked on some pottery pieces for the shop.
Home again <3
Marco called his nephew Paolo and it seems like they were chatting a little about the babies that are on the way in their household!
Hunter mode!
In for a day of work at Sul Sul Ceramics, Bethany is impressing the business reviewer!
Encouraging her staff!
Marina kind of got involved with whatever swinger type scene Callum and Hollie have going on earlier this round in their turn, so her greeting of him was very ummm... warm.
Upstairs to busy your hands with something else!
Hard work paying off!
Time to go home and completely veg out at the end of the day.
Discussing pottery together, cute!
Zoomies!
Then Callum and Hollie showed up unannounced which really had me nervous!
At one point Marina went to relax on the bed and I really though yikes, this is how this marriage ends huh? But she was actually just... relaxing!
I let them hang out at the house a bit so I didn't feel like I was being too hasty in stopping them from whatever bad behaviour they may be prone to, but nothing of note happened so that's good!
As a treat for being well behaved, they went out on a date today! Since Marina is into the arts, they went and checked out the new Community Arts Centre that opened downtown!
Marco even tried his hand at a little painting!
The food fair outside is convenient as well, this was a really fun lot to play!
Chatting with Melena.
Crumplebottom on patrol!
Marco picked up some fresh groceries while they were there!
They stayed into the evening before heading back home!
More play!
And snuggles from dad.
This evening they met with Veronica and Zachary for a family dinner at Nigiri House.
Love this restaurant for dates and family dinners too, so cozy. Makes me wish I could dine there!
A toast to family!
Paolo let himself in while they were out, and watched a bit of the game on TV... Ok!
Sleeping in their pumpkins.
Marco joined Marina at work today.
Veronica was there to shop her mom's wares!
A busy day!
More family support, Marina's sister Angelie also came by!
The lineups don't stop!
Back home to decompress from the day and a peaceful but still eventful week - that's it for them this time!
