DW: Adelaide Frances
DH: Liam Jedidiah
Location: Baltimore, MD
Year 1 - Move (quiz result Denmark)
Ada's job meant relocating to Copenhagen. Unfortunately Liam's job was less transferable, but he is a flexible sort of guy and is willing to support his wife's career path as it takes a successful turn.
Year 2 - Dog (quiz result Border Collie)
After a year in Copenhagen and realizing how dog-friendly the places and people are, Ada and Liam decide to get a dog. They find a rescue border collie mix named Monty. He's friendly, a little on the older side, plenty energetic, and has an annoying habit of snuggling in between the two while they are in bed. He also eats socks.
Year 3 - Travel (quiz result Catskills)
Partially for family visit back to the States, but partially for a long getaway, Ada and Liam book an autumn trip to the Catskills for a bit of hiking, leaf-peeping, scenery, and cozying up by cabin fires.
Year 4 - Birth (quiz results Ivy Joanna)
Soon after New Year, Ada finds out she is pregnant, which is a relief. Although they hadn't actively been trying, she had been off birth control for the past year and a half and she was getting concerned, even though she is only 30. Financially, they aren't in any hardship (thanks in part to the services provided by the Danish government) but need to think about saving for a bigger apartment, as their one-bedroom in Copenhagen is feeling a bit cramped with the new baby gear. Little Ivy Joanna is born on October 2, a bit of a noisemaker and, it seems as she grows older and develops more personality, musically inclined.
Year 5 - Move (quiz result Norway)
This time, it's Liam's job that requires a move, although closer than the last one. They move to Norway, deciding to reside outside Oslo where the job is, closer to a national park.
Year 6 - Birth (quiz result August Eli)
Two months before Ivy's second birthday, August Eli is born on July 19th. They realize quite early on that he is on the whole more active than his sister... a lot more active. Breakable things are very quickly put away when he begins to crawl. Ivy adores him however, and he loves his big sister.
