Lucas and Vivienne grew up together in the same very small town back in the hills of Washington. By Vivienne's final year of high school, they were making plans. The night she graduated, the grabbed their packed bags and headed for Reno to get married. After a long weekend, they moved to Portland to see what they could make of life. Both of their families are hard working people with little money of their own. They knew that they were going to be pretty much on their own.Both Lucas and Vivienne got jobs as quickly as possible. And then, Lucas applied for college - he wanted to work on computers and maybe write gaming programs. Just as things were getting settled, Vivienne announced that she was pregnant. They waited a few months before Vivienne finally found a clinic. When she was first checked out she found out that the doctor heard 2 heartbeats! This was a shock, but 2 or 1, the child was going to be welcome. A few months later they welcomed home their first sons.Now Manny and Zeke are both fighting over the keys to the van most mornings... even though there is a schedule set out that Vivienne rarely lets change. Both Manny and Zeke are in track after school. Ezra and Leo are both on the swim team and stay late for that. Effie, Margo and Clio are in the Drama club, school newspaper, and a part of the student body (all in minor rolls at this point).Tolly and Finny are in the same class, but Finny's teachers are wanting to move him up a grade. At the moment, Lucas and Vivienne aren't going for it. He's already the smallest child in the school and they don't feel that the K-12 school needs to move him into a classroom of yet bigger and older kids just to provide a challenge.A few months ago Lucas and Vivienne got a shock when Vivienne figured out that he fall flu-bug was actually morning sickness. Lou is a little doll of an infant, and all of her older siblings dote on her in one way or another. However, Lucas and Vivienne felt that having a dozen bodies at the dinner table (not including guests!) was quite enough, and both took measures to make sure that no more surprises would happen. They love their big, active family. It takes a lot of work to keep everything moving smoothly, but the effort is worth it. Everybody cares for one another and watches out for each other. There is literally always a shoulder to cry on or somebody to talk to. Lucas and Vivienne have come pretty far in less the 20 years, and they are still only looking forward.
