Years 1-27
in reply to a message by Parthenia
Year 0 - Bremen, Germany
DW [25]: Raffaela Margareta (Arbeit) Laukkanen [brown eyes, curly brown hair, mechanic]
DH [26]: Rasmus Nestori Laukkanen [hazel eyes, straight black hair, chemist]
Raffaela and Rasmus met during their first year of university, and recently got married. Rasmus comes from Finland, but moved to Germany with his family when he was 14 - Raffaela was raised in Berlin.
Year 1 - Bremen, Germany
Raffaela's grandmother passes away, and she inherits several thousand euros - she puts it away in the savings account she and Rasmus have set up for their future children.
Year 2 - Bremen, Germany

DH [28]: Rasmus Nestori Laukkanen [hazel eyes, straight black hair, chemist]
DS [0]: Elias Christoph Laukkanen [hazel eyes, curly black hair]
It's just as well they started putting money aside - Raffaela and Rasmus welcome a son, Elias, who looks a lot like his father.
Year 3 - Bremen, Germany
Following the birth of Elias, Rasmus decides to take on a job which requires fewer hours, and so becomes a chemistry teacher at a local high school.
Year 4 - Bremen, Germany
Not long after Elias was born, Raffaela was put on some pretty strong pain medication. She's realised that she has now become quite dependent on the medication, and with Rasmus' help is going to attempt to start to come off them.
Year 5 - Bremen, Germany
A fire breaks out in the Laukkanen's flat - thankfully, no one is hurt, but everyone is very shaken.
Year 6 - Bremen, Germany

DH [32]: Rasmus Nestori Laukkanen [hazel eyes, straight black hair, chemist]
DS [4]: Elias Christoph Laukkanen [hazel eyes, curly black hair]
DS [0]: Sebastian Simo Laukkanen [brown eyes, straight black hair]
Raffaela and Rasmus welcome a second son, Sebastian. Elias is thrilled to finally have a playmate!
Year 7 - Bremen, Germany
Raffaela's hours are changed, and it means she can spend more time in the evenings with Elias and Sebastian.
Year 8 - Bremen, Germany
DW [33]: Raffaela Margareta (Arbeit) Laukkanen [brown eyes, curly brown hair, mechanic]
DH [34]: Rasmus Nestori Laukkanen [hazel eyes, straight black hair, chemist]
DS [6]: Elias Christoph Laukkanen [hazel eyes, curly black hair]
DS [2]: Sebastian Simo Laukkanen [brown eyes, straight black hair]
DD [0]: Nora Minttu Laukkanen [brown eyes, curly black hair]
Elias and Sebastian are so excited when Raffaela tells them that they're going to have a little sister - Elias in particular dotes on Nora, when he's not at school.
Year 9 - Bremen, Germany

DH [35]: Rasmus Nestori Laukkanen [hazel eyes, straight black hair, chemist]
DS [7]: Elias Christoph Laukkanen [hazel eyes, curly black hair]

