Life continued rather smoothly for the Kleptos until the latest excitement over the imminent birth of the eighth generation. Kani wasn't sure if she was really ready for this event, so Kanani got out her cell phone to place a call for any emergency advice. Fortunately, everything worked out okay.


The newest member carries the insanity gene and may, hopefully, fulfill the role of jack of all trades someday. While the delivery wore Kani out, little Kimberly arrived with lots of energy to spare. She just might have her daddy's green eyes along with his darker complexion.


Fortunately, she'll have some playmates her age. Allyson Alfaro, in the ladybug tee, currently thinks more of herself than others. Little Wilson Stover is the same way. They just don't know how to interact with others much yet.


Of course, if their parents are like Kimberly's, there isn't much role modeling. Kani spent her recovery time creating a cool new painting. This one will definitely go on the wall of fame. (It will replace an older, rather abstract version.)


Kani's mother also painted a never-seen-before rendition of a surfer. As there is no ocean in Riverview, Michaela must have been inspired from a visit to Sunset Valley or maybe a travel magazine. Either way, this painting too is destined for the wall of fame.


In addition to painting, many in the household have been writing books and practicing guitar. Kalia is close to achieving her lifetime want of earning the golden tongue and golden fingers title. If her medical career didn't pull her to the hospital at all hours, she might already have achieved her personal goal.


Rusty, Kalia, and Kamiya all ended up in the medical profession. (Two of them transferred over mid-way through other careers.) Though the money is good, they sometimes lament the work load. While Rusty suffers from technophobia, the gals enjoy watching a little television when they get home.
