Owen and Laura met twelve years ago when Owen's family moved to Hungary from South Africa. Laura's family moved to Hungary when she was two. They originally lived in Romania, but hoped for a better life for Laura and her younger sister in Hungary. Owen and Laura spent their teen years in a friendly relationship and only started dating after finishing at the university. They dated for six months before Owen proposed, and they were married eight months after that. Owen has a degree in mechanical engineering and works for a large company in Miskolc. Laura works as an elementary school teacher. The two of them are renting a small flat in a large apartment complex in the city.

Owen and Laura were married for less than three months when they found out they were expecting a baby! Their daughter, Petra was born just shy of their first anniversary. While Owen and Laura weren't planning to start their family so soon, they are delighted by little Petra's arrival. They are looking for a new flat to rent with a little more room for the three of them.
Year 2: Job; new job in career field

This year, Owen got a new job in Budapest, working for a large firm. Owen loves the new work, and he and Laura were able to find a two bedroom flat in a decent neighborhood in the city. Laura is learning the new area quickly, and has already found an interim position at a local school. Petra, now a year old, is beginning to walk and is getting into more mischief than Owen and Laura thought possible.
Year 3: child event; multiples, twin girls

DD/DD: Rebeka Lucia Engelbrecht and Rozsa Katalinka Engelbrecht (identical: curly dark blond hair, green eyes)(0)
A few months after they moved to Budapest, Laura found out she was expecting their second child--and they soon learned it was twins! Identical girls Rebeka and Rozsa were born seven months later, both healthy and able to go home after a few days in the hospital. Petra, now two, is enamored with her baby sisters, but doesn't really understand why she can't play with them like she plays with her dolls.
Year 4: Career; fired/laid off/quits

DD/DD: Rebeka Lucia Engelbrecht and Rozsa Katalinka Engelbrecht (identical: curly dark blond hair, green eyes)(1)
This year, Laura quit her teaching job to stay home and care for the girls. It took some time to get used to living on one salary, but Owen and Laura are confident that they'll be okay. Petra is growing quickly and spends her time dancing and playing "fairy princess" and dressing up in fun clothes Laura bought from the thrift store. Rebeka and Rozsa are growing quickly too--their personalities are starting to emerge and they are starting to assert themselves.

Not much has changed in the Engelbrecht household this year--except that Owen was pulled over twice this year for speeding, resulting in some heavy fines.

Fish: Hajni (betta fish)
Fortunately, Owen was able to find a new job in Szolnok as an engineer, and the family moved there mid-year. Laura and the girls are settling in to their new house--the first house they've owned as a family. Petra started school in Szolnok and soon started asking Laura and Owen when they could get a pet like some of her classmates. Owen and Laura agreed to get a fish, figuring it would be an easy first pet. They took Petra to the pet store and she picked out Hajni, a pretty red betta fish. Rebeka and Rozsa started preschool this year, and are enjoying the time spent with their classmates too!
