Location: England
DH: Henry Baldwin Harcourt (wavy golden blond hair, blue-green eyes)(lumberjack)(18)
DW: Emelyn Grace (Key) Harcourt (curly brown hair, dark blue eyes)(cook)(18)
Henry and Emelyn were wed in a traditional ceremony in the little hamlet they both grew up in. Henry joined his father as a lumberjack, working to clear land and produce lumber for building in London. Emelyn is currently occupied as a cook at one of the local taverns. Henry doesn't approve of her employment, but can't do much to stop her when he is away for long stretches in the forest.
Year 1:
Location: England
DH: Henry Baldwin Harcourt (wavy golden blond hair, blue-green eyes)(lumberjack)(19)
DW: Emelyn Grace (Key) Harcourt (curly brown hair, dark blue eyes)(19)
DD: Eden Rose Harcourt (straight strawberry blond hair, dark blue eyes)(0)
Scarcely two months after their wedding, Emelyn was pregnant! Their daughter, Eden Rose Harcourt, was born before their first wedding anniversary. With her pregnancy, Emelyn quit work as a cook and stays at home tending to domestic chores (which have increased exponentially with Eden's arrival).
Year 2:
Location: England
DH: Henry Baldwin Harcourt (wavy golden blond hair, blue-green eyes)(lumberjack)(20)
DW: Emelyn Grace (Key) Harcourt (curly brown hair, dark blue eyes)(20)
DD: Eden Rose Harcourt (straight strawberry blond hair, dark blue eyes)(1)
Horses: Lady and Copper (8)
Henry brought an extravagant gift home to Emelyn this year: a pair of horses! The mare and the stallion are a lovely chestnut pair and even came broke to drive! Emelyn loves taking Eden out in the carriage and the freedom it gives them. Henry, while proud of Emelyn's independent streak, isn't so sure he wants he out and about without his protection.
Year 3:
Location: England
DH: Henry Baldwin Harcourt (wavy golden blond hair, blue-green eyes)(lumberjack)(21)
DW: Emelyn Grace (Key) Harcourt (curly brown hair, dark blue eyes)(21)
DD: Eden Rose Harcourt (straight strawberry blond hair, dark blue eyes)(2)
Horses: Lady and Copper (9)
Over the winter, Eden developed a nasty cough and fever. She was weak and lethargic for several weeks, and both Henry and Emelyn were worried about her recovery. Eventually, she began to heal, though she wasn't her regular spunky self until late in the spring. Emelyn is dreading the coming winter and prays that Eden will stay healthy this year.
Year 4:
Location: England
DH: Henry Baldwin Harcourt (wavy golden blond hair, blue-green eyes)(lumberjack)(22)
DW: Emelyn Grace (Key) Harcourt (curly brown hair, dark blue eyes)(22)
ADS/ADD: Robert Isaac Catesby Harcourt (straight golden blond hair, hazel eyes)(troublemaker) "Bobby" and Alys Susanna Catesby Harcourt (curly light brown hair, green eyes)(playing in the garden)(6)
DD: Eden Rose Harcourt (straight strawberry blond hair, dark blue eyes)(3)
Horses: Lady and Copper (10)
Eden stayed healthy this year...though the rest of the local population didn't. A severe sickness spread through the area in the early fall, claiming many lives--sometimes even entire families. Henry's logging camp was quarantined for weeks, and Emelyn and Eden remained shut up indoors, avoiding contact with nearly everyone. Henry survived his illness and returned, very relieved that both Emelyn and Eden were never sick. A neighboring family, the Catesby's all passed away during the outbreak, except for six year old Bobby and his twin sister, Alys. Both children were ill, but recovered. They did their best bouncing from place to place for a few months before Henry convinced Emelyn that the children weren't a health threat and offered to take them in. Eden is enthralled with her new playmates/siblings, while Bobby and Alys are happy to have a consistent roof over their heads and good food to eat again.
Year 5:
Location: England
DH: Henry Baldwin Harcourt (wavy golden blond hair, blue-green eyes)(lumberjack)(23)
DW: Emelyn Grace (Key) Harcourt (curly brown hair, dark blue eyes)(23)
ADS/ADD: Robert Isaac Catesby Harcourt (straight golden blond hair, hazel eyes)(troublemaker) "Bobby" and Alys Susanna Catesby Harcourt (curly light brown hair, green eyes)(playing in the garden)(7)
DD: Eden Rose Harcourt (straight strawberry blond hair, dark blue eyes)(4)
Horses: Lady and Copper (11)
Bobby, ever the troublemaker, got in trouble with the constables this year. He and his friends were making mischief and accidentally set a local barn on fire! The barn was a total loss and, fortunately, no one was killed (human or animal). Bobby has been working hard to pay off his debt (as have his friends), and he has been rather subdued lately--Emelyn is hoping the barn incident curbed his mischievious instincts just a little.
Year 6:

