DD/DD: Laurel Grace / Emily Lisa (light green, honey blond) -1 monthKate and Wallace are doing fantastic. Wallace is doing great at the hospital, and Kate is having fun being a stay-at-home mom with their FOUR kids! They were very, very happy when the doctor said they were having girls- they didn't even realize they were going to be parents to twins! Once the doctor repeated himself, they were stunned, then ecstatic! Kate misses her publishing job and has decided to write a book that she will (hopefully) have published at her old company when the twins are a bit older and she has some spare time, but without a doubt, she loves being a full time mom.Nick LOVES first grade. He goes to Delianton Elementary, and his teacher's name is Miss Edalrie. She is a fantastic teacher and has given very good reports about Nick. Nick is still a very 'sporty' boy, he loves soccer and is on a team with his three best friends, Nolan, Philip, and Jacob. He is a very good reader and though math bores him a bit, he is doing fine.

4 years after our new son Ryan Jeffery was born, Aaron (mn Tyler)and I were welcoming twin girls into this family. We decided to name them Sage Lauren, and Madison Taylor. They look just like their father! Recently, Nathanael turned 6 and moved on to grade 1. He has a few new subjucts in his class, and seems tonot enjoy "Social Studies." He claims it is difficult to understand and hard to do his papers on it. But Aaron and I bought him work books that have to do with this subject, and "it explains it more" he says. So far, so good. Also Ryan started pre-school not too long ago. He goes two days a week and says he loves it! I'm also having peace and quite with the girls without having to run around the house, Tuesday and Friday. Ryan is a very active child. why can't they have pre-school everyday? It keeps him busy and out of trouble, sometimes. Like last year, my husband got a raise at work, and decided it was a good idea to get a trampoline. I mean those SERIOUS trampolines! A big one... Okay so Ryan and Nathanael, were jumping along then they started fighting and and when Nathanael started coming at him, Ryan jumped off the trampoline and landed on his arm. Broke a bone in his wrist and two in his arm. His surgeries are done, and his scar is almost all the way healed. Luckily we bought one of those net things for the trampoline.

Suprise! We had twin girls - Augusta Skye & Nicolette Lara. We had a fertility problem so we used treatments after 3 years of no other children after Elliot. Then we got twins and are very happy they are are girls. Now we have two boys and two girls. Augusta and Nicolette are 1 months now and are a 8 1/2 & 9 lbs. They are very good eaters and very content plump, pinks babies with lots of black hair!Javor is now 6 and started first grade recently. He really enjoys school and seems to be excelling at it. His favorite subject is Math and Science. The only problem, is the day gets to be a bit too long for him and his a bit crabby in the evenings. So to make life easier on him, I make a meal in the crockpot, go pick him up, we walk a long way so it tires the boys out, they eat, bath and are in bed by 6:30pm. The extra sleep is helping him out a lot. Elliot is 4 now and has started going to pre-school two days a week. He seems to really enjoy it too and has made two friends: Freddie a redhaired little boy full of energy and Becca a little girls with an equal amount of spunk. Elliot also broke it first bone, his left arm. Javor and Elliot decided it would be fun to ride the wagon down the flight of our stairs. Of course that didnt turn out so well. The wagon tipped, Elliot in front and Javor behind, Javor fell on top of Elliot as it flipped and skidded down the stairs. However, the broken arm didn't slow him down. Next week He and Freddie and Becca were clibing trees in the school yard!

