It wasn't long after JJ's birth that Beth found out she was pregnant again! Two weeks after JJ's first birthday, she and Joey welcomed their third daughter, Mary Isabelle Martin to the family. The new addition isn't finished yet. Joey had to use the money when both Louisa and Samantha came down with scarlet fever. Thankfully, both girls pulled through just fine. Now, with six people cramped into three rooms the house really is too small. Joey, Beth, and the two babies (JJ and Mary) sleep in the bedroom while Louisa and Samantha sleep on a trundle bed in the living room. Joey and Beth love all of their children and wouldn't trade them for anything. Louisa started school in the fall and has been learning so much! Samantha has taken over a lot of Louisa's daytime chores, but she doesn't mind too much because she has Mommy all to herself while JJ and Mary nap.

Surname: Blumstein
DH: Sebastian Kai Blumstein "Seb" [42]
DW: Katja Josephine (Leitner) Blumstein [40]
DS/DS: Andrew Lysander Blumstein / Daniel Lucian Blumstein [10]
DS: Benjamin Castor Blumstein [8]
DD: Heather Juliet Blumstein [5 - blind]
DD: Xanthe Lyric Blumstein [1]
Seb is in the US Navy, along with Katja's older brother, Johannes. Johannes introduced them through email three years ago, and they first met a year later when Johannes and Seb went on shore leave. Katja graduated from college with a dual major in criminal psychology and crime scene investigation and got a job on the Manhattan police force last year. Seb and Katja were married in a small ceremony last month.
------------
Seb was reassigned to a stateside base two years ago, but Katja chose to remain in Manhattan for her job. She was shocked when she found out she was pregnant. She'd been working on the police force for almost four years and hadn't really put much thought into starting a family. By the time she found out it was twins, though, she was thrilled. She resigned from the police force and moved to be with Seb. When the twins were two months old, she got a job working homocide near the base. The wife of one of Seb's friends from the base watches the twins during the day.
------------
Katja and Seb are both doing well in their careers and decided they were ready to have another child. Andy was excited to have a new baby brother, but Daniel wanted nothing to do with him. Andy has always been the happier twin, while Daniel is more prone to fits of anger. They're close, like most twins, and now that they've started preschool they're inseperable. Benjamin is staying at a daycare center and loves to play with the other toddlers. He's very adventurous and has no problem being left with the daycare workers when his parents go to work.
-------------
With Andy and Daniel in first grade and Benji in preschool, Seb and Katja were thrilled to be welcoming a new child. Then, when Katja was seven months pregnant, she was pushed into a river while at work and went into premature labor.
