Year 11- Briar and Aurora go to Mittelscule, Briar testing at Haptschule levels and Aurora at Realschule. Lila gets into Gymnasium, much to the excitement of the family. The girls are sad they won't be at the same school, but Aurora and Briar are thankful they are together. The family moves to a new house, just a few streets from their old one. (Ignatz-35, Val-34, Aurora & Lila & Briar-11)Year 12- Valquíria has a surprise daughter. The family is astonished, but there she is, Allegra Kate Meier. Unlike the triplets, she has Ignatz blond hair, but carries Val's darker skin tone & dark brown eyes. Briar and Aurora adore Allegra, but Lila doesn't like her that much. Briar wonders why. Could it be the diaper changing or sleepless nights? (Ignatz-36, Val-35, Aurora & Lila & Briar-12, Allegra-0)Year 13- Teenagerhood is here! The family visits Salvador on vacation. Avó loves baby Allegra. The girls enjoy returning to Brazil. (Ignatz-37, Val-36, Aurora & Lila & Briar-13, Allegra-1)Year 14- Briar tries to join a band and gets in! She can't wait to improve her bass skills and play in music festivals with her new friends. (Ignatz-38, Val-37, Aurora & Lila & Briar-14, Allegra-2)Year 15- Briar and Aurora graduate from Mittelschule with their Realchulabschlusses. Briar desperately wishes she could go to university, but only Gymnasium students can do that. She and Aurora apply for an Ausbildungsplatz so they can go to Berufsschule, Briar in graphic design and Aurora in electrical engineering. Briar asks Lila if she should write as well as illustrate. Lila says "Go for it." Briar begins online writing classes as well as starting Berufsschule and learning her third language, Portuguese (after German (obviously) and English (for school)). Her parents worry this will be too much. (Ignatz-39, Val-38, Aurora & Lila & Briar-15, Allegra-3)Year 16- Ignatz turns 40. He feels like he's getting to old too fast. Briar gets a pet pancake tortoise as a gift from Sylvia, who accidentally got two. Briar names him Rowdy. Ignatz and Valquíria don't mind as long as Briar takes care of him. Aurora and Lila don't like him, while Allegra adores him. (Ignatz-40, Val-39, Aurora & Lila & Briar-16, Allegra-4, Rowdy-33)

You dream of all the new stuff you'll get to do...you shouldn't have, because as it turns out, middle school is trash, but, oh well. You join a club at school! Hurrah! It's a chess club since you really like playing chess with your dad(though he always beats you). You play a bunch of matches, and you're really good. You even win against the chess teacher herself!Year 12DH:[33]Robin Charley Knight

D2 [0] Heather Laura AshworthAnother daughter, Heather, is born. Bronwyn's pregnancy came as a surprise to the whole family, not only due to her age, but also because the memory of their late son, Brian, remained fresh in their minds. Brendan is working as a car mechanic, saving up for his own flat, and Shane is writing his GCSES this year, hoping to get into a good university to study physics - both are beginning their adult lives and moving away soon, so a much younger sibling is a huge surprise. Kelly isn't thrilled to be deposed once from the role of the youngest in the family. Denver and Bronwyn, however, are smitten with Heather.
