HelpMaking a Family - Step 3
It's time for another letter to your friends and family! Your eldest child(ren) are in school and your younger child(ren) - if you have one, of course =0D - are entering pre-school. Either one of/one set of grandparents are moving into your house or you are having one or more babies. If you have not moved yet, you need to buy a bigger house. If you have already moved, you need to renovate your basement to accomodate your growing family.

Dear all,
For those who we have not talked to in awhile, me, Brian and Josh welcomed Abigail Grace on June 12. Yes another June birthday in the family. Abigail was a little bigger than her brother weighing 7lbs 7oz. She has her daddy's hair (dark blond and wavy) and blue eyes. She also has long eyelashes. She coos all the time and sleeps through night much better than JOsh did. She gets very cranky if she doesn't eat on time though :)
Josh is in first grade at Seton Catholic. He loves his teacher and all we hear is 'Ms. Simon this' and 'Ms. Simon that' and 'Ms. Simon tells us not to do that'. His favorite subjects are science and reading. He wants lots of books and also a science kit for Christmas. He is played teeball last spring and is going to be in LIttle League this upcoming spring.
We finally decided to buy a house. We moved out of the condo and into our new house in Sept. The weather was perfect for moving, not too hot but not too cold. THe house has four bedrooms, a big eat in kitchen, a screened porch in the back and a covered front porch with a porch swing on it. Our new address is 866 Oviatt St.

Hey everyone! How are you all?
We've got some big news for you guys - I just had another baby! It's a second boy, Dylan Thomas (and yes, after the poet - well what did you expect?). He was born on 31 May at 4:46 AM and weighed 7lbs 6oz. Tom and Ben have been to see us every day, and my nurse says Dylan looks exactly like his brother - both the boys take after their dad but they've got blue eyes like me. Thankfully we got settled in our new house in time for me to give birth. It's a four-bedroom right by the river and we all absolutely love it, especially because it has a huge garden for Ben to play football in.

Hello again
My daraling twins have begun pre-school and it's a hectic time for all. I had to but many school supplies with 2 four year olds, a two year old and a large pregnant tummy. Yup, pregnant again. Baby Eamonn Hunter should be comming some time next month.
Also, with Evan's father coming to stay, we're renovating our basement into a tiny apartment for Poppa Caner. We've put up a wall so he has a bedroom and a living area. It's quaint and just darling.
Love,
Sam, Evan, Ivy, Sandy, Lucy, and Eamonn

DD/DD/DD: Estella Inez "Stella", Juliet Louisa "Jules" & Gwendolyn Marie "Gwen" - 8
DD: Calista Violet "Callie" - Expecting
Well Jon and I are expecting once again. This time we are having another girl. Yep, that's right, just the ONE girl. We plan on naming her Calista Violet "Callie". Also we are going to renovate our basement for the new bundle of joy. Stella, Jules and Gwen are all very excited to become big sisters for the first time. They are now 8 years old. We chose to wait to have another child since the three were such a handful, and still are. They are also wanting to help with the decorating for Callie's room since they had so much fun decorating their own rooms.

Dear Friends & Family,
Well, Augustus is officially in school now. He's gotten so big. He still is smaller than the other children, but he doesn't seem to care. He still has the same bog brown eyes & a thick head of dark brown hair, which is odd considering he was bald until he was 1y. He likes the learning part of school, he's proven himself to be very intelligent. He could read & count before he finished Kindergarten. Although he doesn't do well w/ the other children & he misses Kitty & I when he's there. But, that's not the last of our news. we just moved. We're still in the same little town, but we need a bigger place with more bedrooms. :) And why might we need a bigger home, you might be asking. Because opur family is bigger. I just gave birth to my second child, a boy, named Thelonius Mack. He was born 30.April @ 2230. He looks exactly like Augustus did as a baby. Augustus seems intriged by his new brother, but is not too pleased on how he takes my attention away at times. I hope you'll get to come by to meet Thelonius & see our new home.
Elle, Augustus, Thelonius & Kitty

Hey all!
I peed on a stick this morning and I'm pregnant again! Just thought I'd let you all know. ;) We have to renovate the basement now so that Dean and Kai can have rooms of their own. The new baby will take Dean and Kai's room, and little Evie will just stay where she is. I'll keep you posted!

