I meant to post this a couple days ago, but I got completely off track. Sorry! As always feel free to skip the first big block of text. :)

With all their children grown up and busy with kids of their own, Benedict, Rhiannon, Septimus, and Lisandra decided to take advantage of their last fit years and travel the world. They try to make the trip back home for all birthdays and holidays, but they’re spending the rest of the time seeing the famous sights and avoiding tourists. They miss their grandchildren, but they figure that they'll have plenty of time to see them later on.
Betsy and Crispin are happy being parents. Luca enjoys running around and playing games, which befuddles her parents as they aren’t athletic at all. Anders got her a broom for her birthday, and he’s started teaching her to fly. Crispin just hopes that she turns out as intelligent as she is active.
Saraphina and Karim are still going back and forth between their homes in Egypt and England. Faris continues to get into mischief whenever possible, and he’s trying to teach his younger siblings, a sister and a brother, to help him pull pranks. It’s exasperating for Saraphina and Karim, but at least he’s accepting of his younger sibs.
Petronilla and Ridge love their five children and they aren’t sure about having more. They’re a tad disappointed that only Io-Victoria actually goes by her full hyphenated name, but they do like the nicknames their other children have chosen and they realize that there’s a lot more to children than their names. Rosie met another girl who’s parents own a business on Diagon Alley and they’ve become close friends. They enjoy walking past the shops and enthusing about Hogwarts and the magical world. Joey (Joseph-Tycho) has gotten a little fed up with having four sisters and he has often been seen looking at Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes merchandise with Faris. He loves his siblings too much to actually prank them, but the girls really do get on his nerves. Io-Victoria is quite quiet and shy and she loves to read. Unfortunately it’s hard to read with her baby sister always crying. The little girls are doing well, but it’s sure difficult for Petronilla and Ridge to take care of a three year old and a newborn while managing a bakery.
Calanthe and Adrian are extremely happy. Rosemary is starting her second hear of high school and has not started dating or anything so her parents are positive she won’t have a kid too early like they did. She helps to take care of her brothers and she’s been earning some extra money babysitting for the boys next door. It’s very easy money for her as she can just bring along Fitz to play with them and relax while he does. Fitzwilliam likes to swim and dive, which completely confuses his parents, but he’s been able to join a young swim team and he’s made a lot of friends. Calanthe and Adrian’s youngest son was born with some deficiencies, but he’s been getting his health up and his parents are confident that he’ll continue to be a strong and lively little boy.
Clara and Maude decided to adopt about five years ago, and were set up with a ten year old boy four years ago. He came from a rough background and he had quite a few unresolved issues that caused him to have low self-esteem and commitment issues. Clara and Maude have been very supportive and they were able to explain when he got a Hogwarts letter when he was eleven. He is coping well in Ravenclaw, and he was happy to welcome an adoptive sister a year ago. She is now seven years old and turning out to be a complete tomboy. She respects her older brother more than anyone, and their moms are so happy with their family.
Anders and Eloise have been traveling a lot lately. They’ve taken Everest and their two year old son to places all around the world and have no plans to settle down just yet. They figure they can teach their sons from the road, and they’ll learn a ton from traveling and actually seeing places from history. Anders is teaching children and adults from the wizarding community all about Quidditch, and he’s enjoying this outreach even more than he enjoys playing professionally. Eloise is treating the sick and discovering new diseases everywhere she goes. She loves being able to help out and feel needed.

Saraphina and Karim gave both their children an Arabic first name that has an easy pronunciation and spelling so they won’t have trouble when he’s in England. Their middle names are from Egyptian Mythology.

---

Ridge and Petronilla have continued to give their children hyphenated first names despite only one of their first three actually going by both. Their first daughter has a classic name first then an astronomy name. Their next daughter has the opposite order: first an astronomy name, then a classic name. They have also continued to honor family members in the middle name spot.

---

Calanthe and Adrian were so concerned about their son’s health when he was born that they didn’t have time to pick a name similar to Rosemary’s and Fitzwilliam’s. Instead they started out calling him by a short nickname and assigned a longer, three syllable name later on that could be shortened to his nickname. His middle name is a short Spanish name.

Since Clara and Maude adopted older children, they didn’t pick out any part of their names. Their son has a nickname as his full first name and a classic name that was popular in the eighties for his middle name. Their daughter has a longer first name that is a feminization of a male name. Her middle name is Greek and modern sounding. Their last names are your choice.

---

Eloise and Anders continued emphasizing their travels in their children’s names. Their second son’s first name is after a landmark or other geographic feature. The middle name, curtesy of Septimus and Lisandra, has a similar feel to Felix.
