What do I do?
Easy! Simply roll the die and follow the instructions! I also find it interesting to write a few sentences (or paragraphs) about the family you create. Its amazing how the characters take on a life of their own. You can do as many or as few years as you like--some people do 5, some 10, some 15--and some do multiple generations!

Year 0
Anna Rose Schultz-Roth, 27 has just accepted a new job offer working for National Geographic, and she could not be more thrilled. She has always adored traveling, and now she gets to pursue her dream job doing just that, and she can't wait to get out of her tiny apartment for a while! Her new husband, Sgt. Benjamin James "Ben" Roth, 28, is currently serving in the Middle East, but Anna hopes to return from her first assignment by the time his tour is over.
Anna has curly blonde hair and hazel eyes, and Ben has curly brown hair (although it has to be buzzed right now) and dark brown eyes.
Year 1
Ben has returned from his tour of duty and has decided to pursue an offer for a government job, meaning the couple must move to Washington, DC. Both Ben and Anna are excited about seeing the nation's capital, not to mention moving out of their little apartment and into a single family home!
Year 2
Because Anna travels so often for work, Ben decided to adopt a dog to keep him company. His new buddy is his favorite breed, a German Shepherd, and is a retired bomb-sniffing dog named Ranger. Anna absolutely adores Ranger and wishes she could be around more to spend time with him... and Ben of course.
Year 3
Ben's younger brother from Philly, Nick, moves in temporarily after he loses his job. Anna thinks he's a great man, but he's a lot younger than Ben and isn't exactly the most responsible person. Luckily he moves out before she's had her fill.

Year 0:
SO1: John "Jack" Raymond Larkin
SO2: Úna Margaret Crispina Lehany
Jack was an only child and grew up in a single parent household with his mother, although his grandparents only lived two doors down the row of houses they lived on. Úna is originally from Derry, Northern Ireland but moved to England to study. She comes from a large family, she's is the middle of three sisters and one golden child brother. The two first met at a traffic light party on campus which they were both dragged to by friends. Úna was in the third year of her degree whilst Jack was in his first. After much persuasion by Jack, Úna finally relented to the idea of dating a fresher.
Jack read Politics, Philosophy and Economics at university and went on to do a masters in International Relations. A politician in the making he has rather fanciful ideas, although he wouldn't admit it to you, of becoming Prime Minister one day. After two miserable years grinding along in a PR company Jack finally made it to parliament; he is currently working as a political aide to a backbencher MP for the opposition. His days consist of researching, reading reports, reading poll results, reading legislation and then writing reports about the legislation for other political aides to read and then write reports about etc. It's pretty dry and slow work but hey, he's on the ladder!
Úna is a junior doctor going into her third year of practice for the NHS. She's working hard on her ambition to become a consultant (only 5 more years... at minimum :/)! The hours are long and hard, sometimes her and Jack are so busy they're like two ships passing in the night. It's physically and emotionally taxing but it's also incredibly rewarding. Moreover, Úna now has an endless supply of stories to tell at dinner parties, they range from heartwarming to vomit inducing, so something for everyone!
Jack looks: Wavy black hair, grey eyes
Úna looks: Wavy red hair, green eyes
House: Victorian townhouse (second floor only)

