[Games] Making a family - Step 2
Time for another letter to your friends and family! Your first child(ren) are now in pre-school and you are expecting a new addition - either a pet or you are adopting a child (or children). If you have three or more children now, you need to move. If you have two children or are getting a pet, you need to redecorate your spare bedroom for your second child/pet.

Well it that time again for the yearly update.
Brian and Josh have finally convinced me to get a dog. We got him from the pound for Josh's birthday. We named the dog Rascal. We got out the Christmas decorations this week and Rascal had a great time chasing the lights as Brian tried to put them up.
Josh is four now and started preschool in Sept. He likes it and begs to go which makes his mommy a little sad that he is so eager to leave her. JOsh has two best friends named Bennett (Ben) and Matt.
See everyone soon.

PS We are redoing the computer room. Rascal seems to think the wires are chew toys. So the computers are moving into the master bedroom and the computer room is turning into a playroom. Josh 'helped' paint the walls; you an tell where he helped.
Dear family and friends,
Amalia and Bella are now in preschool, and now we are adopting Gabriel Henry. He is six months old. Since our house is too small for all five of us, we've decided to move to a new house with much more room. Our new address is:
120 Whitman Rd,
Needham, MA.
02492, USA
Love,
Hannah, Chris,
Amalia, Bella, and Gabe.

Hi everyone! How are you all?
We're all doing really well, especially Ben. He just started at nursery school three days a week and he absolutely loves it, especially finger painting. I've never seen him come so messy but he just adores drawing and art - definitely something he gets from his dad rather than from me!
Also we went down to the animal shelter a few days and got a really cute kitten. She's called Daisy and she's white with tabby patches. Apparently her last owner just left her in a cardboard box at the side of the main road. I swear I will never understand how cruel some people can be to animals. But we took her home and Ben absolutely adores her. She thinks the world of him too; I came into his room this morning and she was lying all curled up in his blankets, bless her!

Hello from the Caner family.
With our new addition to the family (Adopted infant Luciana Eve) the Caner's are moving! We've bought a cute stand alone home in a suburb of San Francisco. It's lovely and perfect for our blossoming family. It's a four bedroom with a den and a huge Great room. I absolutly adore it!
Love,
Sam, Evan, Ivy, Sandy and Lucy.

Jon and I have found a lakeside, country farm house not too far from where we live now. We will be moving next month and the girls are all very excited. They house is much bigger than the one we have now and the girls will be getting their own bedrooms! Stella has decided to decorate her room in "Hello Kitty", Jules want's to decorate her room in the "Dora the Explorer" and Gwen will be decorating her room in different shades of the color purple.
Dear Friends & Family,
I can't believe how time has just flied by. Augustus is already in Kindergarten (German Kindergarten, which is like Preschool) at a local church, St. Michaels. Granted, were not a religious family but it was the best in the area for the best price (free). To celebrate Augustus' 1st day at school we adopted a new addition to our family. This weekend I took him to the animal shelter to pick out his new best friend (that's what he refered to it as). He picked out an adorable Calico who is less than a year old. I've never had kittens before, but Augustus just fell in love w/ her from the moment we got there that i couldn't resist. When i asked him what he wanted to name his new kitty he said, 'Kitty'. Not very imaginative, but that's what he wanted. Well, I hope you all can come by to meet Kitty.

PS. I forgot to mention that Augustus made Kitty a little room of her own. Well, technically it's in his wardrobe. On the bottom of the wardrobe he put in the little kitty bed we got for her & all her toys plus 2 little dishes for food & water. She likes it in there, but most of the time she's w/ Augustus
Hey all!
Niall and I are in the midst of looking for a new place because of the new baby. Does anyone have suggestions of nice places near by? We want it to be close to a school for Dean because he's going into pre-school now! Kai says hi to everyone, and I attached a picture of him playing with his new train (thanks Grandma!) I also attached one of cutie Dean in his preschool play. Talk to ya later!

