DW: Lottie Candace [Dickson] Mohren (22)Every year, Lottie's school runs a holiday food and toy drive to support the impoverished families in the neighborhood. The drive hadn't been doing too well this year, so the school decided to run a community fundraiser. Lottie and Chayim wanted to help out any way they could, so Chayim volunteered his band to provide musical entertainment at the event, and Lottie set up a face-painting booth. The turnout to the event was great, and they ended up raising enough money to get every impoverished child at Stony Ridge a hearty holiday meal and a gift. Chayim and Lottie feel great to have volunteered their time and energy to bring smiles to their neighbors' faces.--YEAR TWO -- TRAVELDH: Chayim Gilbert Mohren (26)

Spouse1: Damian Marcel Rowan
Hair: black, straight
Eyes: green
Job: ChefSpouse2: Lyra Delfina Suero
Hair: blonde, wavy
Eyes: brown
Job: Small business ownerLocated in the USA.Year 1: Lyra achieves her lifetime's dream of opening her own business. With the help of Damian, she opens a small antiques and junk store she names Delfina's.
Year 2: Delfina's is booming, and Lyra hands the store over for a week to a trusted friend. She takes a business trip in a truck, collecting cast off pieces of furniture and jewelry to bring back to the store to fix.
Year 3: Damian and Lyra have been in the process of adopting a child for some time. This year, they bring their child home. Rosalie Jane is a three year old girl from China, with straight black hair and brown eyes.
Year 4: In a truly bizarre turn of events, Lyra discovers she is pregnant, but not with just one baby. At the first scan, four babies are identified. Lyra is immediately confined to bedrest to maximise the chance of keeping all four children. After a long, long pregnancy, Lyra gives birth to four children - two girls, two boys. The two girls are identical and have wavy brown hair and green eyes. One boy has green eyes and straight blond hair, and the other has straight blond hair and brown eyes. They are named Petra Ophelia, Ramona Cecily, Elisha Duncan and Amedee Kurtis.
Year 5: Damian's father passes away. His family is devastated, and Damian finds himself struggling to meet the demands of his mother and siblings, as well as those of his own children.
Year 6: Not long after Damian's family is rocked by a death, Lyra's family suffers too. Her mother dies after a short illness, and her family rallies together to support one another.
Year 7: At this point, with Rosalie, Petra, Ramona, Elisha and Amedee all crammed into Lyra and Damian's small home, something has to be done. With a little money saved, and a little inherited, the family moves into a bigger house that they can properly grow into.
Year 8: Much to the couple's apprehension, Lyra is pregnant again. After many long discussions, the two decide to keep the pregnancy, reasoning that they had both enjoyed growing up in big families, and one more baby couldn't hurt. Willow Hester is born with straight blond hair, and eyes that would eventually turn hazel.

Laszlo and Clodagh welcome a baby boy. He looks like his dad with blond wavy hair and bright green eyes. They decide to name him Magnus Oisin Aqua, after his grandfathers. Year 2 Event: Divorce
Sadly it hasn't worked out for Clodagh and Laszlo. The stress of a newborn and high pressure jobs resulted in their separation. Unfortunately they are unable to salvage their relationship and agree it is best and healthier for everyone involved for them to divorce. They still have an amicable relationship and share custody of Magnus. Year 3Event: New job
Laszlo takes a position at Edinburgh Napier Uni, teaching creative writing. Structured working hours his a change but the steady paycheck comes in handy for looking after Magnus. Year 4 Event: Family event
Both Clodagh and Laszlo have met new people and have since settled down with them. Laszlo has been dating Morag Catrina Buchanan, a fellow Professor. Clodagh has recently married Blair Gerallt MacRae. They had a rather short romance before deciding to settle down. Blair is a Head Chef at an up and coming restaurant on the Leith shore. Morag has blond wavy hair and blue eyes.
Blair has red wavy hair and green eyes.Year 5 Event: Move somewhere new
Laszlo has been developing a television pilot for sometime and it's finally been picked up to be made. Laszlo will be working as Show Runner with another writer and so has to move down to Yorkshire where the production is based. Magnus has started school already and so will be staying in Edinburgh with his mum and Blair. The train journey from York to Edinburgh isn't long so Laszlo gets to see Magnus and Morag quite a bit. Year 6
(I'm going to do events for both Clodagh and Laszlo)Event: Birth
Clodagh and Blair have been trying for a baby since they got married. They finally welcomed a baby girl, with a wisp of blond wavy hair and hazel eyes. They named her Rosa Ceridwen MacRae. Rosa is after Clodagh's grandmother and Ceridwen honours Blair's Welsh mother.

