Help[Games] Build-A-Family round 2
I know that there are still a few people without thier people info- just please tell me one more time, I promise I'll get to you before the next round!!! I am so sorry for any inconvinience I may have caused, I know it isn't fun to have to wait to play a game.
This round is going to be a little different than last time. Of course, as always, post your family, along with what they look like, ages, ect. Here is the link to the previous round: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/arcview.php?id=462293&board=game
ALSO PLEASE READ: If you want to add or leave out anything out in your stories, feel free to. My questions and instructions are only guidlines!
It's been three years, and now the current month is March.
Your work status has recently changed. What changed? Is this a good thing for you, or did it make life difficult? How does your family feel about it?
You (and your husband, if you have one) have had a pretty smooth marriage so far, with a few bumps and potholes regarding living space. Explain what happened, where you are currently living, and what you would like to change. How are you now, are the two of you doing/did anything special for your anniversary?
Your son(s) or daughter(s) are/is three, and has started pre-school, and recently broke an arm (What happened there?). Tell what has been going on with them. What personalities have they grown to have? Are they the little social butterfly at school, or do they hide behind the teacher? Has anything important happened, like injuries, happy times, and new developments?
Of course, there is always the matter of having another child. Have any additions been added? If so, when? The gender is your choice, and the name: The fn should be one you have heard on a real person that you KNOW, the mn should have something to do with nature, or a virtue name. What is your new baby like? Personalities?
Have fun!

Age: 3
Appearance: Both have Dark brown hair and blue eyes
DD: Katie Willow O'Reilly
Age: 4 months
Appearance: Pale blond hair, blue eyes
I recently got a promotion. I am now making more money but am also working longer hours. It is tough to be a working woman and also a loving mother and wife. Tom is happy for me but I can tell it has been stressful for him.
We still live in our beautiful house that my husband made. Because of the fact that I've been working so hard, Tom has arranged for us to vacation in Aruba for our anniversary. I can't wait.
Finn recently broke his arm. He was climbing a tree in our back yard, which I specifically told him not to climb, and he fell just the wrong way. Thankfully it was a clean break and is almost fully healed.
Finn is a big trouble maker at pre-school. He is so rambunctious (sp?) and outgoing that he gets into trouble all the time. He loves anything that involves running around and screaming at the top of his lungs. Jack is our little sweet heart. He always helps the teacher. He's also very shy except with his family. It has taken him much longer to get used to being at school.
We recently had an addition to our family. Katie Willow O'Reilly was born four months ago. She has pale blond hair and the biggest blue eyes I've ever seen. She is a very content baby. She can play alone on the floor for hours. Jack adores her. Finn doesn't want anything to do with her because she can't play cowboys and indians and she wears dresses.

DD/DS: Naomi Marie / Gabriel Damon “Gabe” (2 week)
I recently published my fourth book and am working on my fifth in the series. Everything is so wonderful with my job. I love being able to write when I feel like it and not have any pressures. Unfortunately though, I did have to attend a few book tours, which although fun, seem long and prolonged when they are keeping me away from my family. James is doing wonderful in his job, there's talk of a possible promotion but James is not sure he wants to be moved as he enjoys his job so much. We will have to cross that road when we come to it.
Gabriel and Naomi are both a little wary about going to school, while they don’t cower behind me or anything they stick together and don’t seem to socialize much. Gabriel is extremely protective of Naomi, especially since we found out that she needs an asthma inhaler. They are both gorgeous though, they both have dark brown hair and Hazel eyes and they love both physical and artistic activities. Unfortunately just recently Gabriel broke an arm with he fell out a tree he had climbed to the top of. While I am not glad that he broke his arm, I am glad that Naomi didn’t, she was climbing the tree as well but didn’t go so high. I fear if she had been the one to fall neither James nor Gabriel would let her try again (as I said they are extremely protective). I think Naomi is enjoying their switch in roles a bit, now she is protecting him instead of the other way around.
James and I haven’t really decided that we don’t want any more children we just haven’t decided if we do or when. I think my parents would love it as they are enamored with little Gabriel and Naomi. They come to visit at least once every month and spoil the kids.

