Last of the 3rd Generation

The two youngest girls in the family, Lydia and Leod's daughters, Alba and Elizabeth were the last to become adults and start families of their own.

Alba married her childhood sweetheart, Vince Jalowitz.
They moved into the old caretaker's house where their oldest sister, Gwendolyn, once lived. She is currently expecting a baby.


Elizabeth dreamed of staying on the farm and was thrilled to inherit it when Lydia passed away.

As much as Elizabeth loved farming, she had a difficult time keeping up with the gardens and orchard and other yard work, so she hired a gardener named Patrick Miller to help.

He was a very kind man with a passion for farming. Rumor in Riverblossom was that their friendship soon developed into a racy affair. Luckily, I have the pictures to prove it!


No one quite knew what came first, the wedding or the baby, but about 9 months after their wedding, Hamilton came along.

Their wedding day (I forgot to check what her "formal" outfit was, so I was surprised by this little number she was sporting on her wedding day... Yet, some may call it appropriate!)



After their first baby, Elizabeth really wanted to try for a little girl but decided she was done with babies after twins, Liam and Eric, came along.
