Elijah Connelly has always wanted to be a chef, and he worked hard to get a prestigious position as a chef at a high-end resort on St. Lucia. His wife, Jacqui, is a blogger with a large online following. Most of her work is on current events, but she also blogs about other topics, including life on a Carribean island. She and Elijah were married six months ago and moved to St. Lucia four months ago. They are still settling in, but are getting used to life there.

DW: Jacqueline Erna (Holm) Connelly "Jacqui" (blogger)(straight black hair, blue eyes)(29)
Cat: Lola (4)
This year, Jacqui attended a large blogging symposium in Dallas, Texas. She had a wonderful time and learned some new techniques and strategies for her work. Elijah was able to go with her, and the two of them had a relaxing time together. They left Lola with a neighbor.

DS: Andrew Henry Connelly "Drew" (straight red hair, blue eyes)(0)

Elijah and Jacqui welcomed a second son this year, quite unexpectedly! He has a shock of red hair (inherited from Elijah's side of the family), and he also inherited his mother's bright blue eyes. Zach, now fifteen months old, is running everywhere. He is one of those kids who isn't still for a moment.
Year 5: Career Event; go back to school
Location: Los Angeles, California
DH: Elijah Lindsay Connelly (chef)(curly black hair, green eyes)(34)
DW: Jacqueline Erna (Holm) Connelly "Jacqui" (blogger)(straight black hair, blue eyes)(32)
DS: Zachariah Julian Connelly "Zach" (curly black hair, blue eyes)(2)
DS: Andrew Henry Connelly "Drew" (straight red hair, blue eyes)(1)
Cat: Lola (7)*
This year, Elijah enrolled in a master's degree program to earn a degree in Business. He'd like to be able to run his own business someday, and figured a degree would help. The Connellys moved to Los Angeles, California while Elijah takes his classes. They had to leave Lola in St. Lucia, but had a neighbor who was willing to take her. Zach and Drew are growing quickly. Zach is still a bundle of energy and, now that Drew is mobile, the two of them cause all sorts of chaos at home. Jacqui continues to blog, but has reduced some of her hours so she can keep the boys occupied.
Year 6: Random Event; Host Exchange Student for a Year

Year 7: Family Event; Death in the family

DS: Zachariah Julian Connelly "Zach" (curly black hair, blue eyes)(4)**
DS: Andrew Henry Connelly "Drew" (straight red hair, blue eyes)(3)
Isabella returned to Spain in the summer, and was much missed by everyone, especially Zach and Drew. Four months ago, the Connelly family was devastated when Zach was diagnosed with childhood leukemia. It was a very agressive form of cancer, and Zach passed away within a month. The entire family was devastated by the loss, and they are still reeling from Zach's passing.
Year 8: Career Event; hours cut
Location: Los Angeles, California
DH: Elijah Lindsay Connelly (chef)(curly black hair, green eyes)(37)
DW: Jacqueline Erna (Holm) Connelly "Jacqui" (blogger)(straight black hair, blue eyes)(35)
DS: Zachariah Julian Connelly "Zach" (curly black hair, blue eyes)(4)**
DS: Andrew Henry Connelly "Drew" (straight red hair, blue eyes)(4)
Though Jacqui has been doing less blogging than previously, she has recently cut back even more so she can spend as much time with little Drew as possible. Zach's death is still affecting the family in a big way. Elijah and Jacqui spend as much time together with Drew as they possibly can.
Year 9: Child event; triplets (identical boys)
Location: Los Angeles, California
DH: Elijah Lindsay Connelly (chef)(curly black hair, green eyes)(38)
DW: Jacqueline Erna (Holm) Connelly "Jacqui" (blogger)(straight black hair, blue eyes)(36)
DS: Zachariah Julian Connelly "Zach" (curly black hair, blue eyes)(4)**
DS: Andrew Henry Connelly "Drew" (straight red hair, blue eyes)(5)
DS/DS/DS: Ryan William Connelly, Ian James Connelly, and Owen Harrison Connelly (identical: curly red hair, green eyes)(0)
Elijah and Jacqui found out they were expecting again this year. They were shocked to find out Jacqui was carrying triplets. Identical triplets Ryan, Ian, and Owen were born at 33 weeks, 2 days. After spending a brief stint in the NICU, all three boys were discharged home. Drew is reveling in having three little brothers to play with. He can still remember Zach and how much fun they had playing together. He still occasionally asks Jacqui if the new babies will die like Zach did and, really, Jacqui isn't sure how to answer. She and Elijah continue to spend as much time at home as they can and, since Elijah will be finished his degree in another year, they are looking forward to being able to spend a little more time together.
Year 10: Family Event: Move to New Place
Location: Los Angeles, California
DH: Elijah Lindsay Connelly (chef)(curly black hair, green eyes)(39)
DW: Jacqueline Erna (Holm) Connelly "Jacqui" (blogger)(straight black hair, blue eyes)(37)
DS: Zachariah Julian Connelly "Zach" (curly black hair, blue eyes)(4)**
DS: Andrew Henry Connelly "Drew" (straight red hair, blue eyes)(6)
DS/DS/DS: Ryan William Connelly, Ian James Connelly, and Owen Harrison Connelly (identical: curly red hair, green eyes)(1)
This year, Elijah finished his business degree and found a job in Virginia at a large restaurant. He was able to get a job that is part-time chef and part-time manager, so really, it is the best of both worlds for him! Drew started school this year and, though Jacqui is sad to spend less time with him, has been delighted to see him grow and make some new friends. Ryan, Ian, and Owen are a little whirlwind of activity at home, especially because they're all now either crawling or walking. Drew hasn't decided whether or not he likes this new development yet--it was a whole lot easier when they were in one place and he could bring toys to them.
