Noah is a 28 year old writer from Surrey. Cate grew up down the street from his family and their parents were good friends. Last year, after finishing university and traveling a bit, Noah moved back in with his parents temporarily and went to dinner at the Gossetts. Cate, who is now a doctor, was visiting her parents and Noah and Cate got to talking, renewing their childhood friendship. After a few weeks, it was clear that their relationship was progressing beyond old friends, and eight months later, Noah proposed. They were married last month at the neighborhood church.

With Noah's book sales booming, he has left his part-time job and works from home. Cate is very busy with her practice, so to keep Noah company during the day, she bought him a one-year old white cat, whom they named Athena. Athena is adjusting to the family quite nicely.

Noah and Cate threw a huge dinner party this month to welcome their new neighbors to the community. They are a lovely couple about Noah and Cate's age with a beautiful little baby boy. Cate has taken to having the wife, Molly, over for tea about once a week and Noah will sometimes watch baby Adam when Molly needs to run out.

That took a long time- 10 children and 6 pets
The Gadd family
Stephen Paul Higham has straight blonde hair and bright blue eyes. He is a doctor working in the local hospital.
Stephanie Fiona, who prefers to be called Steph, has wavy light brown hair and green eyes with hazel flecks. She is a newly qualified teacher in the village school.
They live in a lovely 4 bedroom house with a small field in Northumbria, England.
Year 1: Family Event- Fulfil lifelong dream
Stephen and Steph fulfilled one of their dreams and climbed the highest mountains in the Britain. It was exhausting but fun as they did it together and gave each other encouragement.
Year 2: Family Event- Broken bone
On a class trip, after telling the children to be very careful on the steps, Steph trips and breaks her arm while trying to cushion her fall. The children were a little shaken up to see their teacher in pain and being taken to hospital. The arm healed well and there was no lasting damage.
Year 3: Pet- Sheep
Stephen decides that he would like to start breeding sheep. They get 2 Ewes, called Mint and Rosemary and a Ram called Stew. Despite their names the 3 sheep become pets; however their lambs are breed for meat.
Year 4: Celebration- Easter
Stephen and Steph invite both sides of their family to join them for Easter Sunday. There is a huge roast lunch, one of Mint's lambs takes centre stage and is accompanied by seasonal vegetables and potatoes. For dessert there are two big cheesecakes with a selection of fruit so that the guests could make their own topping.

26 Kids All Together!
LN: Evangelista
DH: Michele Domenico (26)
hair: dark blonde, wavy
eyes: brown
DW: Giuseppa Ermelinda (24)
hair: black, curly
eyes: gray
Giuseppa and Michele are Italian, living in Italy. Michele is an editor, while Giuseppa stays at home, working part-time shifts at a bakery. They are a strong Catholic couple wanting to have a big family.
***
Michele and Giuseppa have adopted a half-Italian girl from the U.S. Her name is Gianna Magdalene. She has her father's gorgeous dark brown curls and her mother's entrancing deep blue eyes. Gianna is welcomed into the Evangelista family as one of their own.
Michele & Giuseppa (27 & 25)
Gianna (2) [U.S.]
***
Michele fulfills his lifelong dream of visiting the oratory in Turin set up by St. John Bosco. He and Giuseppa--along with three-year-old Gianna--take a tour of it. Michele is awed. He can't believe that his patron saint--St. Dominic Savio--actually walked in that very place! Let alone his great-great-however-many-greats uncle! He has always found himself having a great devotion to St. John Bosco, St. John Bosco being his great-great-however-many-greats uncle. Giuseppa finds it interesting to walk where a great saint once walked.
Michele & Giuseppa (28 & 26)
Gianna (3) [U.S.]
***
Michele and Giuseppa visit Ireland with Gianna. They find the countryside very refreshing. Gianna seems to be in heaven, just roaming the hills at her leisure!
Michele & Giuseppa (29 & 27)
Gianna (4) [U.S.]
***
Michele buys Gianna a pet goat, whom she names Bosco. He feels that she deserves to be given some responsibility, even at the age of five. Gianna has always been a sweet little child, willing to do whatever she is asked. Gianna is very fond of Bosco.
Michele & Giuseppa (30 & 28)
Gianna (5) [U.S.]
***
Giuseppa, after five years, has finally conceived. And not just one! Not just two! But three! Giuseppa has given birth to two girls and a boy. One of the girls has black hair and green eyes. The other girl has dark blonde hair and blue eyes. The little boy looks almost exactly like his daddy: dark blonde curls and hazel eyes. Margherita Raimonda (black hair, green eyes), Francesca Dafne (dark blonde hair, blue eyes), and Bruno Giovanni are the newest Evangelistas. Margherita already seems to be a sweet little girl. Francesca is sprightly. And Bruno seems to be quite the little rascal--though he can certainly be a saint on his days.