DD/DD: Hope Laura / Liana Skye (dark blue, dark brown)Teagan just started first grade and doing very well. He is very intelligent and has done well integrating this new, more hectic schedule into his life. He is a very shy child which makes it hard for him to open up to the new kids, but he's doing better as time goes on.Elliot loves preschool. He's really social and loves playing with the kids. He broke his left wrist last year doing handstands to impress the neighbor's daughter. Although it's perfectly mended by now, he hasn't given up his antics. He could be a gymnast someday :-)

DS: Ronald Yale "Ron" (green, dark brown)
DS: Alexander Elliot (brown, dark brown)
DD/DD: Grace Nicolette / Laura Patience (brown, light brown)So much has changed. Ron recently started first grade. Luckily he got into the same class as his best-friend, I was worried he would have a hard time adjusting to making new friends but I think with one friend already in the class, it's making things easier. The only hard thing is that he is having a horrible time adjusting to having to get up so early in the morning and go to school all day. In Kindergarten he only went a half day, his half being the afternoon class. I think it'll take a while for him to get used to everything. Until then we'll just have to deal with him fussing each morning at having to go to school.Alexander has also started school, Pre-school that is. Only two days a week but he seems to enjoy it. I think it was harder on us than him. This was the first time he's been in any type of school/other care program. We've noticed him playing with a little girl named Carrie in his class when we come to pick him up. So far I think that's the only friend he's made but he doesn't seem to mind too much, he's always been a bit of a loner. Also his hand has healed up nicely. He gave us the fright of his life last year when playing outside a large block fell on top of his left hand and he broke one of the bones.And our last news is the birth of our little girls Grace and Laura.

DD/DD: Leah Summer & Ciara Lauren (green, brown)Seamus is six this year and has started first grade which he loves though it is a bit different than his kindergarden year which Lila homeschooled him for so he was having a bit of trouble at first staying on top of things and getting along with other kids in his class but we are working through it and he now has several friends.Alec is four and since the birth of our twins we have decided to put him in pre-school, and he seems to be enjoying it and has made a few friends. Last year he broke his wrist when he and Seamus were running and he fell. He had a cast on for several months but got it off just in time for his birthday party!Trevor's vetrinary postion is doing well. Lila's time is devoted to the twins, our presious daughters, though she does somehow find time to write a chapter or two in the evening and a new book should be published sometime this year.

DD/DD: Rebekah June & Augusta Lorraine Frederick is having some trouble adapting to school all day. he enjoys it, but he'd much rather be at home. he's more fond of passive resistance than throwing tantrums. Caitlin & i are trying not to make a big deal out of it. he's doing better now.
Alexander likes pre-school & considers everyone there his friend. i think he'd go everyday if he could. last yr our little adventurer had a very bad accident. 1 day we took the boys to the park. Alexander ran off to play on the jungle gym. that day there was another little boy there terrorizing all the other children so they were too afraid to get on the jungle gym. Alexander was the only 1 who didn't seem to care. well, this other boy didn't like that. As Alexander was about to go down the slide, the other boy pushed him. Alexander lost his footing & fell all the way to the ground. he was such a brave boy, but when that happened my heart fell to my feet. i think caitlin & i were more hysterical
Caitlin & i are trying not to get in the habit of always refering to Rebekah & Augusta as the twins or anything similar. they're identical, but couldn't be more different. Rebekah does everything she can to get attention, while Augusta is more serious.

Despite him loving school he is having a rough time adjusting into school, I'm a bit worried about it. He's been in trouble trying to do his own things at school and one time he didn't return from lunchtime. He had run home to play with his toys. I was very angry and took him straight back, I made him promise me not to do that again or I'll take those toys off him.Jeff (4) has started going to pre-school two days a week. He loves it! He has made friends with a few other kids. He broke his wrist last year. He had been trying to be like big brother Noah. Noah was climbing a try and Jeff decided he could to. But he slipped and fell on his wrist.

DS: Titus Irving (blue-green, light brown) - 6
DS: Elliot Fred (blue-green, dark brown) - 4
DD/DD: Leila May / Lana Summer (blue-green, dark brown) - 1 month oldJust when Morgaine and Arthur had gotten used to life with their two boys Titus and Elliot a surprise news shocked the whole family. While taking the Pill, Morgaine became pregnant again!
And not only with one, but with twins!
What a lovely news, even if the pregnacy didn't go as well as before. Morgaine became really upset with this, as she couldn't be up and about with her two boys. Luckily the family helped them in this difficult time. Titus was supposed to start school last year, but as he is very shy and introverted, they decided to let him stay at home another year. He could allready read, so this was no problem and Arthur and Morgaine did a bit of schoolwork with him at home. The helped him settle in school by taking him once a week for the morning and slowly increasing the length for half a year.
The only subject he isn't adjusting to very well is P.E.. He just isn't the kid who likes to run around, his favourite place is his little greenhouse he got for his 5th birthday where he grows little flowers and peas and looks at bugs under the microscope. If somebody is looking for him, no matter what weather or time of the day, this is where you will find him.

