DW: [28] Noelani Elisabeth (Harris) Jacobs [finance lawyer; wavy black hair and brown eyes]
Koloa, Hawaii, US
Luke and Noelani recently married in a small ceremony in Luke's hometown of Portland, Oregon after a slow four-year relationship. They're not your average couple by any means. Luke grew up in Foster care after being abandoned as a young child and didn't find his forever home until his early teens. He has been supported by his loving family ever since and he loves them to death. However, he has always wanted really wanted to start a family of his own. When he met Noelani he was well past 30 and getting anxious to find the One. Noelani, on the other hand, wasn't looking for love. She had recently graduated law school and gotten a job as a finance lawyer. In her free time she surfed with her Hawaiian friends and family and, in her mind, they were enough. The couple ad a rocky beginning dealing with these problems, but they have finally sorted them out and plan to get a start on their family together.
Year 1: Luke 36, Noelani 29
Luke found a mouse in their kitchen and decided to start feeding it and playing with it. Noelani wasn't a fan at first, but she came around.
Year 2: Luke 37, Noelani 30
Noelani and Luke created their first family reunion, celebrating their anniversary with as many members of both of their families as they could get.
Year 3: Luke 38, Noelani 31, Fred, Mars, Nell, and Alex 0
Luke and Noelani wanted kids, but this wasn't what they bargained for! Noelani gave birth to quadruplets this year, two identical boys and two identical girls. They enlisted the help of family and friends for the first couple months and are now functioning pretty well on heir own, although they're more busy than they thought imaginable. For their names, the intended on using Hawaiian middles but couldn't agree on any so they honored people in Luke's family instead.

YEAR ONE: You can't escape family drama even from miles away. Back in his home state of Florida, Tanner's younger half-sister Krystina is getting married soon, however she refuses to invite anyone from her side of the family, including him, their siblings Kaye and Sam, and their mother Evie. Due to an argument three years back, Krystina has cut ties from her family, and while Tanner hasn't forgiving his sister, he thinks she should at least invite Evie to the wedding. Better yet, own up to her mistakes and make amends. Just to add, he attempted to bury the hatchet and invited her to his wedding a year ago, but she never responded.
YEAR TWO: Meanwhile, Manon's older brother Frédéric is getting married to his childhood sweetheart, Simone. Manon and Tanner travel to Nantes where the wedding is taking place. Manon spent a small part of her childhood in Nantes before moving to New York at age eight when her. Going back to Nantes, of course, brings back memories of summer vacation being spent here with her brother, mother and stepfather.
YEAR THREE: Tragedy strikes when Manon's beloved stepfather, Lars, dies from a massive heart attack. Incredibly heartbroken by the news, Manon always had a great relationship with her stepfather, even closer than the relationship with her real father. He was a kind and gentle man who treated Manon and her brother like his own children. Since Tanner is busy with a huge project, Manon goes with her best friend, Ellie, to Bad Wimpfen, where the funeral is taking place.

Year 0 - Toronto, Canada
DW [24]: Edith Cornelia (Mitchell) Warner {Curly blonde hair, brown eyes, journalist}
DH [25]: Jenson Theodore Warner {Straight red hair, blue eyes, banker}
Edith and Jenson are both Toronto natives, who got married earlier this year. They're looking forward to starting their family together in the next few years.
Year 1 - Toronto, Canada
DW [24]: Edith Cornelia (Mitchell) Warner {Curly blonde hair, brown eyes, journalist}
DH [25]: Jenson Theodore Warner {Straight red hair, blue eyes, banker}
-DS/DS [nb]: Gabriel Marlowe Warner & Alexander 'Alex' James Warner {Curly blonde hair & brown eyes, Straight strawberry blonde hair & blue eyes}
Edith and Jenson are surprised to welcome fraternal twin boys the year after their marriage. Gabriel and Alex look quite different from one another, but hate to be separated!
Year 2 - Toronto, Canada
DW [25]: Edith Cornelia (Mitchell) Warner {Curly blonde hair, brown eyes, journalist}

