Location: southeastern Turkey
DH: John Owen Brookland (straight brown hair, brown eyes)(surgeon)(31)
DW: Victoria Roselyn (Hammond) Brookland "Tori" (curly black hair, blue eyes)(homemaker)(28)
John and Tori met during John's final year in medical school. They dated throughout his residency and fellowship, getting married last summer after he completed his training. John found a job with Doctors without Borders and is currently working in southern Turkey. Tori, though she has a degree in early childhood education, is not working, though she spends a lot of time helping the refugees there.
Year 1: child; boy
Location: southeastern Turkey
DH: John Owen Brookland (straight brown hair, brown eyes)(surgeon)(32)
DW: Victoria Roselyn (Hammond) Brookland "Tori" (curly black hair, blue eyes)(homemaker)(29)
DS: Micah Ryan Brookland (red hair, hazel eyes)(music)(0)
John and Tori were surprised to learn that Tori was expecting a baby just six months after their wedding. They had just completed their move to Turkey and Tori figured that the stress was affecting her--by the time she went to be checked out by a doctor, she was almost five months pregnant. After much consideration, Tori decided to stay in Turkey with John and have the baby there. Their son, Micah, was born a few months later without complications.
Year 2: Job, laid off
Location: United States
DH: John Owen Brookland (straight brown hair, brown eyes)(surgeon)(33)
DW: Victoria Roselyn (Hammond) Brookland "Tori" (curly black hair, blue eyes)(homemaker)(30)
DS: Micah Ryan Brookland (red hair, hazel eyes)(music)(1)
This year, John lost his job with Doctors without Borders when the clinic he worked in was closed due to local unrest. He decided not to extend his contract with them and return to the United States with his young family. The Brooklands moved to a large city in Virginia, and both Tori and Micah are enjoying all the local scenery there. John is still searching for a job, but has several job interviews scheduled for the upcoming weeks.
Year 3: Pet; dog
Location: United States
DH: John Owen Brookland (straight brown hair, brown eyes)(surgeon)(34)
DW: Victoria Roselyn (Hammond) Brookland "Tori" (curly black hair, blue eyes)(homemaker)(31)
DS: Micah Ryan Brookland (red hair, hazel eyes)(music)(2)
Dog: Skipper (male Bloodhound)(2)
John found work as a general surgeon in a small community hospital, which he loves. Tori stays home to take care of Micah--and the newest member of the family--a large bloodhound they named Skipper. Micah has taken to the dog immediately, and the dog seems to like him too. Micah's hair is beginning to darken to an auburn color--the striking red he was born with is slowly disappearing.
Year 4: random event; free choice
Location: United States
DH: John Owen Brookland (straight brown hair, brown eyes)(surgeon)(35)
DW: Victoria Roselyn (Hammond) Brookland "Tori" (curly black hair, blue eyes)(homemaker)(32)
DS: Micah Ryan Brookland (auburn hair, hazel eyes)(music)(3)
DS: Elijah James Brookland "Eli" (red hair, hazel eyes)(animals)(0)
Dog: Skipper (male Bloodhound)(3)
This year, John and Tori welcome a second son, Eli, who was born with the same shock of red hair his older brother had (though Micah's hair is now fully auburn). Micah is fascinated by his brother. Micah is also enjoying music--especially since John got him a small music kit with plastic instruments.
Year 5: family event; someone moves in
Location: United States
DH: John Owen Brookland (straight brown hair, brown eyes)(surgeon)(36)
DW: Victoria Roselyn (Hammond) Brookland "Tori" (curly black hair, blue eyes)(homemaker)(33)

DS: Micah Ryan Brookland (auburn hair, hazel eyes)(music)(4)
DS: Elijah James Brookland "Eli" (red hair, hazel eyes)(animals)(1)
Dog: Skipper (male Bloodhound)(4)
This year, Tori's grandmother moved in with them--she is suffering from dementia and needs supervision with daily tasks and activities. She seems to be enjoying playing with her grandsons and the dog.
Year 6: child; twins; fraternal boy/girl
Location: United States
DH: John Owen Brookland (straight brown hair, brown eyes)(surgeon)(37)
DW: Victoria Roselyn (Hammond) Brookland "Tori" (curly black hair, blue eyes)(homemaker)(34)

DS/DD: Adam Vincent Brookland (wavy dark brown hair, hazel eyes)(animals) and Erin Sophia Brookland (straight black hair, blue eyes)(writing)(0)
Dog: Skipper (male Bloodhound)(5)
This year, the Brookland's lives took a hectic turn--Tori gave birth to twins! Adam and Erin were born just two weeks after Eli's second birthday, and threw the household into chaos. Betsy, who is getting more forgetful, became very anxious about everything once Tori went to the hospital. Micah, who had just started Kindergarten, became distraught by all the changes and has had some behavioral problems recently. Eli began crying more frequently and has been very clingy. John and Tori, a bit overwhelmed, enlisted the help of friends and family to help them care for the new babies (and the other children...and Betsy), so the house has been a little crazy. Skipper, the dog, seems to enjoy all the activity and has adopted the new babies as his special protectees.
Year 7: child; girl

DD: Chloe Faith Brookland (straight dark brown hair, hazel eyes)(history)(0)
Dog: Skipper (male Bloodhound)(6)
When the twins were three months old, Tori found out she was expecting another baby. Three months later, Betsy had a stroke and passed away. Two months after that, Micah started first grade. As part of his schooling, John and Tori signed him up for piano lessons. Micah is absoluately loving them! Eli is spending a lot of his time playing with Skipper and teaching him new tricks. He has started begging Tori to get Skipper a puppy to play with. Adam and Erin are developing normally, running around the house after their older brothers. Baby Chloe is already well loved by her older brothers.

Dog: Skipper (male Bloodhound)(7)
Just when they were settling into a routine, Tori discovered she was pregnant again. At her first appointment, they found out she was having twins again! Miles and Danny were born when Chloe was twenty months old and the elder twins almost three. Now, with five children in the last four years, John and Tori are stretched to the limit. They are also running out of space--John and Tori hoped that they would be able to stay in their four bedroom house for a long while yet; however, they are limited on space--besides the master bedroom, Micah and Eli share a room, Adam, Erin, and Chloe share a room, and the twins now share the nursery.
