Well well well… let’s revisit Joey and his growing family shall we?  How HAVE they been???!!

So let’s see.. Lola has been doing incredible in school thanks to daddy’s hands-on approach to parenting.  You see those red bags under his eyes?  Hard day at work, but does he let Lola know that? No way… he knew his work was paying off when he would catch her off in a corner somewhere curled up with a book of her own…

….. But she was growing up.  And learning about chat rooms… and training bras… and *gasp* periods….

She met a boy online named Adam.  Apparently he was in the same school but a grade higher than her… they sometimes met during lunch at one of the benches by the river… You realize they had to sneak out of school to do this right?  Right. 

Joey is about to lose his damn mind…

Poor Joey.

Oh, and Eloise?  Business as usual!  She was either in her garden or her kitchen and she was a freakin’ BOSS in each one.  She started working part time and was trying to wrap her mind (and body) around this whole working mom business.  It was HARD.

So that’s pretty much it… Nothing too exciting happening for Joey….

Except… for, you know….

HIS NEW BABY!  He didn’t get his dear son, but he got something even more precious, another darling daughter; Audrey Rain Markham.

Awwww Joey….

Poor Eloise.

She was becoming very familiar with the bathroom as the weeks went by.  She always had to pee.  She always had to puke.  She was no longer thrilled with this whole pregnancy thing anymore.

And Joey?  He tried to be as supportive as he could but there was only so much he could do.  As you can see, the “so much he could do” was primarily stuffing his face with El’s food.  Talk about packing on the pregnancy weight! Damn Joey!

After a pep talk from his best man Peter, Joey was ready for his big day.

It was a beautiful ceremony and the day he’d been waiting on his whole life (next to the birth of his first born of course).

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Reese Markham

After the ceremony, no one could figure out who the blonde was.  Joey didn’t know her and neither did El… I don’t think either one of them invited her.  She stayed at the bar the whole damn night…

Joey and Eloise consummated their marriage that night… all over the house with their freaky asses…  The couches, the counters, the dining room table, the sink, the tub, the lamp, the porch, the fucking RIVER yo!

All that excitement was just too much for Joey.

Poor Joey.

Joey was pretty surprised at how well he and El (his little nickname for her besides his other nickname for her which is strictly for bedroom use: “Babybootyclap”) were getting along.  It’s like they were made for each other by some sort of master controller person who created them in some strange create-a-person part of the universe…

Strange…

Turns out, not only was Eloise handy in the kitchen, she also had mad gardening skills and could grow all kinds of things.  “Only the freshest for my Joeyboo.”

Joey was quite the fisherman too!  Fresh fish for dinner was a favorite with these two.

They hadn’t even been in love or lived together for that long and Joey was going to have a damn stroke and piss himself if he didn’t pop the question soon. The bros had already given their seal of approval.

So, he caught her making breakfast one morning and with the urgency of a sperm swimming to fertilize an egg, he dropped to one knee and asked for El’s hand in marriage.

She said yes!

Freakin’ love birds.  Get a room already.

The Chardonet sisters moved in during the wee hours of the morning.  Cherry is the oldest.  I see Chessa as the younger brat who lives wild and carefree while Cherry is the more mature and level-headed one.  Cherry is charged with keeping her sister in check after their parents passed away recently in a tragic hot-air balloon accident….
