DH: Michael William "Mike" (23)
hair: black, curly
eyes: brown
Job: Grocer
DW: Elysa Marie (23)
hair: blond, straight
eyes: blue
Job: Journalist
Location: Minneapolis, MN (United States)
Year 1- Family Vacation
Mike and I recently moved to Minneapolis. We really love the city and our cute two bedroom apartment! Mike is currently working for a small grocery co-op and I am a environmental blogger for a local newspaper. We also just got back from a wonderful vacation to stay with family in Florida. We went to Universal Studios, saw some awesome wildlife, and spent lots of time at the beach! But it is good to be back home!
Year 2- Job
This has been a really nice year for us. Mike has started working part-time since my job is going so well. It's great for him because he can spend time learning new things and enjoying life. And it's nice for me since I work from home and get to see him a lot more! :)
Year 3- Family Event
Mike and I love Minneapolis! We have a beautiful (although small) apartment, great jobs, and we've made a lot of good friends while living here. Recently a couple that we are friends with had a baby boy, James Oliver, and asked us to be his Godparents. We are not Catholic, but we were very honored! We've been friends with them since we moved here and Bethany and I get along great because we are both really into photography and Mike and Lewis work together and both love music, so it works out really well. Little James is so cute and I am very excited to be his Godmother.
Year 4- Travel
Mike and I got the chance to travel to Austria for a week. It was beautiful! We both love to travel and have always wanted to visit other countries, and Austria was definitely a great first! The people are so nice and it is such a beautiful place. I did an article for the newspaper blog I work for about the country's environmental efforts, so that was really neat. I hope we can go back some day! We both loved it there!
Year 5- Move
We have moved to Ireland! I can't believe it! :) I have always wanted to live in Ireland for a while and was so excited when I was offered a job there as an editor for a large news organization there for the blogging team. We found a beautiful flat in Dublin and have fallen in love with the city, people, and culture. We miss Minneapolis and our friends there, but this is an exciting new adventure! :)

Eric and Caitlin started their young married lives in Calgary, Canada.

-AD: Amelia June DuBoix [2 months. Wavy blond hair, blue eyes]
-DS: Benjamin Miles DuBoix [1. Straight brown hair, amber eyes]
Year One: Catlin and Eric, high school sweethearts, married just out of high school. They went to Italy for their honeymoon. A month after they got back, Caitlin discovered that she was pregnant with their first child. After a good pregnancy, Caitlin gave birth to a daughter. Charlotte Annemarie was born with lots of brown hair, and pretty blue eyes. The new parents decided to postpone school for a year while they raise their baby. Eric however already completed two of five years of school.
Year Two: At University, Eric won a trip for two to England! He decided to take his wife, and also Charlotte (who is almost one) seeing as it didn't cost much to add on Charlotte to the itinerary. They spent 8 days exploring England and a bit of Scotland, and Caitlin definitely had a blast seeing as it was always her dream to go to the UK. Even Charlie enjoyed herself! After a nice 10 day break, Caitlin and Eric headed home with Charlotte.
Year Three: Caitlin just started school again and because of her intellectual abilities, she completed two years. Eric has completed 4/5 years and almost a teacher! They had moved into a small house last year. And now they have new neighbors! Charles and Eloise Fairlie moved from Boston but were originally from England. They have two children; Daniel who is four and Penelope who is 3 months. Charlotte and Daniel get along so well!

DH: David Robert
-hair: staight, blonde
-eyes: hazel
DW: Maria Renee
-hair: red & wavy
-eyes: gray
First I'll introduce myself. My name is Maria Martin. My husband David and I live in München, Germany. Here, David works as a mechanic and I work as a 2nd grade teacher.
Year 1
A number of months after our marriage, I found out I was pregant! We were blessed with a healty baby girl. Her name is Adeline Renee. She has lots of black curly hair and hazel eyes just like David. I got to take a break from teaching to stay home with my newborn beauty, but now much to her dislike, she either has to go to daycare or my mom and dad's home.
DH: David Robert (26)
DW: Maria Renee (25)
DD: Adeline Renee (nb)
Year 2
This year, David begged me to travel to the United States, somewhere he's wanted to go since he was a young child. I was worried how it would go with a one-year old, but finally I said yes. Poor little Adeline practically cried the whole flight, but I'm sure she had fun once we got there. She loved exploring all the new places.
DH: David Robert (27)
DW: Maria Renee (26)
DD: Adeline Renee (1)
Year 3
In April, we traveled to Berlin by train to celebrate David's brother's 30th birthday. We stayed there for almost a week. It was Adeline's first time on a train and also her first time seeing her cousins, Lucille and Maxwell. She had a blast playing with them.
DH: David Robert (28)
DW: Maria Renee (27)
DD: Adeline Renee (2)
Year 4
Adeline has shown an intrest in birds, so for her birthday we decided to get her a pet parakeet. We have heard they are good for starters. She loves to "play" with it. Even though it's a boy, she was determined to name it Lucy after her cousin Lucille. Adeline does not cry every morning when I leave for work, and even gets excited going to Grandma's house and to daycare.

