5 years have passed. Joseph and Markie now have three more grandchildren. Fun moment occured when Daisy and Anna both gave births on the same day at the same hospital, after having gone through pregnancy rigamarole together. The youngest member of the family is now John's little brother, born last year.
Mavis' sister has a vintage FN that's still usable nowadays. Her MN is related to the woods/forrests.
John's sister has a classic FN and a long, complex MN.
John's brother has a name that's been popular for several decades, but is not really a 'classic'. His MN honors a male member of the Girard family.

Cori and Beau had a beautiful rural wedding with all their family members present. Billy and Holly are proud of their kids, and they're planning on retiring and passing the farm on Cori and Beau who are still young and keeping up with current trends in technology and sustainability.
Three new babies have arrived in the last 5 years. Peter got a little brother while Cori and Beau welcomed two lovely girls.
Peter's brother has a FN that's quite international but not overly popular. His MN is Dutch but easily pronounced in English.
Cori and Beau wanted to continue with the uncommon, bold name tradititon set by Cori's parents.
Their daughters have long and frilly names with short nicknames. Their middle names refer to colors, patterns or fabrics.