Dog: Aitsa (brown mutt, male)(9*)
Gerbil: Rosie (brown/white female)(4*)
Hens: Cindy, Suzie, Lucy, and Dollie (golden, female)(7*)
Cat: Freedom (black, male)(1)
Beginning: Andy and Ema were married just a few months ago, in Ema's home country of Spain. The two of them moved to South Africa last month, when Andy was transferred to a national news agency there. Andy, having no family connections, has traveled the world and loves being a journalist. Ema stuck closer to home, but has been to many countries in Europe. She is content to follow Andy wherever he goes, but hopes that they will eventually end up back home in Spain.
Year 1: Pet: Dog
Andy and Ema adopt a stray dog into their home. His name is Aitsa, for his ever-present excited demeanor. Andy thinks Aitsa is only a few months old, because he has huge brown paws and seems to be growing like a weed. Ema enjoys having Aitsa around, especially when Andy is away on assignment for a few days.
Year 2: Random: Someone is in an accident
A few weeks ago, while on assignment, Andy was in a car accident. Their "news van"--or what passes as a news van in South Africa--lost traction on a sloping road and rolled down into an embankment. Andy suffered a fractured arm and slight concussion. The other three men with him suffered similar injuries. Thankfully, they were able to return in one piece.

5. The girls have always talked about their older brother who was put in a different orphanage and they had never seen him again. It took 5 years but we found out what happened to him. Even though he is already 17 we decided to adopt him anyway and make them a family again. He looks so much like the girls. His name is Samuel Liam.
6. We found out that John’s father has cancer.
7. Sam is really into racing horses so we bought a horse. It is mostly brown with a few white markings around its face. His name is Somerset.

LN: Kijek
DBF: Ruarc Phaedrus (17)
hair: brown, straight
eyes: brown
DGF: Lyra Viviana (16)
hair: blonde, straight
eyes: amber
Ruarc works part-time as a janitor at a restaurant and Lyra is an intern as a magazine editor. They've been together for a year, meeting each other in a math class.
Year 1
Lyra broke her ankle one weekend due to an unfortunate accident with a donkey. She was on crutches for 4 weeks.
Year 2
Lyra gets a part-time job in a different department of the same magazine, though she hopes to eventually become an editor or get another job.
Year 3
In a turn of events neither of them were prepared to, Lyra gets pregnant at 20...with triplets. Fortunately, Ruarc is able to start working full-time, but with both of them partway through attending University, this will be difficult. In wedlock, they marry.
DS/DS/DD: Nikolai Aras / William Ulric / Ines Genevieve (0)
Nikolai has black, curly hair and brown eyes.
William has brown, straight hair and violet eyes.
Ines has blonde, straight hair and hazel eyes.
They're quite fraternal children...
Year 4
Ruarc's aunt from Australia, a single parent, passed away this year. With Ruarc's parents divorced and uninterested in parenting, the Kijek couple adopting is the only option besides putting her child in a foster home. They agree to take her in.
AD: Ophelia Ruth (6)
Ophelia has blonde, curly hair and green eyes.
Year 5
While both Ruarc and Lyra have moved up in the ranks of their companies (restaurant server studying to be an architect and magazine editor,) the young parents are becoming quite busy...especially with new births.

Lily and Alex weren't having a baby, they were having three! It turned out to be all boys, and even though it was a lot of work for Lily and Alex they couldn't be happier with their growing family. Zach has curly blonde hair and green eyes, Liam has wavy brown hair and brown eyes, and Oliver got straight blonde hair and violet eyes.

Year 4:
Lily realized that she couldn't work full time and taking care of her four children at the same time. And she thought the children were too young for a nanny, so she decided to work part-time instead.
Year 5:
Lily and Alex hadn't planned for more children in a while, but when Alex heard about triplets from Ireland who had lost both their parents and didn't have any family left, he just had to talk it through with Lily. Thankfully Lily agreed, and the two of them did what needed to be done in order for them to adopt the kids. Three months later they were proud parents to another set of triplets, two girls and a boy! Aoife has curly blonde hair and hazel eyes, while Niamh has curly red hair and violet eyes. The boy, Kieran, has straight black hair and amber eyes.

2000 (Y1)
Just a year after Cade and Percy are married, tragedy strikes the newlyweds. Percy dies of a heart attack while on the job. Cade is heartbroken, and does not know how he can go on. However, then he meets a woman named Delilah (aka Lily), and they begin to date.
2001 (Y2)
After dating for 7 months, Cade and Lily decide to adopt. They adopt an adorable 5-year old girl from Germany named Adelaide Felicie. Cade is so happy that he almost forgets about Percy's tragedy. Almost.
2002 (Y3)
One day, Addy brings home a stray dog, whom she has named "Mika". Cade is a bit nervous about bringing the stray into his home, but Lily assures him that no harm will be done. Mika is a very well-behaved dog and is one of Addy's best friends.
2003 (Y4)
The whole family is surprised when they find a goat outside their house, chained to a tree. Cade loosens it and tells it to "shoo", but it does not leave. Addy makes friends with the goat and begs her dad to let them keep it. Cade reluctantly agrees. Addy names him "Koby"
2004 (Y5)
A few months after Cade and Lily marry, they decide to adopt another child... a boy, also from Germany. He is 10-years old and loves playing with Addy, his new little sister. His name is Emmerich Friedemann, but everyone just calls him "Ricky".

After years of trying, Lily has finally had a baby. He is a plump baby, with straight hair and hazel eyes like his father, and blonde hair like his mother. They have named him "Ammon James".