hair: Brown; Wavy
eyes: Blue
Adam Kirchner, a 29-year old editor-in-chief of a small magazine, is vacationing in Germany with the goal of researching Kirchner genealogy. Unfortunately, Adam’s plan goes awry; he is injured in a bicycling accident while traveling in the German countryside. He is lucky to suffer no more than some bruises and a sprained wrist, but he is most fortunate to meet Hannelore, a 28-year old resident physician. As Hannelore patches Adam up, he convinces her to meet him for coffee in the evening. The couple hits it off, and is married in a private ceremony three months later.
Year 1: Hannelore and Adam have just settled into a home in rural Germany; she practices medicine nearby and he runs an online newspaper. Hannelore soon learns that she has conceived a honeymoon baby. Adam could not be happier, and so he prepares a beautiful nursery in the smallest bedroom of their farmhouse. After baby Beata birth on May 19th, Adam holds and rocks his daughter as much as he is able.
DH: Adam (30)
DW: Hannelore (29)
DD: Beata (nb)
Year 2: The Kirchners are the epitome of a happy family. Beata is a beautiful baby, the spitting image of her mother’s looks and intelligence. When Beata celebrates her first birthday, the Kirchners plan a massive party. Adam’s parents and younger sister fly in from Massachusetts to meet baby Beata for the first time. They are just as enamored with Beata as her parents are.
DH: Adam (31)
DW: Hannelore (30)
DD: Beata (1)
Year 3: On June 7th, Beata becomes a big sister, because Hannelore gives birth to baby Elisa. Beata is thrilled with the new addition and loves to greet her baby sister with kisses. Beata moves into a bigger bedroom, and Elisa settles into the small farmhouse nursery. When Adam checks on his sleeping infant daughter, he is surprised by the close resemblance she and Beata bear.

In 2012…
Raymond Salvador "Ray" Fischer, 24
Amal Hussein Noujaim, 26
We meet at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, where we are both studying--she to become a literature professor and I to become a doctor.
In 2012, marry (young) and soon become adoptive parents to a 13-year-old girl, Kate O'Connell, who lived down the hall from us and was clearly being neglected and mistreated.
In 2013, Amal gives birth to twin girls, Rita and Noor.
In 2014, Kate overdoses on cocaine and has to have her stomach pumped.
In 2015, we take a long recuperative summer in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
In 2016, Amal gives birth to triplet sons: Luke, Hani, and Qais.
In 2017, we celebrate the twins' and the triplets' summer birthdays together with a carnival-barbeque spectacular.
In 2018, Kate crashes her car and miscarries her baby.
In 2019, we return to Egypt for Amal's family reunion.
In 2020, Rita and Hani contract malaria during a vacation on a Nile riverboat.
In 2021, Amal dies suddenly, of an undiagnosed heart condition.
In 2022, Kate gives birth to a darling girl, Abbie Amal.
In 2023, we move to Berlin, where I am studying microbiology on a research fellowship.
In 2024, I fulfill my lifetime dream of publishing an article in the New England Journal of Medicine.
In 2025, 9-year-old Qais drowns tragically on a camping trip.
In 2026, Kate gives birth to a little boy, Alan Qais.
In 2027, we purchase an aquarium and filled it with exotic species.
In 2028, we celebrate my 40th birthday with lots of beer during Oktoberfest.
In 2029, we move to Shanghai, where I am beginning a new multi-year research fellowship.
In 2030, Rita dies of the same genetic heart condition that killed her mother, and I return to the Catholic Church of my childhood.
In 2031, Kate gives birth to a son, Finn. Noor leaves home for a year in India.
In 2032, Noor, the boys, and I take a trip back to Berlin to visit old friends.
In 2033, all 4 of my kids and 3 of my grandkids surprise me by organizing a reunion in Shanghai for my 45th birthday.