-DS/DS [1]: Gabriel Marlowe Warner & Alexander 'Alex' James Warner {Curly blonde hair & brown eyes, Straight strawberry blonde hair & blue eyes}
-DS [nb]: Jolyon Oscar Warner {Wavy blonde hair, brown eyes}
Just a year after the birth of Gabriel and Alex, the Warners welcome their third son, Jolyon. The twins aren't too sure how feel about him - Gabriel spends a lot of time playing on the iPad, and Alex is a good little talker already.
Year 3 - Toronto, Canada

-DS [1]: Jolyon Oscar Warner {Wavy blonde hair, brown eyes}
Perhaps the birth of three sons in three years was too much for Edith and Jenson's marriage - they get a divorce only a few years after they were married. Edith moves out of their house and gets her own apartment, but stays in Toronto for the sake of her children

Background-
SO1: Maxine Mary McCloud [curly, blonde hair & blue eyes / Children's Nurse]
SO2: Keenan Eric John Langston [straight, black hair & grey eyes / Theatre Scenery and Prop Designer]
Location: Sydney, Australia
[Max and Kee are both from British-expat families living in Australia. Max moved when she was 9 'down under', while Kee was born in Sydney. They met through mutual friends in their early-20s but Kee was moving away for his job. They kept in touch because they had so much in common and embarked on a relationship several months later when Kee returned to Sydney for the holidays...]
Yr1: Having just moved into quite a spacious 3-bed house, Max and Kee decide to adopt canine brothers. The dogs are about 14months old, mix-breeds, they have the kennel names of Uri and Hans but the young couple rename their furbabies, Devon and Brighton.
Yr2: When Max and Kee find a box of three kittens dumped in their backgarden they decide to keep them (after having them checked over by the vet of course). The vet estimates the babies are around 6 weeks old and all boys. They get the names Hadley, Arden and Henley.
Yr3: Max and Kee welcome Alice Skye Langston to their family of male furbabies - it's nice to have a girl around! She's got wavy, brown hair and grey eyes.
Yr4: With Kee working away more to bring in extra money, Max is at the end of her tether with a young child and five animals! They argue, it comes to a head with Kee storming off, he's gone hours and hours but eventually comes back at 2am full of apologies. The couple kiss and make up.
Yr5: Oh my! Max surprises everyone by carrying triplets! Tennyson Zeke and Kaden Tobias are identical twin boys with straight, brown hair and brown eyes while Lexa Caroline if their triplet sister with wavy, brown hair and blue eyes.
Yr6: Quite unplanned, Max and Kee wind up pregnant again! Hello Georgina Ivy Langston, who makes her entrance with wavy, brown hair and grey eyes.
Yr7: Somebody's a fertile Myrtle as Max gives birth to identical twin boys, both with curly, brown hair and blue eyes. Welcome Bridger Vincent and Henry Zante.

DH: John Owen Brookland (straight brown hair, brown eyes)(surgeon)(31)
DW: Victoria Roselyn (Hammond) Brookland "Tori" (curly black hair, blue eyes)(homemaker)(28)
John and Tori met during John's final year in medical school. They dated throughout his residency and fellowship, getting married last summer after he completed his training. John found a job with Doctors without Borders and is currently working in southern Turkey. Tori, though she has a degree in early childhood education, is not working, though she spends a lot of time helping the refugees there.

John and Tori were surprised to learn that Tori was expecting a baby just six months after their wedding. They had just completed their move to Turkey and Tori figured that the stress was affecting her--by the time she went to be checked out by a doctor, she was almost five months pregnant. After much consideration, Tori decided to stay in Turkey with John and have the baby there. Their son, Micah, was born a few months later without complications.

This year, John lost his job with Doctors without Borders when the clinic he worked in was closed due to local unrest. He decided not to extend his contract with them and return to the United States with his young family. The Brooklands moved to a large city in Virginia, and both Tori and Micah are enjoying all the local scenery there. John is still searching for a job, but has several job interviews scheduled for the upcoming weeks.
