Tommy likes the sleek designs, Zenobia is happy with its size, but not its style. However, she gets along much better with the neighbours than Tommy, who prefers to keep to himself. Dorian has had to change school, and is having a hard time adjusting. Astrid, on the other hand, quickly befriends her neighbours' children.

Galaxy works as an event planner and truly enjoys her job. On the side, Galaxy illustrates for small comic books.Kendra and Galaxy met while on separate vacations in Hawaii. Galaxy told a hilarious joke, which captured Kendra's attention, and they've been attached at the hip ever since. Kendra and Galaxy currently share a studio apartment in NYC, pursuing their career and artistic dreams.After a year of dating, Kendra and Galaxy were both set on being childfree, but fate had other plans when Kendra met an abandoned newborn at work. Both women fell in love, became foster parents, and have now adopted sweet little Kyan Dominic Bailey.When Kyan was a year old, Kendra and Galaxy decided they wanted another baby, so they each began working even harder and focusing on getting promoted at work. Galaxy got a small promotion, but the new income was enough to pay for fertility treatments. Soon enough, Frankie Alyvia Bailey entered the world.After saving up for years, Kendra and Galaxy have bought their first home! It's a beautiful contemporary build with enough room for all three of their children! That's right, Kendra and Galaxy have just welcomed their third little one, Stefan Omar Bailey!

Harrison and Juno have welcomed another baby girl. They've named her Lela Isolde. They've also started living in a mini-bus that they often travel in when Juno has breaks from her job on the ambulance. They're loving the nomad life and all the experiences it's giving their daughters.Harrison [30] and Juno [31] with Nora [6], Shiloh [6], Willa [4], and Lela [nb], and their dog Toulouse [5]

DDove [5]- LieslRamsay and Nathan met at the birthday party of a mutual friend. They're first encounter was humorous, as they were both a little drunk and their fellow guests were... encouraging a... potential relationship, we shall say. Their relationship is exclusive, and both are serious about the relationship. They had talked about kids before Landin and Ash came along. Ramsay was ready to have kids and Nathan hadn't decided. He was very surprised when his girlfriend informed him of the twins. Needless to say, they are very excited about Landin and Ash! When the twins were one, they adopted a dove, who they named Liesl, from a rescue. Ramsay got pregnant the next year, and the couple realized they needed to start saving for a house, and fast! They moved in with Nathan's parents, who don't mind the bird or kids at all, to save on rent and bills. Luckily, Nathan's acting has paid off, as his acting skills have gotten him to a more professional stage, and made some money for the Rolfe-Goodalls! A year ago, they adopted a baby boy from Scandinavia, naming him Stefan while making his given name, Serbastian, his middle name. Ramsay then surprised her boyfriend with another daughter, Laila Carey. All their extra work to buy a home has paid off, because, a few months before Laila's delivery, Nathan and Ramsay buy a contemporary house a few miles from Mr. and Mrs. Goodall's place. They made sure it had a big yard for their five children, and a spacious dove cage for Liesl in the backyard. Landin, Ash, and Larissa are hoping for a dog now. Their neighbors are very friendly and the family has already made several friends.

Ramona and Harley met on vacation in Scotland. Their first encounter was embarrassing, Ramona tripped and fell, landing in a puddle. Harley saw, rushing over to help her up. They got engaged back in Scotland, 2 years after meeting. Ramone and Harley had twins, Zayne & Haven! Before having the babies, Ramona wasn't sure if she wanted babies, she went either way and was very indecisive. Now, she is overjoyed with her two bundles of joy! Harley on the other hand, didn't want kids at all. Though, when Zayne & Haven came along, it was the best moment of his life.Ramona and Harley have welcomed their 3rd little bundle of joy, Cyril! To add onto the craziness of the household, they adopted a bird! A Parrot named Lulu. With the family expanding, Ramona and Harley urgently needed to save up for a down payment on a home of their own. In order to save, they started selling items on Facebook Marketplace. On top of that, Harley has been starting to sell his comic book art at local festivals. After finally saving up their down payment, they suddenly welcomed a new baby boy, Evert. They became a family 7, since they adopted a girl, Amaris, two years ago as well. The Englands finally settled into their ranch-style home in a beautiful family friend neighborhood; complete with a nearby school and park.

DCat: ArtemisNatasha and Arran have saved up enough to move into a contemporary home. This is quite timely, as they've had a third child, daughter Ciara. She is given the same middle name as Natasha to honor her, as they feel this new baby will be their last child. Arran likes their new neighborhood, but Natasha has made some enemies among their neighbors. Combined with still feeling guilty over Finn's dubious parentage and post-partum depression, she is very unhappy.

DD [nb]: Feronia Annabel Yeardley-RolfedPet: Luxor (Reptile)R1. Val & Artemis met at work, where their first encounter was humorous (they bumped in to one another, literally), and, at the moment, it's complicated.
R2. While they hadn't actually decided on having kids, they agreed to try, at least, see which way it went. But now that Can is here, they're actually over the moon with him, so this will actually work out.
R3. Upon Iggy's arrival, Val & Artemis decided that city life was not feasible for a growing family, not to mention that their apartment would soon feel to small, they decided to buy their first house. So, they found a house in the suburbs, with spaces for everyone, plus a great garden for both gardening, and, the soon-to-be, two kids to play in. Artemis was the one to carry their new child this time, Val carried Can, so they had all the help from family and friends to make the move. Oh, upon having fully settled in their new home, they decided to adopt a reptile, neglected by the former owner, they named Luxor.
R4. Fern arrived (the big bros, Can and Iggy, are nuts about her, when she's not a fuss and wakes them up at night, that is, but otherwise they think she's the cutest thing in the world...), some months after the finish, finally, of the renovation of the house they bought four years ago. It took time, what with a busy life with two small children and work. They'd decided on a contemporary style, everyone's happy about it, and their home's in a friendly family neighborhood. They hit a jackpot with this location.

And just in time it appears, as they have welcomed another baby — their first girl! Two years ago, they also adopted a Norwegian boy named Jonas, so with seven family members, they are glad to have their own home at last. They move into a bungalow, and are loving it so far. It has three bedrooms, so Tristan is delighted to get his own, while Magnus and Jonas share, and Ciara sleeps in Echo and Scout's room. There's even a little garden for Liesl's hutch! The neighbourhood is friendly, Tristan and Magnus like their new primary school, and Jonas and Ciara are settling in at nursery. Echo and Scout are happy with their current arrangement.*

Luke started first grade this year, and has quickly shown himself to be a studious sort of child for whom academics come easily. Ashlyn is in preschool now and is the friendly, gregarious one who never met a person she didn't like.