We live in Austria
where we both work as editors--Benny at a publishing house and me at a magazine:
in 2012, we fulfill our lifelong (since we met) dream of getting married;
in 2013, we take a long-anticipated trip to Ireland;
in 2014, we fulfill our dream of owning our own home, an apartment in Mariahilf, Vienna;
in 2015, we join my family for a very special Christmukkah in Mexico City;
in 2016, we adopt our first child, a 3-year-old girl from Austria whose name is Lisa Amelie; she has straight blonde hair and green eyes;
in 2017, I move from editing the front end of the magazine to the features;
in 2018, we sold our apartment and moved back to Manhattan, where we met;
in 2019, we spent three beautiful months in Provence with our daughter;
in 2020, a pair of red-tail hawks nested in the eaves of our building, and we got to see their two eyasses hatch;
in 2021, Benny was terribly injured when his cab got hit on the Westside Highway;
in 2022, for the first time, we shared all the Jewish holidays with Benny's parents at their house in Long Island;
in 2023, I surprised everyone by giving birth to a girl with wavy red hair and gray eyes, who we named Shaina Ruth;
in 2024, Benny tragically died;
in 2025, I gave birth to twin daughters conceived before Benny's death; they have wavy light brown hair and amber eyes, and I named them Bina Yehudis and Bluma Yocheved, after their father;
in 2026, we celebrated Lisa's bat mitzvah;
in 2027, Benny's mother, who had grown close to the girls, died;
in 2028, we moved to London, for a change in air;
in 2029, I gave birth to twin daughters again--the father is my boyfriend, Harith Afzal Khan, a fellow editor at the magazine; they have straight black hair and brown eyes and we named them Sarai Eshal and Isra Batul;
in 2030, I gave birth to my first son, Omar Abraham, who has black eyes, like his father, Harith, and oddly blondish hair;
in 2031, I get promoted to managing editor--now I'm Harith's boss!

DH: George
hair: Blonde; Wavy
eyes: Brown
DW: Miriam
hair: Brown; Straight
eyes: Gray
The Irving family lives in Sydney, Australia. Miriam, age 26, is a young politician who campaigns for animal welfare and ethical farming practices. Her husband, George, age 28, works as a veterinarian in a nearby animal hospital.
Year 1: The Irvings long to become parents, but Miriam is informed that her Polycystic Ovary Syndrome will compromise her fertility. Therefore, the Irvings decide to adopt a child from Russia; they bring home 3-year old Andrey in November. Andrey is a precocious child whose blue eyes sparkle with enthusiasm; by his birthday on December 11th, he can hold basic conversations in English.
DH: George (28)
DW: Miriam (26)
DS: Andrey (4)
Year 2: Miriam’s 20-year old cousin, Beth, attends university in England. She is a bright, successful student with great friends and a devoted boyfriend. However, Beth and her boyfriend unexpectedly conceive. Neither is ready to become a parent, but Beth knows a family that will be perfect for her unborn baby girl – the Irvings! When baby Caroline is born on October 3rd, the Irvings happily adopt her. She has the gray eyes that run in Miriam’s family.
DH: George (29)
DW: Miriam (27)
DS: Andrey (5); DD: Caroline (nb)
Year 3: When George turns 30 in July, he decides to celebrate by traveling to the Outback. He is thrilled to observe some of Australia’s native wildlife; the animals are a lovely change of scenery from the dogs and cats that George sees in his veterinary clinic.
DH: George (30)
DW: Miriam (28)
DS: Andrey (6); DD: Caroline (1)
Year 4: Miriam and George adore their role as parents, and cannot wait to welcome more children into their home. This time, they adopt 3-year old Michael and 2-year old Christopher, siblings from the Australian foster care system. Michael turns four on June 13th, and Christopher turns three on September 2nd. The boys are spitting images of each other, and their big brown eyes light up when given the opportunity to blow out the candles on their birthday cakes.

