Year 1:
Not long after they were married, Christian began feeling unwell and lightheaded often. He went to the doctor and was diagnosed with diabetes. He quickly learned how to manage his insulin levels and sugar intake.
Year 2:
Susanna and Christian decided to adopt a gerbil, which they named Topper.
Year 3:
Christian and Susanna had their first child, a boy with wavy brown hair and hazel eyes. They name him Jasper Quincy.
Year 4:
About a year after Jasper was born, the Eberhardt's second child was born, a daughter. Luna Hazel has straight blond hair and brown eyes.
Year 5:
Jasper, ever the little adventurer, fell while outside playing and broke his wrist. Luckily, the break was clean and healed quickly. Jasper liked having a bright green cast at first, but later grew tired of it.
Year 6:
Christian and Susanna took their little family on a trip to the beach this summer. Both Jasper and Luna loved the sand and the waves.
Year 7:
Christian's brother and his wife work as missionaries in Columbia and met a woman who could no longer care for her 13-year-old granddaughter. When they heard the story, Christian and Susanna volunteered to adopt Lucia Esperanza de la Cruz. Lucia already knew some English and picked it up quickly. She writes to her grandmother often.
Year 8:
Sadly, Topper the gerbil died early this year. However, the Eberhardts decided to adopt a turtle, which Luna named Wobbles.
Year 9:
Lucia received a letter from her grandmother telling her that her best friend had just become an orphan. Araceli Maria Cabrera is the same age as Lucia, 15, so the Eberhardts adopted her as well. Lucia helped Araceli adjust to Australia and learn English.
Year 10:
The Eberhardts acquired another turtle to keep Wobbles company. They named it Blaze, after the distinctive stripe down its back.
Year 11:
While climbing on the jungle bars at school, Luna fell and broke her arm. She picked out a pink cast and let her big sisters Lucia and Araceli draw pictures on it.
Year 12:
Christian and Susanna welcomed another daughter this year. Georgia Eloise looks exactly like Luna, with straight blond hair and brown eyes.
Year 13:
A little more than a year after Georgia was born, Christian and Susanna had fraternal twin boys. Jasper was thrilled to finally have some brothers. Rory Arthur has curly black hair and brown eyes and Flynn Seamus has curly blond hair and brown eyes.
Year 14:
Christian was excited to get a promotion at his business. He now manages his accounting department.
Year 15:
Lucia and Araceli both turned 21, so the family threw a huge party for them. Lucia's grandmother was able to come as a surprise for her.
Year 16:
Even though Lucia and Araceli both moved out, the Eberhardts bought a larger house with more bedrooms. Everyone loves the new house.
Year 17:
Christian found his job managing his department rather stressful, so he moved to the finance department of his company.
Year 18:
Lucia and her new husband, Daniel John Allen, decided to adopt a baby girl from the Ukraine. Since she was only a month old when they brought her home, they named her. Cora Jocelyn has wavy black hair and blue eyes.
Year 19:
Christian and Susanna treat the entire family to another trip to the beach. Everyone has a wonderful time, especially baby Cora.
Year 20:
Lucia's grandmother passed away at her home in Columbia, leaving Lucia's half-sister Cecelia Lorena de la Cruz without a guardian. Lucia and Dan take custody of Cecelia, who is 12 years old.
