[Games] Violetta's Game of Life - Round 5
Round 5 - Twins!
2 years later...
You are proud to announce the arrival of identical twin boys! This time, the two of you had no trouble agreeing on names– What did you choose for first names? One of the twins got your maiden name as a middle name, and the other one’s middle name is his father’s first name.
Your daughter is now three. How is she reacting to the boys? What is she like? Is she going to preschool?

Our twin boys are so adorable! We wanted unique names, so we chose two we had always liked as a pair: Caius Ronald and Remus Jensen! We want to make sure that the boys don't have fifty other boys their age with their names. :) They look like their names -- brown eyes, brown hair. Ella adores her new baby brothers and can hardly leave them alone!
Speaking of Ella, she is going to afternoon preschool now. She loves it and looks forward to it every day. She is very mild mannered now, (VERY different from her mother when she was her age!!) but always very happy and loves to laugh. She is very loving and loves to cuddle! She's also gotten a bunch of freckles all over her.
--Camille, Ron, Ella, Caius, and Remus Piquet
P.S.
We read Ella the story Cinderella! She loved it and was entraced through the whole thing. ("Is this story about me?" "Could I turn into a princess?") She loved it!

Bird: Snowy (Sparrow)
I won't go too much into my pregnancy as it would just be one big self-pity story but I will say I thought Rosie was bad enough but twins! I was huge! Anyways needless to say Christopher was wonderful the while time and little Rosie had endless questions about why I was getting too big to hold her on my lap, that was the first time Christopher shot me a glance of pure panic and fled leaving me to answer Rosie's questions.
Rosie was extremely happy to think that she'd have two younger brothers, and she asked me very seriously if she would be able to boss them around when they got older. I couldn't help but fight back a laugh and I told her she could try but I doubt that would ever happen. Rosie contribution to our quest for naming them was Barney and Charming. Christopher and I looked at each other and other managed to refain from laughing because we didn't want to hurt her feelings as she was obviously very serious. I asked her to explain Charming and she said in all fairy tales all the princes' were called Prince Charming and she liked that name. ^_^
Needless to say Rosie has been developing wonderfully, she is already reading a little as she desided she wanted to.

Andrew and I have certainly got our hands full! It's nice that it's a happy bustle of activity though- We've just had twin boys! Again, we didn't find out the gender ahead of time, but we did find out it was twins. Thank goodness for that! Our little angel sons were born on October 12, first Noah, at 4:33, pm, weighing 8 lbs, 3 oz, closely followed by Luca, at 4:35 pm, weighing 8 lbs, 2 oz. After Juliet, we definetly learned our lesson about being sure of the gender, (really having no idea, as last time we were sure Juliet was a boy) and picking names ahead of time, so we came up with two names for each gender about a month ahead of time. I really love the names we picked, Noah and Luca, and the middle names are great also. Andrew is happy that one got a part of his name, and I was glad to get my maiden name in there somewhere!
The boys are really wonderful. Unlike Juliet, they're awake most of the time. In the day, they're very alert, but hardly cry at all, and eat very well. The only trouble we have with them is getting them to sleep... They just seem to want to look around their new world all night long. Other than that, they are the greatest twins we could ask for. They are both completley healthy, and again- growing fast!

DS/DS: Grant Luke / Cade O'Brien
Bird: Blaze
Luke and I were thrilled to discover that we were once again expecting, but we were rather surprised to find out we'd be having not one, but two babies! Our twin boys, Grant Luke and Cade O'Brien, came into the world on June 24th. Grant was born at 5:36 PM, weighing 6 pounds, 10 ounces; 18 3/4 inches long, and was followed by Cade at 5:58 PM, weighing 6 pounds, 7 ounces; 18 3/4 inches long. The boys are mirror images of each other with hazel eyes, like their daddy, and light brown hair, like me.
We had no problem agreeing on their names. Grant and Cade have been favorites of mine for years, and we found that Luke also liked them. As for their middle names, we agreed that one boy would have Luke's name as his middle name and the other would have O'Brien, my maiden name, as his. All in all, we just thought that Grant Luke and Cade O'Brien had the best sounding flow to them.
Ellie Grace is thrilled to finally have her brothers at home. When we told her she was going to be a big sister, she was incredibly excited since her best friend, Hannah, also has a baby brother. She loved it when Hannah's mom brought the baby over, and we knew she'd be a wonderful sister from the start. She was on cloud nine when she figured out that she had two brothers, instead of one, and she loves to tell everyone that she's a big sister. When company comes over, she considers it her "job" to show off the babies.
Ellie is an amazing little girl who never ceases to amaze us. She loves being in preschool, which we enrolled her in after she celebrated her third birthday. She couldn't wait to start school, and now that she's there, she loves every minute of it. She loves bringing home her art projects and putting them on the refrigerator :) Needless to say, our house always seems to have her little drawings somewhere, including the ones that she makes for the boys. Ellie's vocabulary has grown immensely, and it seems that she is always talking. She's still rather shy around people she doesn't know well, but watch out...once you get her going, she won't stop! She loves to tell us all about her day at school and her friends. She has also started reading a few words here and there and loves for us to read stories to her.