I love these! :3Year1: Conrad Vilhelmi Sandford and Carmen Séraphine Sandford {Charron} have just gotten married. Conrad is 28 and of English and Finnish descent. He has wavy, brown hair and hazel eyes. He works as a freelance artist. Carmen is 27. She was born in Marseilles, but her mother is from Spain. She has curly, black hair and blue eyes. She has just finished her training to become a nurse. The couple currently live together in a small town in Bouches-du-Rhône, France.Year2: ~ Pet. Carmen is given the unexpected gift of a gecko from a grateful patient who breeds reptiles. An odd gift indeed, but as an animal lover, one she can't resist. Conrad also takes well to the little lizard, whom they name Thessaly. Year3: ~ Adoption. The two decide to start a family, but decide to try adoption first. Conrad's older brother and sister were both adopted, and since he had a happy home life, he feels like he would like to try to be an adoptive parent too. In the end, they adopt a little girl from Zhezkazgan, Kazakhstan. She is under a year old, born on October 12th, and has wavy dark brown hair and brown eyes. They keep her birth name, Zemfira, but add the middle name Alberta, in honor of her (adopted) uncle Albert. She ends up with the nickname Fira too. Year4: ~ Vacation. With little Zemfira growing bigger by the day, Conrad and Carmen decide to take a holiday to visit his family in England. Despite the near constant rain, they have a lovely time and Fira is spoilt by her grandparents.Year5: ~ Job. Carmen is transferred to a bigger hospital in Marseilles. This means working longer hours and a slightly longer commute, but it's an interesting new oppurtunity all the same.Year6: ~ Adoption. Zemfira is nearly three now, and the Sandfords think it might be nice for her to have a brother or sister. The time doesn't seem right to have a child of their own, but they have more than enough time and space to adopt instead. This time, they decide to adopt identical twin boys from Guatamala.

DH: Mark Valentin Murphy (wavy black hair, brown eyes)(military)(29)
DW: Veronika Scarlett (Lewes) Murphy "Nika" (wavy black hair, blue eyes)(reporter)(28)Year 0: The beginning
Mark and Nika were married just two and a half weeks ago in a lovely beach ceremony. They met six years ago when Mark was deployed overseas and Nika was one of the reporters covering the area. The two crossed paths several times, but didn't really start a relationship until Mark returned stateside six months later. Nika's tour had been much shorter--just 3 weeks in country. She was already on to the next big news story. They kept in touch and, although their jobs often meant they were on different sides of the country (if not halfway around the world), they grew closer and closer. Mark proposed nine months ago, just before deploying overseas again. By the time he returned, Nika had most of the wedding planned. Mark surprised her by taking her to the Galapagos Islands--a place she's always wanted to visit. Mark is stationed on the West Coast of the United States currently, and Nika was able to put in for a transfer to a branch of the news station she works for in a city close to where Mark is stationed. The two of them found a small suburban home that they like, and are busy making it their home.

DS: Zachary Marcus Murphy "Zach" (wavy black hair, green eyes)(0)Two months into their marriage, Nika caught what she thought was a stomach virus; however, as time went on and she didn't feel much better, she began to suspect otherwise. She found out she was pregnant on their three month anniversary. Mark and Nika's first child, a son, was born six weeks before their first anniversary. Zachary Marcus Murphy was born with a thick head of jet black hair and adorable, big green eyes.
