The Beginning: Moshe and Delilah both come from Orthodox Jewish families. The two of them are Jewish, but don't consider themselves strictly Orthodox. Moshe has jet black hair and soft brown eyes. Delilah has long straight brown hair and brown eyes as well. Moshe is a businessman. He works for a large corporation in their research and development department. He enjoys his job, and the occasional chances he has to go on business trips. Delilah currently works as a school janitor. She works in an elementary school, and is part of the day staff there. She likes her job, mostly because it is a part-time job, and she's around kids most of the day, even if she doesn't interact with them. Delilah has dreams of a large family, while Moshe wants just one or two children.

Year 1: Job; pay raise
Moshe got a pay raise this year. He was promoted to a lower-level management position within the company, and with the promotion came a hefty pay raise. Moshe now makes enough to support both himself and Delilah on his salary alone, but Delilah enjoys her job, so she's sticking to it for now.

Year 2: birth: boy (straight black hair, brown eyes); found out about pregnancy in weird way; FN associated w/ocean, MN associated w/presidents
Moshe and Delilah were elated to find out that they were going to have a baby--even moreso when doctors told them it was a boy. Both Moshe and Delilah wanted their firstborn to be a son--not that they wouldn't want a daughter, but they really wanted a son. Dylan Abraham Florenthal was born a week and a half before his due date, but he was healthy. He has his father's jet black hair, and shares his brown eyes with his parents. Just before Delilah found out she was pregnant, she received a phone call from Moshe's mother, Hannah. Hannah stated that God told her in a dream that Moshe and Delilah were going to be parents, and that they would have a little boy. Delilah thanked Hannah, but dismissed her dream as simply that--a dream. Two days later, her own mother, Rivka, called her and told a story much the same as Hannah's. She'd had a dream that Moshe and Delilah would have a son within the year. Delilah dismissed her mother's dream as a simple dream as well. When she became violently ill the next morning, the thought occurred to her that maybe her mother and mother-in-law were right. A week later, she went to the doctor and he told her she was about six weeks pregnant. When she was four months pregnant, Delilah made the decision to quit her job as a janitor and devote herself full-time to raising her son.

Year 3: adoption: 5 year old girl from Australia
Dylan was just a few months old when Moshe and Delilah got a phone call from one of Moshe's cousins in Australia. She was a single mother, and did not live within the Jewish community. She told Moshe that doctors had just informed her that she had a brain tumor, and had less than a year to live. She decided to get in touch with her family again and see if one of them would raise her daughter. Moshe flew out to see her immediately and fell in love with her daughter, Annie. He spent two weeks in Australia, then returned to the United States to tell the rest of the family the bad news. Just eleven weeks after he returned, he got a phone call from a hospital in Australia, saying that his cousin had passed away suddenly. The cousin had designated Moshe as next of kin, and therefore, he was responsible for her daughter. Moshe and Delilah made the decision to raise the little girl instead of giving her up for adoption. Anna Elisabeth Goldberg joined the family two months ago. She was quiet at first, but Dylan seemed to draw her out of her shell, and now she hardly mentions Australia.

Year 4: job; pay raise
After three years at his current salary, Moshe was given another substantial pay raise. He was surprised, to say the least, but is happy that he can provide for his family.

---

Year 5: pet: rodent
Moshe and Delilah had agreed that when Dylan got to preschool, that they would get a pet. They went to the pet store, and let Annie choose a little hamster to help care for. She chose a small yellow and white hamster, which Dylan named "Josie".
