[Games] Round 1....
in reply to a message by Siân
The Rodriguez-Shafir family had only been living in their new home of Italy for a few weeks when Cate discovered she was pregnant. It was a big of a shock for the couples, as they had planned to hold off on having kids for a few more years, just until they got the hang of living a nomadic life. Still, by the time baby Molly arrived, everyone was thrilled and ready for her. Cate and Carlos decided to name her after Carlos's mother, Maria, and they liked the name Alessia, and so their child came to be named Mary Alessia. The family has decided to call her Molly for short. Molly has blonde hair and blue eyes, eyes that Kate thinks may change color later on in her lifetime. Cate, Carlos, Talia, and Elad have decided that they will parent their children together. Cate will be known as mom, Talia as ima, Elad as abba, and Carlos as papa. Molly is a very happy baby and loves to be held, especially by either of her two mothers.

Round 2Round 2:.P.The Shafir-Rodriguez Family:DH: Elad Shafir (25)
DW: Talia Shafir (25)DH: Carlos Manuel Rodriguez (29)
DW: Catherine Jane "Cate" Rodriguez (27)
DD: Mary Alessia "Molly" Rodriguez (0)The whole family are excited to find out that they are anticipating another arrival. Molly is almost two and the couples have become pros at the nomadic, parenting lifestyle. Despite this, will adding another child throw a kink in their dynamic? How will the arrival of another baby alter the couples’ adventurous lifestyle?
The sex and name of the child is your choice, but either their first or middle name must start with the letter Y or A.
Also, either use a picture or give us a short description of this child’s appearance.

DS: Amit Jean Paul (nb)DH: Carlos Manuel Rodriguez (31)
DW: Catherine Jane "Cate" Rodriguez (29)
DD: Mary Alessia "Molly" Rodriguez (2)A few weeks after Molly was born the family left Italy for Spain and soon after left Spain for France. Right before their departure from Spain, Tali discovered she was pregnant. Although it was planned, Tali was still worried when she found out. Molly had proven to be an ima's girl, above anything, and she did not want to ruin her relationship with the little girl (and at the same time, she worried that if both children were drawn to her it could cause Cate to feel resentment to her, and Cate was her best friend). Fortunately that was not the case. After the birth of Amit, the family decided to spend an extra few months in France, adapting to being a family of six, before moving on to a new country.The days of the family go on at a relatively slow pace. Every morning Elad and Carlos head to work at their hospital, a small, nearby one. Molly attends a nearby preschool, something Tali insisted on so that the little girl learns the language. Then, Cate watches the baby while Tali works as a blogger (Cate's father's best friend's fifth wife expressed interest in their lifestyle, when she heard about it, and offered to pay them to blog about it). After their work is done, Cate and Tali do the chores, and Tali eventually heads over to the preschool to pick up her favorite little blondie. Weekends are always fun for the family. Carlos, Tali, Elad, and Cate take turns planning what to do, each getting their own weekend per month. Sometimes they take the kids with them, and other times they leave Molly and Amit with the sitter. Molly speaks French fluently now, as well as Spanish, and the parents are working on English, Italian, and Hebrew with her. They hope, one day, she will thank them for her unusual upbringing.