DS/DD/DD [0]: Oskar Hugo Laukkanen [brown eyes, curly black hair] & Cornelia Olivia Laukkanen [hazel eyes, curly brown hair] & Isabella Kirsikka Laukkanen [brown eyes, straight brown hair]
Oh, my! Raffaela and Rasmus decided they would try for one more child - they weren't counting on that one child actually being three! Space is rather tight now, but everyone has tried their best to keep a good sense of humour about the whole thing.
Year 10 - Bremen, Germany
Rasmus' mother passes away unexpectedly, and he takes some time off work to deal with the shock. He's just glad she was able to meet the triplets before her death.
Year 11 - Bremen, Germany
Elias has recently become rather moody. Intially, his parents put it down simply to him growing up, but soon they realise that there's a bigger problem. It turns out that he's been arguing with his friends at school, and it takes some parental intervention for the situation to clear up.
Year 12 - Bremen, Germany
Raffaela receives a promotion and is now head of her garage. Sebastian starts school.
Year 13 - Berlin, Germany
After 20 years in Bremen, Raffaela and her family move to Berlin, to care for her mother, whose health is failing. The change upsets Elias and Sebastian more than the younger children, but everyone's relieved to live somewhere with a bit more space.
Year 14 - Berlin, Germany
Rasmus finds a job not as a chemistry teacher, but rather as the head teacher of a high school in Berlin. Nora starts school.
Year 15 - Berlin, Germany
The triplets start school, and all three of them struggle with being split up. It gets easier with time, but they still miss each other a lot during lessons.
Year 16 - Berlin, Germany
Raffaela's mother passes away, and she inherits quite a large sum of money.
Year 17 - Berlin, Germany
The triplets attend a theatre workshop at their school - all three of them find they enjoy it a lot, and join their local theatre group.
Year 18 - Berlin, Germany
Raffaela decides it's time for a bit of a career change, and begins retraining as a civil engineer.
Year 19 - Berlin, Germany
DBf [17]: Elias Christoph Laukkanen [hazel eyes, curly black hair]
DGf [17]: Magdalena Marcella Schmidt "Lena" [grey eyes, wavy blonde hair]
Elias brings home his girlfriend, Lena - Raffaela and Rasmus think she's lovely, and approve wholeheartedly of the relationship. However, Sebastian, now 13, runs away for a few hours. Rasmus finds him at the bus station, and when he asks what Sebastian was thinking, he explains that he just wanted an adventure.
Year 20 - Berlin, Germany
DBf [18]: Elias Christoph Laukkanen [hazel eyes, curly black hair, education student]
DGf [18]: Magdalena Marcella Schmidt "Lena" [grey eyes, wavy blonde hair, assistant librarian]
DD [0]: Viktoria Miina Augusta Laukkanen [grey eyes, wavy black hair]
Elias and Lena are more than a little shocked and scared when they realise Lena is pregnant. However, Raffaela and Rasmus are supportive, and agree to look after Viktoria whenever childcare isn't available so that they can continue to work and study.
Year 21 - Berlin, Germany
Cornelia and Oskar attempt to bake a cake for Viktoria's first birthday - unfortunately, this ends in a minor kitchen fire in which no one is hurt.
Year 22 - Berlin, Germany
Rasmus decides that he can't take teaching high school students anymore, and takes up a position at a university.
Year 23 - Berlin, Germany
Elias is hurt to find out that before Viktoria was born, when they were teenagers, Lena had a brief relationship with a friend while also dating him. However, Lena seems genuinely regretful and it was a long time ago, and so they stay together.
DBf [17]: Sebastian Simo Laukkanen [brown eyes, straight black hair]
DBf [17]: Yousef El-Amin [brown eyes, curly black hair]
Sebastian introduces his family to his boyfriend, Yousef - he's almost exactly the same age as Elias was when he brought Lena home. Yousef gets on very well with everyone, and is happy to play with 3-year-old Viktoria. He doesn't even mind the teasing he gets from Nora and the triplets.
Year 24 - Berlin, Germany / Munich, Germany
Now that Elias and Sebastian have both left home, everything feels a little bit too quiet, and so the Laukkanens get a kitten, Juno.
DBf [22]: Elias Christoph Laukkanen [hazel eyes, curly black hair, primary school teacher]
DGf [22]: Magdalena Marcella Schmidt "Lena" [grey eyes, wavy blonde hair, assistant librarian]
DD [4]: Viktoria Miina Augusta Laukkanen [grey eyes, wavy black hair]
DD [0]: Eva Maire Charlotte Laukkanen [hazel eyes, curly black hair]

Sebastian is now studying psychology in Munich, where Yousef is studying biology.
Year 25 - Berlin, Germany / Munich, Germany
Raffaela receives a pay rise!
Clearing out her family's attic, Lena finds a beautiful necklace, which turns out to be worth a lot of money.
