Dear friends and family:Bella has graduated college and has decided to become a psychologist. We are thrilled! Jamie was always our trouble-maker. This year he has to repeat 11th grade because he didn't do a major report. The baby-machine pops out another one (our last!) and now we have Anthony Victor. Baby Tony weighed eight pounds, one ounce and was twenty inches long. He was born July 8. Just a week and a half later, on July 20, the pet cat, Lucy, was hit by a car and died. Yet to lift our spirits, we won three million dollars from the lottery! Yay!Everyone is doing more or less fine. I am in the process of writing a book. Chris just left the company where he worked for a different company that will be more successful in. Bella is happy about graduating college. Matt is currently laid up- he broke his right leg in six places. After several surgeries, he was released on crutches with a cast from toes to hip! Just like Mommy... James is doing much better this year- he has gotten very good grades on his projects. No worries about education this year! Karen is in seventh grade and finds it amusing to to steal Matt's crutches and run off with them. She's grounded for this, yet is "kept alive" by chatting with her friends on the phone in her room.Love,
Hannah, Chris,
Bella, Matt, Jamie, Karen, Tony

Hi to all,
I can't believe how much time has flown!Ryan and Ollie both graduated at the end of last year, I can't remember the last time I cried that hard! Highschool was an interesting time, with the boys ending up in different social circles as i'd worried, yet it seems my fears were unfounded as they managed to bridge those social barriers and remain the best of friends.Ryan's now playing Rugby semi-professianally. He's in the under 21's NZ representative side and is off to play a tour in Australia and South Africa next month. We're so proud, and he's still very passionate about the game and gets a real joy out of playing. He's also involved in a serious relationship with, quite literally, the girl next door, Natalia Regan who he and Ollie used to play with when they were little.Ollie's at university on scholarship studying to become a Pharmacist, and already has a job waiting at a leading Pharmacutical manufactureer for when hes finished his degree. He and his high school girlfriend, Aimee Victoria, have recently got engaged and Aimee's pregnant with my first grandchild! They're both young admittedly, but i know that they'll be great parents.Alyssa is unfortuantely having to repeat a year as she took time out last year to attend the gymnastic world championships. She did really well and her coach beleives that with a bit more work Alyssa could be in with a chance to make it to the Olympics! Daniel is her number one fan and boasts about her to all his friends constantly. But this may also be because all the boys have crushes on Alyssa and Daniel's popularity ratings soar when people find out that shes his twin!

Rebecca & PierreAloysius "Fox"
Phineas "Jory" & Atticus "Rune"
Emmanuel "Amias"
Caspian "Sloane" , Thaddeus "Luca" , Peregrine "Cohen"Aloysius "Fox" has graduated from highschool! He is going to the royal academy of music in London. We will miss him greatly, but he needs to go so that he can make use of his great talent. Jory and Rune have had to repeat a grade. They will be traveling throughout Eurpope next year with the Royal academy of Ballet, so they will miss alot of school.We now have our last child Ignatius "Hugo" after my close friend Hugh who recently passed away, he was the godfather of all the children and an uncle to me.We have moved into an extremely large 10 bedroom home with 10 acres of land with a river, swimming pool, tennis court etc..Pierre's business has joined with a Japanese firm which has been a godsend because they paid 1 million dollars to join, which means that we can buy Fox a house and that Jory and Rune can have a private tutor in Europe!

Harper is working in a small law office a fair distance South of here now. I don't see her as often as I like but she's very happy living with her girlfriend Kat. Lucas is a Junior Art at an school in Boston and Ambrose is on a Basketball scholorship at UCLA. All of my children are so successful. Unfortunatly Jack will be repeating his Junior year of high school due to his lack of attendance. I'm very upset that he will be moving at a slower pace, but I'll be happy as long as he is.
Evan, Jack and I are moving down the road. It seems silly but we had such a large home when there was four children living with us but we decided we wanted to live somewhere cozy since we'll be starting over. Well, not starting over but I'm expecting a little girl to arive in the fall. I think I will call her Ariella Bronwen. But, we've put a down payment on a three bedroom town house. It's adorable, nice and snug. Secluded, but still around everything. I love it and I'm so glad we can afford it thanks to Lucas who sold a few paintintgs and gave the money to his family.Mother:
A tragic event has occured. My little girl Ariella was still born. I love her like I love my other child but I'm devestated that I will never know her.

Dear family and friends - Wyatt has graduated from high school now and is in his 2nd year of college. He wants to be a pediatrician. Atticus and Joseph are seniors and excited about graduating. Atticus wants to be an architect, but has not chosen to a college. Joseph will be going to the same school as Wyatt, but has not decided on a major. Grace is in the 5th grade again this year. Her dsylexia cause some big problems last year and the teacher recommed repitition. Grace was really upset, but has adjusted fairly well now. We had our late in life baby when we had our daughter Piper Isabella. She is 5 years old and in kindergarten this year. We have recently moved into our new house. It is an old-fashioned Victorian with 6 bedrooms. Sadly, Grandpa Scott recently passed away. Just when we were panicking about having 3 kids in college and the flood that destroyed our new basement, we found several paintings in our attic that turned out to be worth a few million dollars! Everyone is basically doing great and we feel truly blessed in our lives.Take care,
Chelsea

The twins Alek and Gordie are to graduate Joliet in a year and we could not be more proud of them! Orrin and Moyra have to repeat the 11th grade while Neasa graduates this spring and she is Solutatorian of her class. Orrin and Moyra have to repeat the 11th because they did not complete their end of term paper or the solo part of their paper in the advanced music class. I was not happy to hear this but they are on track and Moyra completed it in summer school so will be graduating with Neasa.. Orrin on the other hand ... he is my rebel...he will get there.Last month we had yet again another child a boy Doran James who was 8lbs even and 19 in long. Dark green eyes and black hair like his uncle and grandfather...God rest his soul.We have since moved into a huge Colonial home with 8 bedrooms a study huge kitchen sitting room and living area!Since loosing father we have been tight on money and so I took a silly chance at the New York Lottery and WE WON 12.6 million dollars!! What else can I do but thank God for this winfall he is truly the sender of mercy and grace!We got thru the graduations and prepared for another and my boys have done well in choosing a wife and my daughters have married and have children and their careers.... the baby is still home little Doran James but he is doing fine even if he is a CF child. We have our days but more good than bad. with love