The Sutherland Family
Bryan William Sutherland and Jennifer Alice [Hershey] Sutherland met their sophomore year in college on an abroad program in Sweden. While they both attended Colorado State University, they had never met prior to crossing the Atlantic. Bryan proposed shortly after their graduation from college, and they married a year following. Now, the two share an apartment in Denver where Bryan is a high school biology teacher and Jenn works in business logistics for a furniture-store chain in the region.
Bryan -- [black hair that gets wavy when it grows out // hazel eyes]
Jenn -- [straight, brown hair // green eyes]
Year One | 2016
Bryan and Jenn were not expecting to have children so fast, but could not have been more excited to welcome a baby boy to the family. Connor William Suthererland was born on April 12, 2016. He was born with big blue eyes, and has brown hair like his mama (but it has natural body like his daddy). At only a few months old, Connor already has gravitated towards every kind of ball - from soccer, to whiffle, to bouncy. He just can't get enough of curling his little body around them. Bryan and Jenn are both eager to see what he becomes more interested in as he ages.
Bryan (24) + Jenn (24) has...
...Connor (nb)
Year Two | 2017]
Bryan and Jenn were really hesitant to add another child to their family so soon after having Connor, but a unique opportunity came up to adopt a child from Bolivia. Jenn has always wanted to adopt a child, and she has always had a special relationship with Bolivia due to missionary programs her church works with every year. On November 1st, Connor was able to spend an extended vacation with Bryan's family while Bryan and Jenn flew to Bolivia for a couple weeks. They returned with five-year-old Alejo Martín. Alejo loves being a new brother, and while he is learning English from his adoptive parents, he us trying to teach Connor some basic Spanish.

Location: three-story townhouse in Sioux City, South Dakota
DH [25] Morris Reginald Burke (waiter) (straight black hair, hazel eyes)
DW [22] Brittani Meredith (Warren) Burke (waitress) (straight blond hair, brown eyes)
Brittani met Morris two years ago when she started working at Morris’ workplace, a local chain restaurant called Fran’s. Their manager didn’t like the idea of two of his employees dating each other, but once he saw how in love Brittani and Morris were with each other, he backed off. Morris proposed to Brittani on their six-month anniversary while vacationing at Mount Rushmore, and they’ve now been married for three months.
Year 1
Morris and Brittani have decided to adopt their first child! After seeing an infomercial about child neglect in South America, the young couple felt compelled to reach out. After a six-month adoption process, they brought home a seven-month-old baby girl from Argentina. Her original name was Trinidad Graciela, but Brittani and Morris decided to Americanize it as Trinity Grace. She has been a wonderful addition to the family.

Year 2
Morris and Brittani adopted their second child this year. This time, they did an Internet search for children to be adopted. They originally wanted another baby, but when Brittani found out about a little Australian orphan who had been abused by her father, the two of them changed their minds. They are now the adoptive parents of three-year-old Kaitlyn Savannah “Katie” Burke. Katie was incredibly shy at first, staying in her room most of the time, but she gradually warmed up to her new family.

Mick had always loved soccer and during his studies he found a group of friends that met every Saturday for a game in a local park. It had always been a great form of relaxation for him, but only until one Saturday weeks back when he fell so unlucky that he broke his own leg. After four weeks in plaster and rehabilitation afterwards he made a full recovery, however he is still in no hurry to return to his hobby.

House: Mansion
DH: Henry Joseph Tappett (Air Force)(wavy auburn hair, green eyes)(26)
DW: Elizabeth Magnolia (Heatherford) Tappett "Eliza" (CPA)(curly auburn hair, brown eyes)(25)
Henry and Eliza Tappett were married six months ago. Henry is a lieutenant in the air force, and Eliza is employed as a certified personal accountant. She does a lot of her work from home, but does have a small office space assigned to her. While, technically, the two of them live in a mansion, it is a fixer-upper sort of place and only about half of it is currently habitable due to a roofing problem. Henry assures Eliza that they'll have it fixed up in no time.
Year 1

House: Mansion
DH: Henry Joseph Tappett (Air Force)(wavy auburn hair, green eyes)(27)
DW: Elizabeth Magnolia (Heatherford) Tappett "Eliza" (CPA)(curly auburn hair, brown eyes)(26)
Henry finally made true on his promise to Eliza, and the entire house is now at least habitable--if not entirely heated or cooled. Eliza gets tired of living in "half a house" sometimes, but can usually see the potential for a great place to live. This year, Eliza found a new job that, while requiring forty hours a week at the office, is much more enjoyable to her (and is only five miles from home).

Dog: Mollie (black/white mutt)(4)
Before trying to have a baby, Henry and Eliza decided to test out their caregiving skills by adopting a dog from a local shelter. "Mollie" is a black and white scruffy little mutt of a dog. She is very affectionate and Henry is teaching her how to fetch.
