One night, while trying to get Willis and Archie in bed, Emma received a phone call from a lawyer in France. He told her that her great aunt, Esme, had died and left her home to her. She was shocked. She had spent many summers on her aunt's lavender farm in France and although she had not seen her since high school, she was very fond of her. Esme never had any children of her own and spoiled Emma like she was her own daughter. Emma was very sad for her aunt, but also confused about what she should do. Living in France had always been a dream of hers, but it seemed impossible now that they had their farm and three children to think of. But when she talked it over with Grayson he surprised her by saying he thought it would be exciting to move to France! After months of planning and figuring everything out, the Zimmerman family headed to France (along with Mila Sue and Grady of course!).
It took a while for them to adjust. After all, it had been along time since Emma took French in high school, and now she had to teach Grayson too. But they love the friendly town that is only 20 minutes away and Emma buys tons of fresh produce from the farmers market. The French countryside is beautiful and their house sits on the edge of gorgeous lavender fields, so the boys have plenty of land to run around on. Along with the house the also inherited a feisty goat (who they named Roosevelt) and a very sweet horse (named Rockefeller). Mila Sue spends a lot of time hiding from Roosevelt, who thinks he owns the place, but she and Grady love running around with the boys and playing games.
The town near their home:

NEW HOUSE!
With their family growing, and knowing it's only going to grow bigger, Clara and James decided to by a bigger house. They found a house with six bedrooms, which may be too many but they can always be made into guest bedrooms, and four full baths. It was a little expensive but it was a good thing they've been saving money for when the time came to by a large house for their going to be large family. Speaking of which, Clara can't wait to get pregnant again, but James wants to wait another year or two before trying again. Let's see what happens!

Adam decided it was time to say goodbye to the architecture business. He's had a fascination with airplanes and flying since he was a young boy, and he felt it was time to pursue what he loved. He had actually obtained his private pilot's license at 20 years old, but recently got his commercial pilot license. Now Adam is a pilot for United Airlines, which he is enjoying very much. He also has very flexible hours in order to spend as much time as possible with his kids.

As for Mia and the kids, they are all doing wonderful. Max is growing up and will be in kindergarten this fall! He is so excited to go to school and ride on the schoolbus. Max is also going to be starting organized soccer this fall and is looking forward to that as well. Mia was sad to see his bright blonde hair darken into a light brown. The triplets are also growing up! Scarlett and Emily are little girlie girls, and Mia is thrilled to have two little daughters to dress up. Finn is 'all boy' and idolizes his older brother. He loves everything to do with dirt, bugs, trucks, and sports.

There has been a tragic even in the Hendrik family. Despite her twenty-eight years of age, Chloe has passed away having been in a terrible car accident. Poor little Dom is heartbroken that his "Mama dearest" has gone from this world. James had dug himself a whole of self-pity to wallow in. This continued until James met Rachel Summerfield. A year older than Chloe was, Rache reminded James of his departed wife. They ended up marrying, and now Dom has a stepmother. At first, Dom didn't really like Rache, but he's gotten used to her and enjoys her. Still, he loves his mother much more than the redheaded woman his father married.

Question.
I chose 6, but do you mind if I write a combo of 6 and 2?

“We were pretty close when I was a young boy. My dad was entirely too business minded to be creative. He never understood me musically.” Carbrey explained as he placed his razor and shaving cream into the bag on the counter.
“What about your mom?” Jude asked as he put five toothbrushes into their travel cases.
“She always supported me.” Carbrey shrugged, “However, it‘s a good thing I don‘t remember lullabies as an infant or I probably would’ve been too scarred to ever do music in my life. My mom sings like an attacking walrus.”
“You say that out of love?” Jude asked, eyes wide and playful.
“The purest,” Carbrey smirked. His look saddened when spoke up and said, “My grandfather bought me my first guitar. He could play, but he was better at piano. And when I wrote my first song, I played it to him first. You know, some little rhymey tune about a girl who didn‘t love me or something.”
“A girl?” Jude questioned.
“Oh, come on, I was ten. Even I didn‘t know I was gay then.”
Jude smiled and then looked to meet Carbrey’s dark brown eyes. “He sounds like a great person.” And Carbrey didn’t have to reply for Jude to know he really was.
(^^Triplet suitcases.)
They took them to Scotland, but they didn’t actually take the triplets or Zara to the funeral. They figured the children were too young to understand and the fox would have been completely out of place. Carbrey hadn’t seen his grandfather in six years, but he still cried when they buried him. He should have came home for holidays. He should have came home to show off the children. He should have came home to just see his family.