Age:3
Appearance: both have dark hair and they are about the same height (a little above average)Clara has dark green eyes and Bert has light blue
DD:Armide Neva "Mina"
blonde hair and blue eyes (new born baby)
What we thought would be our "dream house" has certainly seemed to shrink significantly in the past three years! We bought a small four bedroom in the suburbs, assuming that it would be more than enough space for two or three kids. Already we relaized that with two rambunctious pre-schoolers and another on the way, some definite changes were going to need to be made. Fortunately we have a large lot and were able to put on a fairly large family room/master bedroom addition to the first floor (so there would be four spacious bedrooms on the second story). Luke really wanted to just move to another house, maybe one closer to the city, but I thought that we had a gorgeous, private lot that we wouldn't be able to find again (at least not in our budget! :)Also, since a few of the manuscripts I was working on had just been published and we had a little extra money that was not going into the kids college funds or a vacation, we should also redo the kitchen with some nice new appliances and countertops. Again, Luke disagreed, fortunately, I won that battle and now we have a gorgeous, sunny kitchen that we both love.
The twins recently started pre-school, and they both love it. We send them to the town program, which is in the elementary school, so they will be at the same school until sixth grade. Clara has turned into a real daredevil, and recently fell off the big slide (off limits to the pre-schoolers!) and broke her arm. Despite her adrnaline-seeeking personality she is very quiet and has a few quiet friends she likes to play pretend and dress-up with. Bert, though much more cautious than Clara, has many more loud and active friends who like to run around the house being firemen and making as much noise as possible.

______________________________________________________________________
It has been three very busy years. Linus and Néa have kept us busy! We went to different toddler groups, but a few weeks ago, they started Kindergarten. They really like it and are very sociable. Linus is a little shyer, but not very much. Néa is definantly the tomboy out of the two. Linus loves the nature, just like Milo and me and Néa loves to run around and build damms. Of course, this can't go by without injuries. Néa sends us to A&E more than we wish. She has already had several stitches and even broken her arm in January, when she made a ice slide and slipped and fell. Linus must have a guardian angel, he always follows Néa, but somehow, he hardly hurts himself.
The last 3 months have been very exciting, as not only did Néa brake her arm, but whilst we were in the hospital to get the cast taken off, my waters broke! I was pregnant and the baby was due to come at the start of March, but it was only the middle of February!

DH: Ashley Nicholas Graham
DW: Grace Mary Graham
DD/DD/DD: Callie Jane / Violet Beatrice / Isla Maeve
DD: Sarah Faith
The triplets have started pre-school, and they seem to enjoy it. I think it was an easier transition for them, since they're all together in the same class, and they're naturally friendly and outgoing, especially Isla, who is definitely the little social butterfly of the bunch! Of the three, Callie is more reserved than her sisters, though not by much.
With her three older sisters around, I can already tell that little Sarah is going to be constantly coddled and taken care of. Even now, Callie and Vi and Isla are excited to have a baby sister - and here I was afraid that they would get jealous - and are always trying to help with her.
I quit my job working for the hotel, and have since started my own catering company, which will allow me more time with the girls, since most jobs will be at nights, and on weekends, when Ashley is home.
Since finishing his Ph.D, Ashley was offered a position in California, which he would like to take, but we're still discussing it. Although it would mean an increase in salary, it would also mean uprooting the kids and moving clear across the country, and leaving our families behind, as well.

Due to my second pregnancy this past year, I took fewer clients. I was having some difficulty with gestational diabetes and just didn't feel up to it. I had nothing left for my family when I came home. James works at home, but the girls have been going to a playgroup so he can get some work done in the mornings, and he picks them up in the afternoon. So now we are all at home, but the girls want to go to "school" anyway, so they can see their friends.
We still live in the same house, although we have needed to add on. (We plan on having at least one more child.) The construction caused some issues last summer, as the hallway to James' office had to be blocked off, and his quiet place to work was gone. He was very grumpy and got very little work done until they finished the addition to the house, another bedroom and a den.
I wasn't feeling well for our anniversary (I was hugely pregnant), so James secretly arranged for my mother to pick up the kids and keep them overnight. We had a picnic in my butterfly garden with sparkling white grape juice in wine glasses.
Since our third child, John Roarke, was born in August, I've really felt like I want to stay at home until he goes to school. He is such a sweet baby, all smiles, and I think he looks just like James. His hair is a light brown with a little curl already, and his eyes are green. He is very quiet, content to sit and watch whatever is going on. At seven months, he's starting to pull up so he can see things on top of the coffee table. James was teasing me about how the next baby has to be a boy, too, just to even things out.

