Klaus's Family (+20)
Spouse1: Niklaus Carson McGee
Hair: wavy black
Eyes: blue
Job: HumanitarianSpouse2: Lilibet Tammie {Rickard}
Hair: wavy blonde
Eyes: blue
Job: HumanitarianLocation: IrelandBackground Information:
After completing University in Australia, Klaus took a chance to move to Ireland when he was 23 because of the little work on offer in his home town, coupled with the fact that his twin brother had begun to make a life for himself in Denmark. Soon after arriving in Ireland, Klaus met a beautiful young woman, Lilibet, they have recently gotten married after 18months of dating.
-------------------Year1: Although Bettie has only just started in her new job after graduating from university, she is eager to start a family young as she hates how old her own parents had been she they had her. Despite not being 100% sure himself, Klaus agrees to try, and straight away Bettie was delighted to found out she is expecting! She gives birth to a baby boy with straight black hair and hazel eyes, as soon as Klaus holds his son he feels the powerful force of the bond of being a parent. Baby McGee is named Zander Niklaus.Klaus (25) and Bettie (22)

-------------------Year2: With her maternity leave coming to an end, Bettie decides to change departments within her job as a humanitarian so that she can spend more time with her little boy. Bettie's job is now more office based and she only works three and a half days a week.Klaus (26) and Bettie (23)
with Zander (1).
-------------------Year3: To say that Klaus wasn't sure when Bettie and he first started trying for Zander, Bettie is very surprised that he suggests they try to give their son a sibling. Pleased that Klaus wants another child, as Bettie had also been broody since finding out Klaus's twin brother, Arthur, and his wife are expecting, they agree to give it ago. Almost immediately they conceive, and Bettie gives birth to a gorgeous girl with wavy blonde hair and hazel eyes. Her name is Henrietta Willa McGee.Klaus (27) and Bettie (24)

and Henny (nb).
-------------------Year4: As a child Klaus would have loved a dog to grow up with, and since Bettie came from a busy household that also encompassed a few dogs, she agrees to his suggestion to adopt a puppy. Wanting it to be a surprise for the children, Klaus goes to the shelter alone and picks out a gorgeous male black Labrador puppy - http://www.pptbackgrounds.net/uploads/black-labrador-puppy-backgrounds-wallpapers.jpg
With help from Zander, the new family pet's name becomes Zing.Klaus (28) and Bettie (25)

-------------------Year5: Loving the relationship that Zander and Henny have together, Klaus and Bettie agree to try for another baby, only to wind up with twins! Having identical twin sisters, Bettie always knew that there could be a chance of her giving birth to twins, but the couple are still pleasantly surprised. Twin girls, both with curly brown hair and brown eyes, are born healthy and are named; Wisteria Isis and Margot Erika McGee.Klaus (29) and Bettie (26)

and Zing the Labrador (1)
-------------------Year6: After learning about amphibians at school, Zander comes home so enthusiastic with his new knowledge that, on the sly, Klaus goes off and buys his son a frog that he can keep as a pet. Bettie isn't ecstatic to start with but she soon warms to the idea, and to Fuzzy.Klaus (30) and Bettie (27)

-------------------Year7: Klaus and Bettie's family home is caught in a flash flood that sees them all suddenly homeless. Luckily for them, Bettie comes from a large family who are willing to take them in so; Klaus and his son take refuge with Bettie's big brother and his family, Bettie and the twins stay with one of Bettie's twin sisters while Henny and Zing are welcomed to Bettie's other twin sister's (Fuzzy accompanies Klaus and Zander.) It takes three uncomfortable months for their home to become habitable again and another six months on top of that for the McGees to get back to normal.Klaus (31) and Bettie (28)

-------------------Year8: Bettie's wonderful mother - an amazing woman who brought up six children single handedly - dies aged 62 from breast cancer that she fought for almost two years. The family is in turmoil but pull together at this difficult time.Klaus (32) and Bettie (29)

-------------------Year9: Just a year after Bettie's mum's death, the family is rocked by another tragic loss when one of Bettie's twin sisters is killed while on holiday in Greece. She was only 35 and the mum of twin girls, Juno Matilda and Luna Caroline who are 11, in her will it was hinted at that she wanted Bettie to take in the children - she is more than happy to honour her sister's wish.Klaus (33) and Bettie (30)

-------------------Year10: With money cut to his sector, Klaus finds his hours cut in a bid for his superiors to meet targets set by the government wanting to spend less. This comes as a blessing in disguise as Bettie has been finding it difficult to cope with their adopted nieces' increasingly eratic behaviour as well as their biological children. Thankful just to keep his job, Klaus focuses all of his extra time on a his big, wonderful, yet slightly dysfunctional, family.-------------------After 10 years the McGee family looks like:
