It’s been ten years since we last met; Felix and Jess have celebrated twenty years of marriage, and Annabelle has left the nest. There are also two more boys in the family—Calum is seven and Bennett is six. Bennett was decidedly Jess’s last pregnancy, so soon after his birth, she had her tubes tied.
Annabelle is in college, going to Virginia State for a career as a radio DJ. She really enjoys her time there, but she also loves to come home and spend time with family.
Violet and Jasper are in high school, and Jasper happens to be in Felix’s math class. Some of his friends tease him about being the teacher’s son, but Jasper doesn’t let it get to him. As for Violet, she wants to be an art teacher, and she’s already submitted her application to Virginia State.

Dominic and Taylor were happy with their 6 children, and they started to have some more time to themselves as the kids got older. All the kids were in school, life was happy and easy - well, as easy as it can be with six children in the house. So it came as a huge surprise when it was discovered that Taylor was already 13 weeks pregnant, at the age of 40! She gave birth to the couples seventh - and last - child just after her next birthday. They decided to name him Julian. Louisa and Matilda are thrilled to have a baby brother, but the other kids aren't as happy about the fairly new arrival.

Six kids was quite enough for Fabian and Eleanor! They happily celebrated their twentieth anniversary together, going on a three day cruise, leaving the kids with Eleanor's parents. They really enjoyed the break from their kids, who were both adorable (they still considered even John to be their little baby!) and tiring. Both John and Will have flowen the nest - John to study journalism at St Andrews University, and Will to a prestigious performing arts boarding school, after his talent on the violin was recognised. Josie's a total tomboy, and is playing (field) hockey at a regional level - she's one of her teams' stars, tipped perhaps for a national level career. She's been a little lonely since John and Will left, the three of them, Josie and Will especially, were thick as thieves. However, she recently worked up the nerve to ask out her team-mate and long-term crush, Coraline! Bea's discovered that she's an excellent singer, and has joined her school choir - she aspires to join Will at his performing arts school. Meanwhile, Ivan and Gil are absolute troublemakers; the Fred and George of the Fairchild family! One is rarely seen without the ofher, and only their family and closest friends can even tell them apart. However, while they're both chatterboxes and pranksters, they're alao both quite intelligent. Ivan's an avid reader, and Gil has an affinity for taking things apart and putting them back together.

Bennett and Kaia are celebrating their 20th anniversary, time flies by when you're having fun. The twins were their last children, Bennett took care of it shortly after they were born.
The family still lives in the same house at Toluca Lake. Liam was the first one to leave home, he was accepted on sport scholarship to Stanford University. He is now in his freshman year and is taking various courses, still trying to decide on his major.
Xander is junior at high school. He gave up swimming about five years ago and instead found his passion in painting. Most of the time you can find him with a sketchbook and pencil in his hand and according to his art teacher he is very talented. Kaia and Bennett are fully supporting his talent.
Posey used to be this outgoing girly girl who loved ballet and gymnastics as a child, now as a teen she had completely changed. She has turned into a bookworm and became really shy. There was a point were Kaia and Bennett were really worried about her, but she is just one of those people, she loves her alone time, her books, history and also writes for high school newspaper. Writing generally helps her to get out of her shell and she hopes to become a journalist one day.
Lula is the complete opposite of her sister. While they both do not lack determination, she is very outgoing and competitive on top of it. She started taking gymnastic classes after seeing Posey. Now at twelve years old she is already doing elite and is determined to qualify for the junior national team.
Delia & Anya, the babies of the family could not be more different. Delia is the tomboy of the family and had always been. She was the one with skinned knees and always in trouble. She loves ice hockey and plays in a local team, the only girl among all the boys. Anya on the other hand had always been the calm one. She is a sweet girl and loves helping her parents and siblings. She plays violin and dreams of a career of musician. Although they are different in nature, they get along very well and you only rarely see one of them without another.

Welcome back to the Lovejoys! It's been a looong ten years and the babies have all grown up!

Let's take it from the top: Stefan is still working with police dogs and loving every second of it (he's the site manager now and trains senior leaders at other facilities). Anya's books have taken off (finally) she has written a trilogy and two single books that have been published and are bringing in a lovely income.
Octavia started university last year, she's moved out to live with friends and is doing a degree around social care. Her bond with younger brother, Parker, has inspired her to pursue work with children on the Autistic Spectrum. She's definitely come out of her shell at university and has even joined the running team to meet new people - at the moment she's currently training for a half marathon to raise money for the National Autistic Society.
Eve is getting ready for her GCSEs. If she does as well as she's expected too she's got a place at a music college a few towns over to pursue her passion in music. In the past ten years Eve has mastered the piano and keyboard, she started guitar six years ago and drums three years ago (Octavia was glad to move out of their shared attic space!) Eve has also been having singing lessons for as long as she can remember.
Parker has progressed two-fold from the little bundle of uncontrollable energy that he was. He found secondary school a struggle for the while as the 1:2:1 support he'd received in primary school suddenly disappeared and for a while he regressed. But he had an absolutely fantastic D&T teacher who saw potential in him and went out of his way to work with Parker at break and lunchtimes to prevent him from being expelled. Parker has since got involved in lots of extracurricular clubs from chess and spelling bee to rugby and woodwork - these have developed his social skills and keeps him mentally stimulated. Parker doesn't know what his future holds him, he is extremely mathematically bright but struggles to find sufficient challenge there whereas the practicality of woodwork and metalwork - pulling things apart and creating from scratch - appeals to him much more.

