Nicole’s Year Dice Game
Chose 2 12 sided dice. Roll to decide which type of life event will be happening each year. Then roll again to further narrow it down. If you have a baby, roll again to determine whether healthy or not. Keep going for each year through 20 years. :)

The Laurenz-Travert Family
FINAL FAMILY:
Emile & Therese = Ambre, Adria
Roman & Lydia = Franka, Tobias, Nicolas
- Adria & Tobias = Tobias / Micha / Adrian, Lydia, Valerie, Julian
YEAR 0
DW [24] Adria Travert
DH [25] Tobias Micha Laurenz
Meet our newlyweds! Adria, an anthropologist from Canada, and Tobias, a financial advisor from Germany met while they were in university when Adria went to study for a year in Germany. They kept in touch while finishing school, got engaged, and just got married. They currently live in Toronto, Canada.
YEAR 1
Adria and Tobias take a road trip to Niagara Falls!
YEAR 2
Tobias gets into a major argument with Adria’s sister, Ambre, because she kept pestering them about when they were going to start a family. Since the couple has been trying for over a year without success (they haven’t told their families this) he reached his breaking point this time and told her to leave them be. Things are a bit tense and Ambre’s not speaking to either of them at the moment (taking him literally). Adria hopes it will all blow over soon (and hopefully because they get pregnant), though she’s also a bit glad that Tobias told her to back off since Adria wanted her to, too.
YEAR 3
DW [27] Adria Travert
DH [28] Tobias Micha Laurenz
DS [nb] Tobias Emile Laurenz/ DS [nb] Micha Roman Laurenz/ DS [nb] Adrian Nicolas Laurenz
Our couple decided to begin fertility treatment and have had fraternal triplets! They now have three boys, whose first names are after their parents and middle names after their grandfathers and paternal uncle. They were born a bit early and, while the first two are quite healthy, the third, who was the smallest and most underdeveloped at birth, was found to have congenital heart disease. Adria and Tobias were very worried, but he got through his surgery and the doctors give him a good prognosis.
YEAR 4
Adria and Tobias, crazily, decide to take a 5-year anniversary cruise with all three boys (they couldn’t imagine leaving them). It’s a river cruise in Europe where they’ll be able to visit Tobias’ family in Germany during it.