DH: Henry Baldwin Harcourt (wavy golden blond hair, blue-green eyes)(lumberjack)(24)
DW: Emelyn Grace (Key) Harcourt (curly brown hair, dark blue eyes)(24)

Horses: Lady and Copper (12)
The local people were concerned this year when a popular traveling mystic proclaimed death and disease would strike their area this year. Henry, ever skeptical of these things, continued business as usual; however, Emelyn took the omen to heart and kept the children indoors and away from other families as much as possible. After the recent outbreak of disease a few years ago, most of the other townspeople did the same. The year has passed without incident, and Henry is still trying to convince Emelyn that the mystic was just telling stories.
Year 7:
Location: England
DH: Henry Baldwin Harcourt (wavy golden blond hair, blue-green eyes)(lumberjack)(25)
DW: Emelyn Grace (Key) Harcourt (curly brown hair, dark blue eyes)(25)
ADS/ADD: Robert Isaac Catesby Harcourt (straight golden blond hair, hazel eyes)(troublemaker) "Bobby" and Alys Susanna Catesby Harcourt (curly light brown hair, green eyes)(playing in the garden)(9)
DD: Eden Rose Harcourt (straight strawberry blond hair, dark blue eyes)(reading)(6)
Horses: Lady and Copper (13)
When death and disease did not appear after a year, the people decided that, perhaps, the mystic was wrong after all. They began planning a huge celebration! Just after harvest, the area held the biggest festival Henry and Emelyn had ever seen! The kids loved it, and people came from as far away as thirty miles!
Year 8:
Location: England
DH: Henry Baldwin Harcourt (wavy golden blond hair, blue-green eyes)(lumberjack)(26)
DW: Emelyn Grace (Key) Harcourt (curly brown hair, dark blue eyes)(26)
ADS/ADD: Robert Isaac Catesby Harcourt (straight golden blond hair, hazel eyes)(troublemaker) "Bobby" and Alys Susanna Catesby Harcourt (curly light brown hair, green eyes)(playing in the garden)(10)
DD: Eden Rose Harcourt (straight strawberry blond hair, dark blue eyes)(reading)(7)
Horses: Lady and Copper (14)
Emelyn has now decided that the mystic was right...at least about the death part. After torrential rains flooded out three quarters of the town, she and Henry lost everything. Fortunately, they were able to get everyone to safety--partially by riding Lady and Copper through the rising floodwaters. When the waters receded two days later, the people found several bodies of those who weren't able to escape in time. The attitude locally has been very subdued, as the people are still reeling from the disaster.
Year 9:

DD: Eden Rose Harcourt (straight strawberry blond hair, dark blue eyes)(reading)(8)
Horses: Lady and Copper (15)
This year, at the town's yearly festival, the Harcourt family won big!
Henry competed in the logsplitting competition, like every year...and won, like every year.
Emelyn's blackberry pie won first place in the pie baking contest, beating out her major rival, Mrs. Huffleman.
Bobby won the boys footrace...which Emelyn totally expected, given the speed with which he disappears when he gets into trouble.
Alys won first prize in the girls sewing contest for her intricate sampler.
Eden also won first prize...in the spelling bee! She beat out boys and girls almost twice her age, much to everyone's surprise. Emelyn credits her large vocabulary to her extensive reading habits--Eden actually reads better than anyone in the family, and Henry takes her along when he needs to read and sign contracts for work.

The traveling mystic has returned...and this time even Henry is listening. Fortunately for the local people, the mystic predicts a great fortune and happy times for the town!
