Our steadfast fundies, Danny-Joe and Melissa, had borne eight blessings: Aaron, Abel, Abigail, Abijah, Abilene, Adah, Adalia, and Adam. But they weren't in the home stretch yet.

In short order came their next four: Alexander, twins Amos and Anna, and Asa.

Life was a breeze for Melissa now that Abigail was old enough to take over baby care.

Meanwhile, Abilene was studying the fine art of home economics to provide for her family and future...

...while Abel had met Hana, a new special friend, at the library!

Abel knew that Hana's lax modesty standards might be an issue, but he was beginning to think that was all bunk, anyway. Even so, they chastely courted...

...until Abel popped the question at the library where they had first met. 

Back at the house, Abigail was becoming a young woman!

She immediately went to the park, hoping for a meet-cute with her Prince Charming. Hapless passerby Randolph Cardwell was her target!

He needed a shave and a haircut, but Abigail thought he had potential. They bonded over their shared love of cloudgazing...

The aspiring chef offered her a way out of indentured sistermomhood, and they eloped immediately.

He made her an omelette every morning in their new home.

And soon, Randolph and Abigail welcomed baby Madeleine! What a luxury to have a whole nursery for one child.

In the meantime, a coup had taken place in the Bugler family! Aaron, Abijah, Abilene, and Adah had moved to their own house with their own rules.

When the siblings came together to celebrate Adah's birthday, Abigail was amazed to see her sisters in less modest clothing.

And back at the original Bugler homestead, life was in an uproar. Nothing worked right without the older kids around! The season of life for first generation Bugler babies had passed.

Abigail's daughter Madeleine was growing up, and she enjoyed spending time with Abel and Hana's daughter, her new cousin Cleo.

But one day when Madeleine was at Cleo's house, something went terribly wrong when Uncle Abel was making lunch.

Madeleine and Cleo tried to raise an alarm, but no one came... and Uncle Abel was on fire.

Cleo tried to help, but she caught on fire! She managed to save herself, but it was too late for Abel.

Madeleine, Cleo, and Hanna watched in horror as the flames consumed Abel and the house.

Back in the safety of her own home, Madeleine was comforted by her mother, Abigail, with a reading from the Bible.

As time passed after the fire, the family began to heal. Hana found comfort with her brother-in-law Abijah, and they were married.

And at the Caldwell house, a son, named Felix Abel in memory of his uncle, joined the family.
