Kiana loves spending time with her little sister, Shayla. It gives her great practice for the day when she has her own daughter to read to. Grandpa Sebastian listens in, not wanting to admit that he wouldn't mind being read to as well.
Dorian Lind finds something Vladamir said to him shocking, or maybe it's just Vladamir's old fashioned style that he finds so shocking.
Sebastian listens in as Kiana reads to Shayla again, but this time he is more subtle about it.
Looks like someone got distracted while cooking!
Sebastian and Kiana go on an "adventure" and search for buried treasure. Will they be successful?
Vladamir is tired of having a soft flabby stomach. He wants to get more buff!
Neighbor Maud Jacobs drops by to tell Sebastian that Lyndsey Lind can't come over to visit like she had wanted to.
One day Vladamir decided to get the family a puppy. They'd really been wanting one and they can afford the extra expense now. The little one has already picked out his favorite family member!
Though Vladamir is hard pressed to put the cute little thing down to give anyone else a chance to play with. They named him Duke. He's a Capricorn.
Kiana won the treasure hunt!
Shayla would much rather be in bed than stuck in that chair any longer!
For some reason the boys really don't like Kiana very much.
Sebastian spends as much time with Shayla as he can. That is, when Kiana is not taking up all her time.
Vladamir heads off to work, but he refuses to take off his favorite hat.
Shayla takes the opportunity to snuggle her best buddy, Duke.
But it isn't long before Kiana finds her and grabs a book.
Finally it's time for Shayla to grow up. Soon she'll be able to read for herself.
Vladamir takes some time to help Kiana out with her schoolwork. She gets so distracted by boys and family that often her job and homework get neglected.
Noticing that Shayla put on a great deal of weight, the family has a group exercise session in order to encourage her to slim down.
But the stereo breaks and Sebastian has to fix it.
Shayla is determined to slim down, however, so she gets back to work as soon as she can.
Big sister, Kiana, is still busy striking out with the boys in town.
She was so upset that she started harassing customers at the record store she works at and received a big demotion.
Before long it was Duke's birthday. The family is pleased that he grew up so nicely.
Then Shayla looked down...
And she saw that she was finally successful at dropping her baby fat!
She finally sits down to some more relaxing activities with her big sister.
Now that Duke is older, Vladamir wants to teach him a few things so that he can help the family out by getting a job.
The family decides to start a garden and Kiana gets things started by fertilizing a few garden plots.
And they spruce up their tiny front yard a little bit with some flowers.
Sebastian helps Shayla with her homework since Vladamir is busy with his duties on the force.
Kiana makes another attempt at getting a boyfriend.
But it doesn't work out quite the way she planned.
Frustrated, she bursts into tears in front of her grandfather. He isn't sure what to say to her.