DD/DD: Rachel Grace / Riley Hope (grey, light brown)Ethan is now a first grader and is doing very well. He does, however, have problems with outbursts in class. He likes to talk when the teacher is and has a hard time paying attention and sitting still. Rob and Marie have been talking privately with Ethan on how to control himself during class and we believe it is in fact helping him. Despite his behavior, Ethan gets straight A's and has no trouble whatsoever making friends! Nathan has been going to preschool 2 days a week. Being as quiet as he is, Nathan prefers sitting in class listening to the teachers than socializing with the others. He tends to stay by himself during free times and is very clingy to the teachers. Nathan broke his arm last year when he was sneaking out of the house at summertime and was trying to ride Ethan's tricycle. We brought Nathan to the hospital where they observed him and wrapped his arm. Nathan hasn't tried to ride Ethan's tricycle since.Rachel and Riley are so different from each other. Riley lives up to her name by being hyper and active.

DD/DD: Reagan Faith / Madison Leah "Addie" (blue, auburn)Initially, Rhett had a hard time making the transition to being at school all day, but he now seems to be liking it very much, except for one problem. Because he's so quiet and shy, he sometimes gets picked on by one of his classmates. Allen, on the other hand, is the complete opposite of Rhett. Allen is energetic, mischievous, and outgoing. He loves pre-school and has made several friends. He's always running around, causing mayhem and getting into trouble. In fact, just last year he tried standing on top of the tire swing in the backyard, and ended up falling and breaking his wrist. Both boys love helping take care of their new baby sisters, Reagan and Addie, who have the same lovely auburn hair as their brothers, and Allen's blue eyes.

DD/DD: Madison Faith / Reagan Hope (blue, honey blond), 1 monthGabriel recently started the first grade. He considers himself a big boy now ("practically grown up," from his point of view). At first, he had a difficult time being away from Mommy and Daddy for the whole day, but he's adjusted quite well and has made friends with everyone in his class. His teacher says that he is a very bright student who loves to make everyone laugh. But because he is always so energetic, he often becomes bored and thus gets in trouble easily.Alec is in preschool and is exactly like his big brother. He refused to let go of my hand when we dropped him off on the first day, but once he saw all the toys in the room, he practically forgot about us. He is very social and outgoing and has many friends. He's just like his brother and can't ever sit still. Two weeks ago, he fell off the jungle gym during recess and broke his arm. Of course, we were worried to death, but all he cared about was the cast and getting everyone he knew to sign it.A month ago, Emily and I welcomed into the world our twins, two girls whom we named Madison and Reagan. Gabriel and Alec were disappointed at first because they weren't boys, but now they love their baby sisters to death and always want to help out.

DD/DD: Leila Summer / Augusta Sage "Gus"Tristan is entering the first grade at the local boarding school. He doesnt board because we live so close. He adores school and fits in very well, he is extremely popular and it seems like he brings home a new friend every day. Tristan is still obsessed with History and Archaeology, the teachers have let him go to some of the older classes to do history with them. He is still doing ballet and playing trumpet and piano.
Elliot loves going to pre-school. He definately wants to follow his big brother to big school. Elliot is a bit of a trouble maker like Tristan was, but Elliot is a little monkey and it seems that we get a call a week about how he is climbing up everythign. Last week he actually climbed up a drain pipe. Elliot loves swimming, gymnastics, ballet and playing the clarinet.We were so happy to hear that we were expecting twins, we assumed they would be boys as well so they are a bit of a surprise! We were going to call one of the boys August, so we thought Augusta would be perfect!