Twins!
With Violet barely in pre-pre-nursery school, Daisy discovered she was pregnant again, with identical twins, no less. They were a little better timed - The Getaway III was a huge success, and the family were currently flush with money - but then Daisy and Ray has the problem of who would stay at home with the new babies. Ray had just been offered a great promotion on the Shard London Bridge team, and was keen not to waste it. Daisy didn't particularly like the idea of being a stay-at-home mother, but she couldn't see an alternative.
After nine months and one week of pregnancy, and a mercifully short five-hour labour, Larson Raymond was born, weighing 5lbs exactly. Alister Fletcher came along twenty minutes later, a little smaller at 4lb 7oz. Both boys are healthy, and have auburn hair and brown eyes; the exact same colouring, an excited Daisy pointed out, as Lara Croft.
After disregarding Daisy's earlier suggestions for names ('Croft', 'Qualopec', 'Jolson'), Ray was surprised to find that he quite liked his wife's final combo suggestions, which they ended up using for the twins. It wasn't until after they had registered their sons that Daisy gleefully announced that 'Larson' and 'Alister Fletcher' were her two favourite Tomb Raider characters. Ray was a little annoyed about being decieved like this, but figured that, now that Daisy had the video-game-related children she craved, she may settle for something a little more normal next time.
Violet has completely taken to little Alister, clamboring to help feed him and bathe him. She has no time for Larson, however, giving him nothing but passing glances of contempt. Amazingly, she can tell the two apart no problem; something her parents have yet to manage. The only clue is that Larson's eyebrows are a little thicker.
Daisy and Ray are still arguing about who will look after the twins (Violet is no problem, she's enrolled full time at the Covent Garden Playgroup), but, for the moment, Daisy is at home taking care of them.
The spare room has been converted into a nursery for the boys, while Banana Skin has moved in with Violet.

With Violet barely in pre-pre-nursery school, Daisy discovered she was pregnant again, with identical twins, no less. They were a little better timed - The Getaway III was a huge success, and the family were currently flush with money - but then Daisy and Ray has the problem of who would stay at home with the new babies. Ray had just been offered a great promotion on the Shard London Bridge team, and was keen not to waste it. Daisy didn't particularly like the idea of being a stay-at-home mother, but she couldn't see an alternative.
After nine months and one week of pregnancy, and a mercifully short five-hour labour, Larson Raymond was born, weighing 5lbs exactly. Alister Fletcher came along twenty minutes later, a little smaller at 4lb 7oz. Both boys are healthy, and have auburn hair and brown eyes; the exact same colouring, an excited Daisy pointed out, as Lara Croft.

Well, Emma is a big sister now! Our sons, Alec and Hayden arrived yesterday morning, and Jack is already planning to teach them to throw a football and swing a baseball bat. This time, for their names, Jack and I decided to honor members of our family (Leighton is my maiden name). At first, Emma was a bit jealous of the boys because of all the attention they got, but she has since warmed up to them and is always following Jack and me around the house, asking if she can help with them. She's even offered to share her toys!
Emma is now three and just started preschool. She absolutely loves it and has no trouble making friends because of her outgoing personality.

Cat: Augustus
Well, the boys have arrived! I'm so happy to have two sons! And Michael, a typical guy, is already planning a life of hockey and football for them. They're beautiful and tiny, but very healthy. Ellis was born first at 3:04 pm, and Milo quickly followed 5 minutes later. They both have light brown hair that will probably get darker with age, but their eyes are a beautiful blue and hopefully will stay like that. Genevieve loves her new little brothers, but is a bit upset at the loss of personal attention. We enrolled her in a playgroup and they meet a few times a week so I can get a few things done around the house and with the boys.

Nan was a little put about at the arrival of not one but two brothers but she has slowly come round. She has started preschool recently and is enjoying it greatly. She is especially taken with art activities.

Question
As Daisy's maiden name is still included in the family name, should I use something else? I just thought that Tony Driver Valentine-Driver might sound a tad odd. ;-)

Of corse, I forgot about that. You can choose a different middle name :o)
