Well hi there! I’m Lydia. Nice to meet you. I am thrilled about moving into the town of Hazelnut. Though Peppie wasn’t too thrilled about moving here, but I’m sure she is going to learn to love it here. She was born here, ya know. Me & my family have been traveling entertainers for years. But now that I’ve got another bun in the oven She pats her very round belly It’s time we settled down. As much as I’ve enjoyed traveling cross country designing costumes for stage shows, the road is just no place for a little girl. Besides, Peppie’s got plenty of family right here in Hazelnut.

I’m currently living with my younger sister Janie. She says I haven’t changed a bit. Except of course, I’m as big as a house. *she chuckled.*Oh, my back is killing me & my ankles are like tree trunks. I just wanna sink into the couch, click on the tv & rest my weary head without having to lug around a belly the size & weight of a pumpkin! She rubs her belly and sighs I’m sorry. It’s not your fault. Ya know, with moving to a new town, Pepper going to a new school, a new baby coming, a father who travels too much. It’s a lot to take in.

So, here, how bout we just unwind and spark up some conversations, yeah? Don’t you worry about lil ol’ me, ok?
