Millie sells her second and third novel, and now the family has the luxury or being moderately wealthy. However, Fritz grew up on the family farm, and has a strong work ethic. So, instead of wallowing in their new semi-wealth, they continue to live much as they had before.However, the family has done some renovations done to the house. The family now has 4 bedrooms upstairs along with a classroom/playroom. Downstairs, the kitchen and bathroom has been updated to include the latest modern touches. Also, there are two "master suites" on opposite ends of the downstairs for the grandparents and parents.They also built a dorm near the barn for the help to live in. There are 4 bedrooms, a kitchen space and a double bathing room. Two of the bedrooms contain 2 bunks, and the other two contains a large bed. The rooms with only 1 bed are for the two couples who live and work on the dairy farm.They employ:
* an elderly couple whose own farm burnt down 6 years ago and lost everything. She cooks for the group of guys, while he does all of the light work.

DD: Courtnie Shannon 4/13/1914Charlie was rather upset that none of his new siblings were boys, but he's taken a liking to Cadie, who is bit of a tomboy. Emilie's had some heart troubles, so we've been moving from city to city trying to find a doctor that can help us. Elizabeth's 'clients' as she likes to call them were just devastated when they learned Elizabeth was leaving. However, all the other pharmacies in the area waved a cheerful farewell to Adam, who was their biggest competition.
Evie and Ivie are in 6th grade now and as thick as thieves. We're happy because since we move so often they don't have much of a chance to make friends. Adam's Aunt Hila makes dire predictions about jealousy and competition in later years, but Hila was always a cross old soul. Charlie's 7 and enjoys school immensely. He's very popular.
Emilie can't go to normal school like her brother and sisters soElizabeht's sister Ann lives with them now. She's Emilie's godmother and is now going to be her tutor also.

With it, they bought a larger house.They haven't added to their family much in the last five years, but young Zanti fell in love last year. Britt and Rosemme were not ones to deny love, so now their fifteen year old daughter is engaged to a seventeen year old boy named Rory Simon Townsend.