12. Adoption
AS: Mason Anthony Sparrow Starling
Just as Rupert and Sophie were starting to enjoy their life together, a tragedy happened. Sophie's sister, Chloe, got into a car accident. Also in the car was her infant son. Unfortunately, Chloe didn't survive. However, Mason (the infant son) only had a few scrapes and minor bruising. Since Chloe hadn't told anybody who the father was, and there was no one stepping up to claim the position, Rupert and Sophie decided that they had to adopt the little guy. Since he was so young, they decided to move Sparrow into a second MN position and to give him their last name. Little Mason had the same curly, honey colored hair as Sophie and gray eyes. Often, people would mistake him for their own, which suited Rupert and Sophie just fine.
FAMILY EVENT:
11. Move
Just as their life was getting settled and they were becoming used to this family thing, things became unsettled again. For the next year, Rupert, Sophie and little Mason moved every few weeks as Rupert had to scramble to keep the company above water as they were expanding. When Christmas came around, and there was still no end in sight, Sophie finally said enough was enough. She and little Mason moved back to England to be near her family and his. Rupert kept traveling, but visited every weekend he could.

Rupert finally managed to get the company settled and through the expansion. It's doing better then ever now.

Maid
Live in Omaha, NE
Year 1
This year I accomplished a long term goal of mine, I have quit the maid service that I worked at and started my own competing company. We are called Starshine Maid's Service. We provide weekly cleanings for people's homes.
Year 2
We got pregnant and had a little girl, Augusta Jane. She has brown, wavy hair just like her daddy and gray eyes. Jesse says his eyes used to be gray and turned blue later on in life.
Year 3
Pregnant again! We had a boy this time, Tobias Philip, or Toby. He has brown, straight hair and green eyes like me.
Year 4
Our neighbor's had a baby this year. Zoe and Clark Steed run the horse farm down the road. They had a little girl name Carrie Rose.
Year 5
We were asked to be godparents by Jesse's sister. They are expecting a little boy in a few months. Of course we said yes.
Year 6
Jesse bought some more land for the farm. Our neighbor's behind us decided that they didn't need as much land as they had. We've been eyeing that land for years.
Year 7
Although we live on a farm, we don't have any pets for the children. They're still a little young for a dog or cat, so we got a parakeet named Sally. The Augusta and Toby love to make noises at it for it to imitate.
Year 8
We decided to take a vacation this year. Augusta is 6 and Toby is 5, so they'll most likely remember it. We decided to go to Ireland. Although it's in neither one of our backgrounds, it has just always been some place we've wanted to go.

Only a few months after they had married, Silas and Jocelyn discovered that they were expecting! Jocelyn gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Ronan George has straight red hair and gray eyes.
Year 2:
A stray cat began showing up regularly on the Croftons's porch. They decided to adopt it. The cat's name is Bree.
Year 3:
Jocelyn found out on her birthday that she was pregnant with twin boys. They were born a little early, but they were just as healthy as Ronan. Declan Myles and Finley Alastar have curly black hair and green eyes.
Year 4:
Silas and Jocelyn have friends who live in Germany and work at an orphanage in Berlin. They had visited their friends before they were married, and had decided to adopt a child from there eventually. This year, they adopted a three-year-old girl named Johanna Gretchen from the orphanage. She has wavy brown hair and blue eyes.
Year 5:
Jocelyn had always had an interest in photography. This year, she decided to clean out the linen closet in their house to use as a darkroom. She taught herself using photography books she borrowed from the library. She takes pretty good photos for an amateur.
Year 6:
Silas and Jocelyn found out that they were going to have another baby! When they found out that it was a girl, Johanna was thrilled to have a baby sister. Catriona Maeve has curly red hair and brown eyes.

Emma and Greg live in Scotland, where Emma is a politician and Greg works as a janitor at the local schools.
Emma also has a little girl of four, whom she had when she was seventeen. Ella Miriam is very shy, but has taken to Greg as if her were her own father.

This is Isaac Victor. Isaac is a British boy of thirteen. Greg and Emma decided to adopt him when they found out about some of his "problems." He already has children of his own-- triplets.
Braxton Bennett, Britton Bertrand, and Bridgette Beryl are newborn babies. Bax, Bit, and Biddy were given to their daddy when their mommy decided she couldn't handle newborns at thirteen. Poor Isaac! At least now he has help.
Greg, 26, & Emma, 22
-Isaac, 13
--Bax, Bit, & Biddy, nb

Isaac is now fourteen and the triplets are now one. To celebrate their birthday, Emma and Greg decided to take them all on vacation to visit their biological maternal grandparents in England--with the permission of the grandparents, of course. Isaac is happy to visit his home again, and to let his kids see the home of their parents.

Greg and Emma decided that they needed to move. They had been living in an apartment, and it didn't have have enough space for three growing youngsters to run about. They have now moved to a large house.