Dear Loved-Ones,
Harry and I already have three children, and now we've decided to bring in another. This time, we are adopting a baby girl from Russia. We've already decided on a name for our new addition, Vanessa Giovanna, after my mother. Davy and Rae-Rae are very excited about their new little sister. Mikey doesn't completely understand this yet, but I'm sure he'll also be happy when he sees Nessa. Of this does mean that we have to move. We have been searching and currently have two possible choices for our new house. The children aren't two happy about the move, but I'm sure they'll love their new house once we move in. We will be staying within the town, so there's no need to worry about where we're going. We'll give you more information as the moving process goes on.
Much love from the Katz family

Dear Everyone,
Our house has been very busy. Daphne has moved out of her nursery and into her big-girl room because she is now a pre-schooler. The nursery is making room for the bun in the oven, who will be named Miles Elliot or Violet Josephine. We are anxiously anticipating this little one. See you all soon!

Dear Jane,
Annie and Kate are now in preschool. They love it. The girls are indentical but it's funny how different their styles are. Annie is the tomboy, she has long wavy hair usually worn in two braids. She likes to wear overalls or jeans most of the time with her red hightops. Eliza is the girly girl, with chin length blonde hair pulled to the side with a bow usually. She likes dresses and Mary-Janes. We just had our new baby, Eliza Genevieve. Eliza was born July 8th and weighed 8lbs 6 oz. She has big blue eyes and blonde fuzzy hair, but looks completely different from Annie and Kate. Farer skin and looks like she might get freckles across her nose. We've had to move into a new house because we didn't have enough room in the old cottage we used to live in. The new house is out on John's Island. It's actually an old plantation house that Ben is restoring for us. It's mostly done except for the attic which we plan on turning into a play room for the girls. We had to extensively restore everything, but it's absolutely beautiful and we got it for a steal. All of the rooms have fire places (even the bedrooms) Annie and Kate each have their own rooms which they are very happy about. Annie's room is painted a beautiful china blue color. The curtains are sheer and white, and the bedspread is white except for the embroidery along the edges which is the same china blue as the walls. Annie's initials are embroidered into her pillows in the same blue as well. Her bed is the big four poster that was in her nursery which now has a canopy of very light blue toile with a white background.

Dear friends and family -
We are experiencing some big changes in our family. Grace celebrated her 3rd birthday in July and is in pre-school this year! We are expecting twins on Christmas day and we have decided to get Grace a puppy. Due to this expansion, we are moving from our two bedroom house to an old Victorian across town that has 6 bedrooms!
Hope you're all doing as great as we are!
Love,
Chelsea and Nathan

Sasha Arkady & Mikhail Isidor "Arky & Mika" 1
Bear is now in pre-school he is doing very very well, he is doing some kindergarten work in reading and writing. He has now got beautiful blonde hair and hazel eyes. He is learning Cello
We have now adopted two boys Sasha and Mikhail from Russia. They are bright bubbly boys who speak english very well (surprisingly!). They have gorgeous long curly black hair and very dark blue eyes.
We are now moving to a bigger house to allow for more room for the boys, Pierre needs a study/library and Bear needs a music room! So we have moved into a large 5 bedroom home with a large library and the backyard is huge!

Dear all,
I'm sure you are all wondering how our weekend in Colombia went. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. We left the twins with my mother for the weekend while we went to bring our new baby girl home. Elodia Fortunata is doing fine. She is a very active eight month old baby - she has already found a dozen weak spots in our child proofing! The twins just love their little sister, although tend to deny her existance when they want us to leave the baby to play with them. River has taken to her especially well - he loves to play mommy's little helper!
River and Lilith have started pre-school this week. Both of them already have their own group of friends, although, River being less prone to rough-housing like many of the othe boys, there is a lot of overlap in their friendships. Lilith loves all the dress-up clothes and baby dolls in her classroom. She and her friends Gemma, Gracie and Alana love to play house together. River loves all of the art supplies - especially the paint. He comes home nearly every day with paint splotches on his sleeves. River likes to play rock stars with his friends Shawn, Katie and Maria.
We'll be moving out of our little bungalow next month - our family has outgrown our comfy little home! Our new house is 683 Sandwood Cresent. It is a two story four bedroom house, so all of the kids get to have their own room.
I'll write again soon,
Shannon