Dear friends and family members,
We here of the Katz family are doing just fine. Davy and Rae-Rae have just started 1st grade and are loving it. They are slightly confused about the lack of toys in the classroom, but I know they'll get used to it. Mikey and Nessa have entered pre-school (God how time flies). Mikey is very shy around the other children, but Nessa is adjusting very well and is helping him to get to know the other kids. Harry's parent's , Lou and Monica, will be moving in within the next two months. That gives us plenty of time to to redo our basement for them. Thank God we moved here when we did. We'll update you on our household extension as the month goes on.
Much love from the Katz family

Dear Everyone,
Daphne and Violet are keeping us busy. Daph is in her first year of kindergarten and Vi is in her first year of preschool. They both enjoy it very much. We are in the process of moving to a larger house that we all adore. Also moving in with us will be Kiran's parents, George and Lida, who will be living in the guest house on the property. I am so happy for them, because they will definitely be helping us with Daphne and Violet. We'll see you all at the housewarming party!
Emily, Kiran, Daphne, and Violet.

Dear Jane,
Guess what, I've had another one! A boy this time, Henry Nicholas. Henry is adorable! He was born on June 9th and weighed 8lbs 2 oz. Annie, Kate and Eliza are doing very well. They love their new brother. Annie and Kate are now in second grade.. they love it and are very popular with their classmates. Eliza is in preschool and although she's shy she loves to play with her friends. Ben's parents have moved in with us so we renovated the basement of the house into an apartment for them.

We're all doing very well.. Annie, Kate, Eliza and little Henry send their love.

We are expecting twins again! The kids and Prior, our dog, are very excited about the babies. They can't wait until March when they will be here. We are redecorating our basement.

Starting in the new year, Grace will begin piano lessons, Piper will begin dance and gymnastics and Wyatt will begin playing intermural basketball and baseball. Whew, that's alot.
Take care,

Parents: Christopher and Shannon Saotome
DD/DS: Lilith Amaya / River Hideaki
DD: Elodia Fortunata
Dear friends and family,
How are you all doing? Things are very well in the Saotome household. Lilith and River are attending kindergarden this year. Chris and I have chosen to enroll them in separate classes. We had a long talk with their school councillor about the strengths and benefits of each choice and decided that it would be better for them to develop socially independent from each other. Both of them are doing very well. It's hard to tell if they miss each other during the day at all! Still, whenever their classes are outside for recess, they always like to play with each other. River has started to take piano lessons this year while Lilith is enrolled in gymnastics.
Elodia is attending pre-school this year. Although she loves to pretend that she doesn't like it when I drop her off, she is actually very popular with the other kids and seems to have a new "favourite friend" every other day. Elodia loves to play ball games with the other kids, along with painting, singing and babies.
My mother is moving in with us next week. She finds her house too quiet and lonely now that my father has passed away. We've renovated the basement so that she has her own bedroom and bathroom. Although she is technically moving in so that we can help her, I think we are the ones who are going to benefit the most - Mom wants to take care of the kids so that I can go back to work. We'll see how long that lasts - my three little munchkins can be quite a handful!
Talk to you soon,
Shannon

Well it is update time for the Arthur family. My parents are moving in (Grace and Jacob) so we are renovating the bassment to be a finished living area so they can have a small apartment to themselves.
Another thing is that we had our twins last week and have names and weights for you.
Gwendolyn Mae was 4lbs 1oz and Garrett Matthew was 3lbs 4oz.
It is a good thing we moved last year!!
