DH:
DW:Roll a ten- or twelve-sided die for number of children (you choose which maximum you'd like). Then roll for genders (odd = boy, even = girl). Then roll an eight-sided die to see if they survive to adulthood. If it lands on a 1 or 7, then they sadly do not survive to adulthood.There are outbreaks of tuberculosis and influenza. To see if each family member survives, roll a four-sided die. If it lands on a 3, then they die from one of those diseases.

When the school breaks for the summer, Alexandra graduates, and returns home with her younger brother and sister. Soon after they return, Alexandra marries a young man named Charles, so her siblings can be provided for. She just had her first baby, a son named Leopold, known to most as Leo.
