-DS [10]: Cassian David Benson Matthews --- Cambridge, Massachusetts-Jonathan finished pre-law at Stockholm University and met his husband, Alvar Felix Ahlberg there. Alvar is a nurse. Jonathan went to law school at Harvard (shocking, right?) and is now a family/divorce lawyer. He and Alvar want children but are planning on waiting a few years, as they are very busy with their jobs. In their free time, the two of them love to watch old movies. Since moving to Cambridge for law school seven years ago, Jonathan and Alvar have gone to visit Hadley and her family several times. It was strange at first, re-associating with a mom he hadn't seen in years, but Jonathan loves being able to see his mom and watch his half-siblings grow up.
-Laurie just graduated pre-med from the University of Iceland. He is going to med school at Duke. In his free time, he loves running track and biking. He met his fiancee, Libby, at a track contest about a year ago, right after he'd just moved to NC. Libby is graduating with a degree in education and wants to be a math teacher.
-Gertrude is working as a dog trainer on her and her husband's farm outside of Höfn, Iceland. She is working with sheep dogs and training obedience. In her free time, she likes to fish with her husband, Anton Finnur Leifsson. The two of them run the farm together. They got married as soon as Gertrude turned 18, and have had two daughters since then.
-The younger two Cross children and the parents moved to London three years ago, and Max loves it. He has great grades and loves to play soccer and sing.
-Percy likes London, too, and he loves acting and playing basketball. His grades aren't as good as Max's, but they aren't that bad.
-Charlotte has continued gymnastics since she started as a baby and she loves it. She is very good at gymnastics and very competitive. Charlotte also plays bass in her middle school orchestra and is on the volleyball team. She has great grades.
-Cassian plays baseball and is fairly good at it. He also plays piano and is in a creative writing class. He has good grades.~ Emma ~
