Help[Games] **elysa's international story congrats** round 2
Sorry it took so long! Here is Round 2! :)
Here are your options:
1. It has been three years since the last round and your family is doing great! One of your SO's just got hired for a new job in the largest city in the country you live in! Tell us about the new job and a little about the city you moved to!
2. One year has passed since the last round and your family has welcomed another baby, a girl! They love being parents and knew they wanted more kids, so they decided not to wait! Your new baby girl's first name should come from your country and her middle name should honor one of her parents!
3. It has been three years since the last round and your family is doing well! Actually so well that they decided to take an exciting family vacation for their child(ren)! Pick a place anywhere in the world and something fun to do with your kid(s)!
4. It has been two years since the last round and your family has welcomed a new member to the house, a pet! The new pet was found scared and alone on the side of the road and you decided to adopt it! You choose the kind of pet and the gender. The name should be from a children's book!
5. It has been three years and your family just adopted twins, a little boy and little girl! They are 1 year old and are from the country next to yours. Their names should be from their country, but you may choose nicknames for them from your country!
~~~~~~~~
Rules:
-You must choose a country different from your own. (preferably one you haven't used before)
-You must write something for each round! (How much or little is up to you)
-Try to include interesting things about the culture from the country you choose.
-All names must come from the country you choose, unless otherwise stated.
-You must keep up with ages! (I will not)

Julianne's job has taken the family to Sao Paulo for at least a year. They rather hope it only is a year, because they much rather prefer raising their children in the interior or, at the very least, in the calmer-paced city of Rio. The boys want a baby brother, and Tiago and Julianne are almost ready as well. They just don't want to grow their family here...

AS: Emrys Roan (7)

ADog: Max (beagle)
“So you brought it home?” Llywelyn asked skeptically, eyeing the small dog that was eating leftover casserole off a paper plate on the floor.
“She‘s cute. She‘s little. Have a heart, Llyu,” Siôr argued as he grinned at her. “She was really scared out there alone.”
“She could have a family, you know.”
“Who would just let her wonder the streets when she‘s that small? Somebody didn‘t want her.” Siôr protested.
Llywelyn remained reasonable. “Let‘s at least put it in the papers first. If no one claims her, then we can discuss keeping her.”
Siôr stuck out his bottom lip and sent big, sad eyes Llywelyn‘s direction. It did him no good.
***
Emrys and Eifion are delighted when after two weeks no one had claimed her. They’d already named her Max because she acts like a “Wild Thing.” Siôr, at first had declared that Max was a boy’s name, but he’d since given it up. He figured the dog didn’t care very much either way. As long as the boys were giving her attention and letting her lick their faces/hands/feet/etc, they could call her whatever they wanted.
(Eifion and Max.)
Siôr is her best friend once the boys have gone to bed. Llywelyn likes her, but he is just more of a cat person. Siôr, who had plenty of cats and ponies growing up, always wanted a dog, but never had one. He’s usually just as excited about little Max as Emrys and Eifion are.

AS/AD: Léopold Guillaume "Leo" Waltz and Vivienne Emmanuelle "Vivi" Waltz (1) [France]
In the 3 years since Olympia's birth, much has changed. Lotte, a reporter, was offered a job reporting on the War in Iraq and Afghanistan, which required the whole family to move to Pakistan for 2 years. While there, Emil, a filmmaker, completed a film about the everyday struggle of the people. His film won a lot of coveted awards. Pia, meanwhile, made lots of friends with the local children and the whole family had a great time learning about their culture, and in tern, the locals learnt a lot about Germany as well.
After Lotte's contract was up a year ago, the family moved back to Berlin. Emil & Lotte had decided to add to their family, and upon vacation in neighboring France, decided to adopt twins, which they named Léopold "Leo" and Vivienne "Vivi", who just came home to them yesterday.

-D: Ainhoa Niamh (2)
-Dog: Finn mac Cool (Irish Wolfhound/Border Collie mix, 1)
One day while driving home from work, Liadan finds a dog on the side of the road that was hit by a car. Liadan carries the dog to her car (no small feat--the dog is huge!) and takes him immediately to the nearest vet. Fortunately, the dog isn't hurt badly, and Liadan soon falls in love with the gentle giant. She asks Aurelien if they can foster the dog until they find him a home or his owner claims him, and Aurelien agrees reluctantly, afraid that such a large dog would accidentally hurt Ainhoa, something Liadan hadn't considered. However, both of them are pleasantly surprised when the dog takes very much to Ainhoa--he is very patient when she pulls his tail, and even sits perfectly still while she naps on him. Soon, all of the Charrons are very much in love with the dog, and are secretly relieved when no one comes to claim him. Ainhoa decides to name the dog Finn mac Cool, after the Irish hero that her mother had to read to her about.

It has been two years since Alexei was born and Andrey came to live with them. Vitaliy was recently promoted within the police department--he got a pay raise and everything. He works the day shift regularly now, so he gets to spend evenings at home with Kira and the boys. About a month ago, Vitaliy found a stray puppy at work and brought it back as a present for Andrey and Alexei. The boys love the dog--who is black and brown and white. They aren't sure what kind he is, but love the dog just the same. Kira let the boys name it, and they decided on "Totoshka" from the popular book, The Wizard of Emerald City (it is loosely based on The Wizard of Oz). Totoshka is a good addition to the family, and he is quickly teaching the boys responibility.

Zan and Eleanor love being parents! Fiji is such a bright, happy child and they couldn't imagine life without her! They decided to take a Christmas family vacation to Scotland with Eleanor's family because they hadn't seen them in a while and because Fiji loves playing in the snow! They rented a big cabin and stayed two weeks there with Eleanor's parents, siblings, nieces, and nephews! It was a blast! All of the kids had so much fun sledding and Fiji loved building snowmen! It was a wonderful Christmas and they were all sad to leave, but promised to do it again next year!
