A few months before Merry and Gus turned two, Elliot and Laure started talking about another baby that would complete their family. As neither of them was getting any younger, they started trying a few months later and were overjoyed when they conceived already after the first month they tried. Just weeks later they found out, there was another set of twins on the way, this time fraternal. The idea of seven children was enough for Laure to propose the big V to Elliot and surprisingly he had no objections. Their last two children, Adrien Lancelote & Antoinette Florence Turner de Vere arrived on 23rd December just in time to be the best Christmas present the family ever received. Adrien with his red hair and grey eyes was a bit smaller than his twin sister who is lovingly called Netty and has a head full of blondish curls and grey eyes. Their personalities are yet to be determined as for now all they need is their mommy, lots of cuddles and a clean diaper.

Recently they've also signed Ani into gymnastics in a hope that she'll burn some of the excesive energy she has in there. She and also Merry and Gus are attending pre-school two times a week and enjoy time with their new found friends. Adrien and Netty are already a year old and they are both very active babies. Laure is rather sure that in addition to Ani and Gus they have another set of future athletes on their hands. Not everything was good this year thought as the family two dogs passed away in a span of a week of old age. The kids took it very hard and begged the parents for a new dog. The family visited a local animal shelter and agreed on a one year old golden retriever which they named Jazz, a name chosen by Sasha.

The grandchildren just keep coming! Laure sighed happily when Sasha called them on early morning of 31st December and announced the birth of his identical twin sons, Matthieu Elliot & Cyprien Amaury Turner de Vere. The whole family traveled to Brussels on the last day of the year to meet the new additions, Matthieu looks just like his momy, while Cyprien is the mix of his parents. It was also the perfect time for Sasha and Stéphanie to announce their engagement, after four children some of the extended family found it rather unnecessary, but the Turner de Vere's were all overjoyed and looking forward to the wedding, which knowing their son and daughter-in-law might take a few years to happen.

The year of weddings and grandchildren, that's what this year can be called according to Elliot and Laure. After six year long engagement and four kids, Sasha and Stéphanie finally got married in June. It was just a family affair at Brussels city hall as Stéphanie was at that time eight months pregnant with their fifth child. Ottilie Charlotte Turner de Vere arrived safe and sound on July 27th with a set of healthy lungs and head full of red hair and daddy's grey eyes. Especially Violette is overjoyed to finally have a sister in the house.
Leni and Tim got married at the family mansion in August with 150 of their friends and family around. Just before they left for Europe, Leni found out that she's been promoted after only one year at her job, apparently she is the record holder. That was one of the reasons why she and Tim decided to wait with kids for a few more years.
The wedding of the year according to the Belgian noble circles was the one between Guillaume de Vere and Victoire du Pouguet in January. As Guillaume is the heir to the de Vere family it came as no surprise that over 600 guests attended the grand occasion at de Vere family castle. After the wedding the newlyweds moved into the family castle together with Guillaume's elderly grandparents and on 11th November Victoire gave birth to their first son and his father's heir there. Antoine Guillaume de Vere was born with head full brown hair and blue eyes and received the names of his late grandfather and his father.
Ani sustained her second ACL tear crushing her Olympic dream just weeks prior to the start of the games. She subsequently decided to end her career as a sportsman and start her coaching career.
When it comes to Merry it looks that he will follow in Leni's footsteps. He is currently studying medicine at University of Leuven, but everything points in the direction that he'll be accepted to Yale next autumn.
Gus made it to the B team of Anderlecht Brussels, but heard already from several sources that the coach of A team has an eye on him. This prompted him to work even harder in a hope of making the main team and maybe one day in a not so far future he might join the Belgian national football team.
Adrien and Netty are in their last year of high-school but both are already fully committed to their sporting careers. Adrien is a long distance swimmer and is preparing currently for the World Junior Championships where he is one of the favorites on the 10 km track. Netty is so far the most successful junior figure skater Belgium ever had. After winning her Junior Grand Prix assignments in Colorado Springs and Ljubljana, she finished second in the final in Barcelona with two falls in long program. Now she has her eyes and heart set on the Junior World Championships where she wants to fight for the gold medal.
Elisabeth still enjoys reading and over the years became Elliot's main critique. She also leads the reading club at local library.
Claudine made it from finger painting three year old to a quite good painter. Her first exhibition is planned for next spring and she couldn't be more happier.

Elliot and Laure always talked about a big Euro trip, but with Laure's demanding job that tied her down to one place they were never able to make it. This year over the summer holidays they packed their mini van, took their five children and two dogs and traveled all over the Europe for two glorious months. Now full of memories they returned back to reality of chasing after three toddlers, driving Sasha to and from his piano, violin and newly also cello lessons and "suffering" through Leni's scientific researches.