DW: Anna Rebekah (stay-at-home-mom, 26 yrs., shoulder length light brown hair and dark blue eyes. no freckles. 5 ft. 5 in.)
DS: Brennan Iarlaith (3 yrs., curly light brown hair and green eyes.)
DS: John Dylan "Jack" (1 yr., curly light brown hair and green eyes.)
DD: Amber Sage (newborn)
Van and I have had a wild three years. Our firstborn, Brennan, is now three years old. He has curly light brown hair and green eyes. He started pre-school in September and likes it a lot. Unfortunately, he had to miss about two weeks of school because he broke his arm climbing a tree in our backyard. He scared me half to death. Besides breaking an arm, he had a concussion. Other than that, Brennan has been a great kid. He loves to talk and is very clever. He enjoys playing outside and he has several little friends that we have over once or twice a week. Brennan has been joined by two siblings. His brother, Jack, is one year old and looks almost exactly like Brennan. Jack is a bit quieter than Brennan, but he likes playing outside like his brother. Amber is our newest addition. She is just a few days old and the boys are still very curious about her.
Since the kids are all still so young, I decided to give up teaching for the time being and devote all my time to being a mother. Van and I are very happy with this arrangement, especially since Van got a new job at a zoo about 15 minutes closer to us. It pays better and there are less animals to take care of. Van loves his job and he likes when we come to the zoo and visit once in a while.

My career status has changed, i was workign as an interior designer but it wasnt working out for me, i loved doing it but it wasnt exactly what i wanted to do. I am now an Architect andim loving it, im currently planning a future house for us!
We are currently living in a medium sized three bedroom two bathroom house. Its nice andthere is a decent backyard for Rex to play in etc.. but we want more kids and i want a proper studio and Nico wants a bigger and better kitchen. So im designing us one. Rex really wants a cubby house and a sand pit but its not really suitable in our yard. The main problems is we want to live on the beach, we are all keen surfers and the drive to the beach is killing us!
Rex has broken his arm! He was quite surprised when it happened. Like me he is a keen tree climber, and he is very good at it. One day he was climbing up the tree in the backyard while i was watching, he got to where he wanted and then climbed down. He got out of the tree ok, but he decided that he would climb out of the tree and onto a medium sized brick fence that sepperates our vegge garden. He got onto it ok, but he was being silly and doing some of his ballet moves when he tripped on his shoe lace and fell off.
He thought the whole thing was quite funny. I did not!
Rex loves preschool, he loves music, art, dancing, leggo and playing oiutside. he has taken up ballet, swimming, gymnastics and playing the violin.
We have also welcomed a new member to our family: Hugo Ignatius Stafford.

Its nice andthere is a decent backyard for Rex to play in etc.. but we want more kids and i want a proper studio and Nico wants a bigger and better kitchen. So im designing us one. Rex really wants a cubby house and a sand pit but its not really suitable in our yard. The main problems is we want to live on the beach, we are all keen surfers and the drive to the beach is killing us!
Rex has broken his arm! He was quite surprised when it happened. Like me he is a keen tree climber, and he is very good at it. One day he was climbing up the tree in the backyard while i was watching, he got to where he wanted and then climbed down. He got out of the tree ok, but he decided that he would climb out of the tree and onto a medium sized brick fence that sepperates our vegge garden. He got onto it ok, but he was being silly and doing some of his ballet moves when he tripped on his shoe lace and fell off.
He thought the whole thing was quite funny. I did not!
Rex loves preschool, he loves music, art, dancing, leggo and playing oiutside. he has taken up ballet, swimming, gymnastics and playing the violin.
We have also welcomed a new member to our family: Hugo Ignatius Stafford.
