DH: Vitaliy Gena Romanov (straight brown hair, brown eyes)(teacher)(26)
DW: Galina Marta (Nikolaevna) Romanov (curly black hair, green eyes)(bakery)(23)
Vitaliy and Galina were married two weeks ago. They met six years ago at a coffee shop and immediately started spending time together. After Vitaliy finished his education degree, he got a job and proposed to Galina. She has been working at her father's bakery since she was seventeen and enjoys the work. The two of them are living with Vitaliy's grandmother, who raised him and his brother.
Year 1: birth; girl; pay raise

Vitaliy and Galina welcomed their first child into the family this year--baby Anya was born just after the first snowfall. Vitaliy has been doing well in his teaching, and was given a significant pay raise this year and some additional responsibilities as well.
Year 2: child--miscarriage; family reunion

Galina became pregnant when Anya was six months old, but suffered a miscarriage a few weeks later. She and Vitaliy were upset, but had not yet told anyone about her pregnancy. They hope to try for another child once Anya is a little older. On a happier note, Vitaliy and Galina attended a family reunion. Galina's family is spread throughout Russia, Ukraine, and even England and the United States. Once every ten years, they get together for a week-long celebration. This year, they enjoyed time reconnecting with Galina's family and introducing everyone to one-year-old Anya.

The Idowu Family
DW [22] Alysia Iola (Peña) Idowu - straight brown hair; green eyes ~ missionary nurse
DH [30] Suhayl Alhaji Idowu - curly black hair; brown eyes ~ English teacher
Alysia Peña, 19 at the time, met Suhayl Idowu during a mission to Rwanda. She had learned her third language, French (as well as English and Spanish, being half-American and half-Puerto Rican) to be able to journey on health missions across the world. She thoroughly enjoyed her 18-months there, and was sad to have to leave. The couple kept in-touch overseas though, and planned Alysia's return in only a few months. She stayed longer than expected, and Suhayl and Alysia got even more serious. At the end of the trip, they happily got engaged. Alysia made a permanent move to Rwanda, continuing her mission of tending to the medical needs of the people there. The couple just got married and are thrilled to begin their life together.

DS [0] Sebastián Ayokunle Idowu - curly black hair; green eyes
Alysia and Suhayl had a baby boy! They were not expecting to have kids so soon, but, of course, it was a pleasant surprise! His name is Sebastián Ayokunle. Sebastián honored Alysia's heritage and was easy to pronounce in English, French, Spanish and Swahili. Ayokunle means "joy has filled the home", which they liked and it honored Suhayl's heritage.

Year 0 - Toronto, Canada
DW [26]: Autumn Marlowe (Edwardson) Řezníček (curly brown hair, brown eyes, nurse)
DH [27]: Sebastián Silvestr Řezníček (wavy brown hair, green eyes, hockey player)
Autumn is a Toronto native who met Czech hockey player Sebastián when she was treating him after a particulary nasty injury in training three years ago. They quickly hit it off and got married earlier this year. (I have now realised I know nothing about ice hockey, oops.)
Year 1 - Toronto, Canada
DW [27]: Autumn Marlowe (Edwardson) Řezníček (curly brown hair, brown eyes, nurse)
DH [28]: Sebastián Silvestr Řezníček (wavy brown hair, green eyes, hockey player)
DS1 [0]: Lukas Šimon Řezníček (wavy brown hair, green eyes)
Autumn and Sebastián welcome a son, Lukas, who is already the spitting image of his father. Only a month after, however, Sebastián suffers an injury that leaves him unable to walk for weeks and definitively ends his competitive career on the ice. After a few months of rehabilitation, he decides he may as well make the most of the situation and finds a job coaching a youth hockey team in the city.
Year 2 - Toronto, Canada
DW [28]: Autumn Marlowe (Edwardson) Řezníček (curly brown hair, brown eyes, nurse)
DH [29]: Sebastián Silvestr Řezníček (wavy brown hair, green eyes, hockey coach)
DS1 [1]: Lukas Šimon Řezníček (wavy brown hair, green eyes)
DS2 [0]: Leo Zdeněk Řezníček (curly brown hair, brown eyes)
Deciding to get the toddler years out of the way quickly, Autumn and Sebastián try for another child and welcome a second son, Leo, who closely resembles his mother. However, Sebastián has discovered that coaching isn't really what he expected it to be, and so he decides to take a job with a Czech media outlet, writing analysis of NHL games - the new job allows him to work from home, meaning he can spend more time with his sons.
Year 3 - Toronto, Canada
Sebastián's old injury worsens again after he slips on some ice when out with Autumn and the boys - he's left on crutches for several weeks, and the doctor tells him he should always be aware of the strain he's putting on his leg.