A few months before Merry and Gus turned two, Elliot and Laure started talking about another baby that would complete their family. As neither of them was getting any younger, they started trying a few months later and were overjoyed when they conceived already after the first month they tried. Just weeks later they found out, there was another set of twins on the way, this time fraternal. The idea of seven children was enough for Laure to propose the big V to Elliot and surprisingly he had no objections. Their last two children, Adrien Lancelote & Antoinette Florence Turner de Vere arrived on 23rd December just in time to be the best Christmas present the family ever received. Adrien with his red hair and grey eyes was a bit smaller than his twin sister who is lovingly called Netty and has a head full of blondish curls and grey eyes. Their personalities are yet to be determined as for now all they need is their mommy, lots of cuddles and a clean diaper.

Time flies and Elliot and Laure have officially a teenager in the house, scary in theory. So far Sasha is making it very easy on them as he is mostly submerged in his world of music and compositions. Leni has just started fifth grade and not surprisingly math, biology and chemistry are her favorite subjects by far. Recently they've also signed Ani into gymnastics in a hope that she'll burn some of the excesive energy she has in there. She and also Merry and Gus are attending pre-school two times a week and enjoy time with their new found friends. Adrien and Netty are already a year old and they are both very active babies. Laure is rather sure that in addition to Ani and Gus they have another set of future athletes on their hands. Not everything was good this year thought as the family two dogs passed away in a span of a week of old age. The kids took it very hard and begged the parents for a new dog. The family visited a local animal shelter and agreed on a one year old golden retriever which they named Jazz, a name chosen by Sasha.

The whole family traveled to Brussels on the last day of the year to meet the new additions, Matthieu looks just like his momy, while Cyprien is the mix of his parents. It was also the perfect time for Sasha and Stéphanie to announce their engagement, after four children some of the extended family found it rather unnecessary, but the Turner de Vere's were all overjoyed and looking forward to the wedding, which knowing their son and daughter-in-law might take a few years to happen.

The year of weddings and grandchildren, that's what this year can be called according to Elliot and Laure. After six year long engagement and four kids, Sasha and Stéphanie finally got married in June. It was just a family affair at Brussels city hall as Stéphanie was at that time eight months pregnant with their fifth child. Ottilie Charlotte Turner de Vere arrived safe and sound on July 27th with a set of healthy lungs and head full of red hair and daddy's grey eyes. Especially Violette is overjoyed to finally have a sister in the house.
Leni and Tim got married at the family mansion in August with 150 of their friends and family around. Just before they left for Europe, Leni found out that she's been promoted after only one year at her job, apparently she is the record holder. That was one of the reasons why she and Tim decided to wait with kids for a few more years.
The wedding of the year according to the Belgian noble circles was the one between Guillaume de Vere and Victoire du Pouguet in January. As Guillaume is the heir to the de Vere family it came as no surprise that over 600 guests attended the grand occasion at de Vere family castle. After the wedding the newlyweds moved into the family castle together with Guillaume's elderly grandparents and on 11th November Victoire gave birth to their first son and his father's heir there. Antoine Guillaume de Vere was born with head full brown hair and blue eyes and received the names of his late grandfather and his father.
Ani sustained her second ACL tear crushing her Olympic dream just weeks prior to the start of the games. She subsequently decided to end her career as a sportsman and start her coaching career.
When it comes to Merry it looks that he will follow in Leni's footsteps. He is currently studying medicine at University of Leuven, but everything points in the direction that he'll be accepted to Yale next autumn.
Gus made it to the B team of Anderlecht Brussels, but heard already from several sources that the coach of A team has an eye on him. This prompted him to work even harder in a hope of making the main team and maybe one day in a not so far future he might join the Belgian national football team.
Adrien and Netty are in their last year of high-school but both are already fully committed to their sporting careers. Adrien is a long distance swimmer and is preparing currently for the World Junior Championships where he is one of the favorites on the 10 km track. Netty is so far the most successful junior figure skater Belgium ever had. After winning her Junior Grand Prix assignments in Colorado Springs and Ljubljana, she finished second in the final in Barcelona with two falls in long program. Now she has her eyes and heart set on the Junior World Championships where she wants to fight for the gold medal.
Elisabeth still enjoys reading and over the years became Elliot's main critique. She also leads the reading club at local library.
Claudine made it from finger painting three year old to a quite good painter. Her first exhibition is planned for next spring and she couldn't be more happier.
