DW: Nora Kathleen (Scott) Lowry (UN worker)(straight red hair, hazel eyes)(23)Matt and Nora Lowry were married three weeks ago in a quiet, family affair. Matt is a comedian who travels the country doing stand-up and improv routines. He travels with two or three of his buddies, and they have a number of routines they do. Nora works for the UN as an event coordinator. She loves to plan and take care of all the little details that come with her line of work. She and Matt met three years ago at a coffee shop. They've been fairly inseperable since. They have a small apartment in London. Year 1: Buy a House

DW: Nora Kathleen (Scott) Lowry (UN worker)(straight red hair, hazel eyes)(24)Matt and Nora have been married for just over a year now. They have both been saving as much money as they could. They saved up enough to move to a 3-bedroom flat in Ealing. They are hoping to start a family soon. Matt loves his job, and he makes a fair amount of money at it. Nora enjoys her job as well. She and Matt enjoy traveling. Since a lot of Nora's contracts don't require her to be on-site, she can travel with Matt on some of his comedic journeys. They have an upcoming trip to Ireland that both are looking forward to.

After all the trouble they had conceiving the boys, Matt and Nora figured they were probably done having kids. They were happily surprised to find out they were expecting a third child. Matt is glad to have a job with steady hours so he can help out with the kids in the evening. Nora is still working part-time hours and loves her role as a mother. Ian and Wyatt are rambunctious little guys who keep both Nora and Matt on their toes. Nora's horse, Thunder, passed away unexpectedly from colic this year. Nora was devastated, but is a little bit relieved that she doesn't have to worry about making sure Thunder gets plenty of exercise during the week when she can't get there to ride.

She is still a bit of a clingy toddler, but she's starting to branch out and make friends with some of the other little kids in the neighborhood.

DS/DS: Oliver Lucas Lowry and James Thomas Lowry (straight brown hair, blue eyes)(0)
Dog: Louie (Goldendoodle)(6)If Matt and Nora thought Aaron's birth was surprising, they were even more surprised to find out they were expecting another baby just four months after Aaron was born. Oliver Lucas Lowry and James Thomas Lowry were born twelve minutes apart.
Never did Matt and Nora think to have seven children in fifteen years. Their older twins, Ian and Wyatt are nine. They are a handful in the classroom, but love to be outside. Hannah, 7, loves helping Nora with the "little boys" when she isn't in school. Grace is looking forward to going to school next year, and she is the most academic of the Lowry children. Aaron is nearly a year and a half old now. He is a quiet little guy who likes to watch all the activity going on around him.
