ROUND 1
Dear Lucy,
I'm so sorry you couldn't make the wedding but I really do hope the surgery went alright.
The wedding went brilliantly and everything was so perfect! Harry was a total gentlemen. He paid for the whole thing and said I could have whatever I wanted!!! We decided to have a traditional church wedding: a big white dress, red roses and a lovely reception in a country hotel. It was perfect really! My dad's speech was soo embarassing but everyone loved it! He has a slide-show of me growing up - basically all of my really embarassing moments! There was me wandering around as a little girl with a bowl on my head wearing only a superhero cape, me with chocolate all over my face...everything! I do have to admit it was great!!!
We're moving into the new house this weekend. It was in a bit of a state when we first got it so after the wedding we stayed in rented accomodation. We've knocked the downstairs into one open area space, extended the downstairs, put in a downstairs toilet and a conservatory. Upstairs we've put in an extra bedroom and extended the bathroom which have all made the house really spacios and comfy. We've also put in new windows, a skylight, carpets, plastered and painted the walls and ceiling, ect. The house looks great! You should come and see it ASAP. I already knew I loved the house's location but its really great inside and outside. Its detatched and has a beautiful big garden. There is a weeping willow outside and Harry has promised to fix a swing in it! I can't wait!
Love Claire
ROUND 2
Dear Lucy,
I'm writing to you with an invitation. You are to come home to your niece or nephews baby shower!!! Harry and I are expcting a baby! RSVP ASAP!!!
Love Claire
Dear Lucy,
You are now the proud aunt to baby Marissa Skye!!! The labou wasn't as bad as I expected really and neither was the pregnancy. After all I got my baby girl from it! She's perfect really: huge blue eyes, curly brown hair like her mummy and Aunt Lucy, chubby little cheeks and a sparkle in her eye! She's got the sweetest little temperment. She doesn't cry (too much!) and she sleeps for most of the night. I only had to get up once last night, Harry is such a help! We painted her bedroom yellow and light green. Its very sweet and fresh looking and we did up our old cot! Remember the yellow one with daisies that you, Holly and I slept in?
To look after my little Riss I've quit my job. Nothing is as important as my baby girl! Harry has also cut back his working hours so he can spend more time with us which is great! Also he finally got around to putting up the swing!!!
Love you baby sister, Claire
ROUND 3
Hey Luce!
How are things where you are? I hope Paul and the kids are doing well. The twins still up to mischief?
Harry and I have news. We're going to adopt twin girls!!! They're newborn. They're not from abroad but from Scotland. We're going to name them: Keira Holly and Lucy Katherine!!! They're very sweet with wispy blonde hair and big greeny-blue eyes. Keira is slightly taller but certainly the quiet one! She loves to sit on her daddy's knee and listen to stories whilst Lucy prefers playing with noisy toys and Azura her teddybear! Its very lucky that our house is big becaus the day before we signed to finalise the adoption we discovered we were expecting. Two weeks later a doctor told us it was triplets!!! We're having two girls and a boy. They'll be called Seth Jaxon, Natalie Brianna and Imogen Sara. They look like their big sister: golden brown curly hair and big blue eyes. Seth looks like his daddy and is very handsome! Poor him living with so many boys!!! Marissa is absoulutely in her element. She is the best big sister ever and doesn't get jealous. She's also a great help to me! Despite our house being big though we're extending into the attic. We're building a further three bedrooms up there, all with ensuites and are extending downstairs. The kitchen is bigger and a playroom has been added.
I better go: two of the babies are crying!
Love Claire
ROUND 4
Dear Lucy,
Marissa has been pestering me for ages for a puppy. After a lot of consideration (we have a lot on our plate already) we bought her a little labrador/beagle/retriever mix. Its a mutt really but I've never met a cuter and better-tempered dog in my life. Perfect for our little kids! She's mad as a hatter and runs round the garden barking with them all chasing after her. We named her Polliana.
Marissa is in school now. She's top of her class (of course!!!) and doing very well. She loves reading to the little ones.
Keira and Lucy are getting up to all kinds of hijinks wandering around the house. Keira is showing an extreme aptitude for art. Lucy has an aptitude for chattering!
Seth is doing great being the only boy. He's great friends with his daddy and they love playing kickabout or catch in the garden (often with Polliana joining in!)
Imogen and Natalie are chattering away as well and love pushing their dolls around together and telling me "We have to do the washing now mummy."
Also one of my books was published! I couldn't believe it...we're saving a lot of money but it let us do up the house and go on our first foreign holiday. It was brilliant!
It was really nice seeing you, Paul, Susanna, Thomas and Peter at the funeral. I'm sorry it could of been better circumstances than dad's funeral. How are your kids coping? Mine don't really understand. Marissa asked where Papa was and why Nana was so sad but I told her he had gone to heaven to be with god and Nana missed him. She seemed to accept it.
Love Claire
ROUND 5
LUCY!
Harry and I are adopting a baby boy! He's called Jamie Daniel. He's from London. They found him, only a few hours old, on the steps of a hospital. We heard the story from a friend who works there and couldn't resist this oppourtunity. Sadly with seven children, we decided that our little house (well not really that little!) was just not big enough for all our things. We moved into a new-built estate. Well not really an estate: its a series of 6 new build houses, 2 converted barn cottages and 5 flats in the old castle. We have one of the houses. Its stunning! It has seven bedrooms (Harry and I, Marissa, Lucy and Keira, Seth, Natalie and Imogen, Jamie's and a guest room), a huge kitchen with eating area and a sitting area. Then there is a massive double height famiy room, a study, a playroom and ensuites in all the rooms. We have our own garden and garage and also access to a huge private park, swimming pool, sauna, steam room, gym and tennis court! Our neighbours are all amazing. We've made really good friends with a couple called Tim and Lisa who have a family of 5. The kids are good friends as well and I fell safe letting them run about wherever they want (the estate is walled with an enterance gate). You'll have to come and stay!
All our love
Claire, Harry, Marissa, Lucy, Keira, Seth, Imogen, Natalie and Jamie
ROUND 6
Harry and I have now moved out of our big house. With all the kids living away from home it was too big for us and when we heard that two of the flats in the castle were for sale we bought one and were delighted when Tim and Lisa did the same!
Marissa is great. She's 26 now and has two sons of our own with her husband Jacob. They're called Lucas Damien and Nikolai Scott. The boys are 5 and 2 respectively. We're very proud of our Marissa - she's a great mum and works in a hospital as a nurse.
Lucy is extremely taklative. The twins are now 23. Lucy is a journalist and going to move in with her highschool sweetheart Jett. He's a great guy and so very honest and kind. A great guy all round!
Keira is an artist now. She paints and draws all day long! Her talent is stunning...She has had several shows and is proving to be very successful. A leading magazine said of her "The next Monet. I'm serious - this girl has talent."
The triplets are 22. Seth is great. He's just out of university. He was studying primary teaching and is now taking a year out to teach orphans in Nigeria.
Imogen is currently focusing on being a mum. She's just had a daughter called Ruby. Sadly for her her boyfriend wanted nothing to do with the baby. She's living with us now and we're helping with the baby but she is very able and a great and responsible mum.
Natalie is working in an office as an IS manager. She's great!!!
I better go, send my love to Paul and the kids (although I can't really call them that!)