I was feeling creative, so I turned mine into a bit of a narrative story.
LN: Bailey
DH: Oliver Lauren (25)
Hair: Short, straight, sandy brown
Eyes: Light blue
DW: Erin Ness (24)
Hair: Long, wavy, strawberry blonde
Eyes: Brown
Hi! I’m Erin Bailey, and this is my husband Oliver. He works as a journalist on our local newspaper here in Australia, and I’m a freelance photographer. I occasionally do work for Oliver’s paper, though. That’s how we met two years ago. Oliver was writing the story the newspaper wanted me to take photos for. We ended up collaborating to figure out what was best for the story, and we hit things off. We just married a month ago, and we’re excited to see what comes next!
1) We’ve been married for a year now. It’s been great, but we haven’t really gotten out of our own little world yet. Even for our honeymoon, we stayed in Australia. We just travelled to the coast. We decided it was time to go on a proper honeymoon, though, so we’re going to Europe. We plan to visit England, Scotland, and Wales before hopping across the “pond” to visit France, Germany, and a few other countries. We’re both beyond excited for this since neither of us travelled much as kids.
2) Oliver and I decided to adopt a pet. We love animals. He’s more of a reptile person, though, where I prefer things with fur. We were talking about adopting a dog or a cat, but we decided to go with something a little smaller. Somehow, we ended up with a gerbil. We decided to call it George. George the Gerbil, you know?
3) We decided to take another vacation. We enjoyed our first true vacation so much, we decided to travel a bit more. This time, we’re going to the United States. We’re going to try to visit all 50 states while we’re there.
4) We adopted another pet this year. We’re starting to see a bit of a trend, too. Vacation, pet, vacation, pet. Anyway, we got a horse this time! A friend of Oliver’s owns a stable near our house, so he’s helping us take care of it.

Event 1: Adoption
Luke & Kendall after years of trying for a child without success decided to look into adoption. They heard about an orphanage in Germany encouraging international adoptions due to the sheer number of children in it's care and decided to look into it. They intended to adopt a baby or toddler, but upon arriving met a lovely young lady named Katarina Sibylle Bach whom had been abandoned at the orphanage as a toddler and had lived there her whole life. The sixteen-year old girl enthralled them and they decided instead to adopt her, and bring her home to New York City.
Event 2: Family Event (Vacation)
Not long after bringing Kat home to America Luke and Kendall decided that it would be good for her to see more of her new home country. Luke took a month long leave of absence from work and they went on an old fashioned road trip around the country.

DH - Ian Francis Rose (41)
Hair - Blond, straight
Eyes - Blue
Job - Politician
DW - Jocelyn Margaret Frank (41)
Hair - Red, wavy
Eyes - Blue
Job - Farmer
Location - Austria
Year One
Ian threw a large party for his birthday at one of the bigger halls in town. Everyone 'important' came and Ian had a blast but I couldn't wait for it to be over.
Year Two
My Grandmother hosted a family reunion back in Canada, which we made sure to make it to, and we had a great time seeing everyone again. I reconnected with my cousins and some of my grade school friends and can't wait until I get to see them again.
Year Three
Name - Charlotte Alena (17)
Hair - Black, straight
Eyes - Violet
Name - Georgiana Rebekka (17)
Hair - Black, straight
Eyes - Violet
Name - Adelaide Kristin (17)
Hair - Black, straight
Eyes - Violet
I gave birth to our first children, identical triplet girls, and they are certainly a handful! It's all I can do to take care of them, especially since Ian has been focusing more on his politics of late.
Year Four
We hosted our family's Easter celebration this year, it was a big affair and very expensive but worth it to see everyone and show off the girls.
Year Five
Name - Henri Alain (28)
Hair - Brown, wavy
Eyes - Green
We adopted a boy from France this year. He's a good, strong boy with a few behavioural problems but we're confident that with some therapy for loosing his parents he will get better. Henri's great with the girls and loves to take care of the horses on our farm.
Year Six
Ian's secretary had a baby and, since her and Ian are rather close, we went to her son's christening. He cried the whole time, never seeming to take a breath, but I suppose that means he's strong.
Year Seven
We traveled to the United States to visit my ailing Grandfather. Unfortunately, he passed away while we were there and Ian kept holding me and saying that it was going to be alright, even though I wasn't very upset. I will miss him, but I hadn't seen the man since I was twelve.
