Surname: Dupont
DH: Mattias Elias [33]
DW: Jennifer Leah [22]
DD: Io Starla [11]
DS: Abraham Ernst [8]
DD: Anneliese Elisabeth [4]
DS: Leo Olivier [2]A big five years for the Dupont family. Even with his finished schooling, Matt has failed to find more than a few slightly less dingy jobs at the docks. However, with the help of Maria and Mary Jane, Jen has set up a small sewing shop that brings in considerable buisness for the family and the two new additions, Anneliese and Leo.This has caused a rift between Matt and Jenny. He believes that, as the man, he should be the soul bread-winner in the family. Jen argues that, with the buisness taking off so well, and them being able to afford a bigger room for them and the children, it shouldn't matter who's earning the money. As of 1910, their marrige is under considerable strain.Meanwhile, Io and Abe are growing up. At this point, being the oldest in the family, they share all their secrets with eachother. However, it's hard being private, what with having to share a bedroom with their two new siblings.

Jonny is now ten. He is turning into a bright young man and has surpassed most children his age in school. He wants to go to college someday and maybe become a scientist or a writer.

Benny is eight. He and Rachel are very close to each other, despite being two years apart. He still likes to tell jokes and have fun.
Rachel is six. Her best friend is Benny. Rachel also likes to make people laugh, and she is almost as good as her older brother at charming people and making them smile.
Bobby is four. He enjoys running around and being outside. His favorite job is helping Marie in the garden.
Charlie is one. He tends to be fussy, but calms down quickly, especially when his older brothers or sister is entertaining him. He especially likes the dog.

DS: Jack Albert (0)Four children in five years is quite good. Anna was only a year when we welcomed another daughter, Alice. We were quite happy with our four children by then but we found ourself pregnant again one and a half year later. Guess or surprise during the birth when we saw that it was two babies! Two babies, inside me! Woah! The first one to come out was Alex, or Alexander Julian which is his full name. The second one was our little doll, Sophie Augusta.
After the twins we never even thougt about having another child. But when the twins was one I asked Philip if he wanted another one. He did, but not yet. We decided to wait for a few months. A few months came and we decided to try for another baby. Just a week or two later we found our that I was already pregnant! So we had our little son, Jack, a couple of months earleir than expected. But we don't mind. He's an easy going baby and all his siblings loves him.

Arthur and Edith have Charlie, Essie, Ned, Oscar, Martha, Ada, Nora and Harry.
Dolly and Mary Jane also live with the family
Edith and Arthur have welcomed two more children; Nora and Harry, and are now definitely done having children! They have eight! The family has also moved to another city because Arthur had accepted a position teaching law at larger college. It is a very good job and the whole family has adjusted well to the move. It was difficult to begin with, especially for the older children, who were in school and had friends there, but they found new friends in their new home town soon enough and are now thriving. Charlie is top in his class and already uttered his desire to become a doctor. Both of the twins are very creative; Essie loves music and spends all her time playing the piano and singing and Ned wants to become a painter when he grows up!
Oscar likes to play chess and loves going to visit his father at work. Martha loves to read, she taught herself how to read before starting school. Martha reminds Edith of herself when she was a child. Ada just started school and is really outgoing; she always has friends over to play.
Nora is a real active little toddler and loves her baby brother, the baby of the family; Harry. Arthur and Edith have had Dolly to help out with the children and around the house for five years now, but they still needed extra help, so they hired a nanny named Mary Jane. She is great with the kids and her being around allows Edith to have some time to herself.