The one tough part of our schedule is that I have to leave for work at 4am, and so I have to wake Landon and Alex to drop them off at Nette's where Landon and Julia catch the bus. Nette drops Alex and Corey (her four year old son) off at Daycare two days a week, and watches the boys the other three. Last year, Alex broke his colour bone when he fell off his horse. Bekah and Tash are doing great, they go to the daycare at John's school.

Con insisted on naming one of the girls Sage, just because he liked the name so much. The babies demand a lot of attention and they have a bad habbit of starting to cry when the other just stopped. Jago and Kyle are taking the arrival of their new sisters pretty well, at first Jago was disappointed they were girls but he likes them now. He started in the first grade and he likes being around other children. He doesn't have a lot of patience to sit still and learn, but he makes up for it by being a quick learner. The teacher has complained that he can't sit still and often get's out of his chair in the middle of class. Skylar and Con have talked to him about it and he says he finds class a bit boring, and that he can't sit still when he has finished an assignment. They talked to his teacher and now he gets extra assignments to prevent him from getting bored, it work out okay.

DD/DD: Leila Summer/ Sienna Skye (blue, dark brown) Lockie has just started school and he's liking it so far. He's a very energetic boy and this tends to get him into trouble as he gets bored easily. He's very much like his Dad in that he lives for the beach, he can already surf! Kyle is now at pre-school and he's such a social little boy so he absolutely loves it! He's friends with pretty much everyone. He gave us fright last year when he and Lockie were outside playing and Kyle fell out of a tree and broke his arm. Both boys adore their new little sisters, Leila and Sienna.

DD/DD: Faith Riley Autumn / Reagan Mckayla Patience (blue-green, dark brown)Well for one, Tori just moved out, she's now 19 and in her first year at the university of Cork. She still comes home on the weekends to see us- Xander and her have such a great relationship and he misses her during the week so much.
Xander is now 6 and in first grade, it is amazing how fast he grew up! Recently while Damian and the band has been touring he and I have been staying home because of having to go to school everyday- which he has been upset about because he loves touring with his daddt and he gets very jealous of Nathan when he gets to go alone, so we decided that we would redecorate the house- we have been doing one room each time he's been gone and are now on our 4th room! Xander is still quiet, although when you get him with the band he is loud and obnoxious- as well as when its just the two of us, or his daddy and him. He hasn't taken a great liking towards school either- he thinks that its a waste of time because he could just learn it when we're traveling. He's such a bright little boy though- and he still loves animals so much.
Nathan is now 4 and is the complete opposite of Xander!

DH: Shiloh Jack (hazel, brown)
DS: Alasdair Seth "Ali" (green, light brown)
DS: Alexander Jeffrey "Lex" (green, blond)
DD/DD: Leila Sage / Sienna May (green-grey, blond)Mila and Shiloh are pleased to report that Alasdair is doing very well in the first grade. His teacher says he's very bright and plays well with the other children. For the most part, he has adjusted well to the transition from kindergarten to elementary school, but because he only attended kindergarten in the afternoon, it has taken him some time to get used to being at school and away from his parents for the entire day. Sometimes his mom or dad comes to visit him at lunch time, and that seems to help ease his separation anxiety.Lex loves preschool, although, like Alasdair, he doesn't like being separated from mommy and daddy, and often cries when they drop him off. However, his teacher reports that it usually only takes him a few minutes to calm down and start playing with the other kids. He even has a girlfriend, an adorable redheaded girl named Cecilia. Lex says that he's going to marry her, but he wants to wait until they're at least twelve.Lex's favorite part of the playground is the swingset, although it took him a while to stop being afraid of it after falling off a swing last year and breaking his wrist. Fortunately he's a very resiliant child, and all he remembers about the ordeal is that he got a cool cast on his arm and a lot of people gave him presents.
