DS: Harper Kai Pagano (1)
A fancy restaurant in Honolulu offered Mathilda a lot of money to come work for them, so the family packed up and moved to a beautiful house on the big island. Although Ben and Mattie miss their beloved beach house, their new place is a lot bigger and will be perfect for the large family they both want.

Ben and Mattie had some time off and decided it was time for a family trip. They went to the Redwood National park in California. Harper loved the giant trees and insisted on having his picture taken in front of several dozen of them.

Harper was thrilled to hear that he would be getting little siblings and was even more excited when Ben and Mattie announced that it would be twin girls. Bryony Zahra and Cecily Layla were born on Valentine's Day already sporting curly brown hair and their mother's bright green eyes. They also already had their daddy and big brother wrapped around their little fingers.

Bennet was offered the chance to buy out the garage where he worked and did so gladly. It's a lot more paperpushing than he particularly likes, but the business is very profitable. With Harper, Bryony, and Cecily growing like weeds, it was important to Ben to be able to provide for his family.

Auden Iolana joined the crew on October 10, after Mattie went three weeks past her due date and had to be induced. Auden is a lot louder than her brother and sisters ever were, and she also has straight black hair and hazel eyes. Harper and the twins are always asking to hold her.

Less than a year after adopting Kiran, Ben and Mattie had another little girl. Miriam Simone was born on August 5 with no complications. She has wavy brown hair and dreamy blue eyes. Harper and Kiran doted over her constantly, and the girls kept asking when she'd be big enough for tea parties.

Ben and Mattie took the kids on a daytrip to Waikiki when Mattie went into sudden, early labor. Little Harmony Viridian was born right there on the beach on August 20. She had curly black hair like her mother and dreamy blue eyes just like Miriam. Family friends teased that Miriam and Harmony were Irish twins since they were born barely a year apart.