DD[12]: Daisy September Smith
DS[10]: Ollie Thomas Smith
DDog[dec]: Coco

A few years ago, Coco died. This upset Ollie most because he had become very close with the dog. With no more children or animals in the house, life has become a bit simpler for Henry and Alice.

Now 19, Lily has headed of to university, where she is studying art. She is then planning on taking a teacher training course as she wants to be an art teacher. Her hobby, of course, is painting.

Rose, who has always been keen on writing, is taking a different path from all of her family. Back when she was 11, she received a scholarship to the best school in Great Britain. Although it was a boarding school, she accepted. But now in sixth form, she is on a scholarship to a local sixth form. A very clever girl, that Rose.

Jack, who is now 15, has developed an interest in sports, especially basketball. He is a delight to watch, as of course he always wins. If something is todo with sport, he just has to do it. When Ollie was little, Jack would turn of Ollie's favourite program to watch a football match. Jack is the reason the family have Sky Sports!

Now, Daisy started life badly but she decided to overcome that by following after her big sister, Lily. She loves painting pictures and as she never becomes bored in an art class at school. Like her other sister, Rose, she does keep a diary. She is a mix of the two, and delightful to have around.

Ollie, well Ollie is Ollie, really. He does love animals, but Alice thinks that was triggered by Coco's death. She thinks he will come out of his shell more in later life. This has confused Henry though, as all of his other children where already out, and Lily has been at the mere age of three. Henry told Alice to take him for a checkup, and she agreed, but Ollie hid under his bed all day, so it could not happen. But that made Henry even more curious about his little boy. But he does love animals, at least there is a fact.

DDog [deceased at 15] Bee
DDog [3] Arya

It’s been ten long years. Pascal is doing well, and has managed to save enough money to put Di through college. With her forceful, loud personality and love of sports, it only makes sense that Di would want to become an athlete. She got a sports scholarship to the school of her choice, and is studying education along with it. She has not dated in a while, though she had a girlfriend in high school. Sam is doing very well in school, she is considering a teaching or writing career. However, she has plenty of time to decide. She’s decided that dating is not something she’s interested in. She leads a book club at her high school. Elian is also doing well. He plays baseball on the high school team, and is very carefee. Vera and Iwan, both still in middle school, are good students, though Iwan can be a bit of a handful sometimes. He struggles with ADHD, and thus is interest in musical theater and dance is welcome, as it gets him moving. Vera is very much a mini scientist. The family dog, Bee, died a few years ago. Since then, Elian has brought home a beagle he calls Arya.

DD: Rebekah Faith Lennox "Bekah" (15)
DS: Benjamin John Lennox "Benji" (12)
DD: Mary Joy Lennox (10)

Lizard: Morris
Dog: Delilah (poodle)

Jon and Katie celebrated their twentieth wedding anniversary with a cruise to Alaska! They loved it (and enjoyed getting away without kids tagging along for the first time in twenty years). They left the kids at Jon's parents house, so the kids felt like they got a vacation too! Eli, now 19, is in his sophomore year of college. He is studying mechanical engineering, but is thinking about switching his field to forensic science (after taking an elective class that he absolutely loved). Isaiah is a junior in high school. He is very interested in archaeology and hopes to find a job in that field someday. He is begging Jon and Katie to let him travel to and work on a dig site in Panama this summer. Bekah, 15, is a sophomore in high school. She likes theater and dance and spends most of her time rehearsing for a play, a dance recital, or a musical. Benji, 12, is in sixth grade. He has a love of slugs, bugs, and creepy crawly things. He hasn't yet convinced Katie to let him keep a spider as a pet, but she did consent to a lizard with the stipulation that it always stay in the cage. Benji is in love with his new striped gecko, Morris. Mary, 10, is in fifth grade. She is very bright and loves anything to do with school. She wants to be a teacher someday...or maybe a veterinarian...or maybe an author. She isn't really sure. She is the primary caregiver for the family's standard poodle, Delilah.
