Location: New York, New YorkLocation: Boston, MassachusettsNora and David welcomed two twin boys into their large family, Morgan and Cody, and then their final child, Otto. Yz was a bit disappointed not to have a little sister, but you get what you get and you don't get upset. Nora is still firmly convinced that all of her children are prodigies-- after all, Yz was published twice in Highlights magazine, Hudson was the star of his cello concert, Morgan and Cody can both finger paint above and beyond the other children a Little Hearts Day School, and Otto has shown advanced proficiency at drooling on himself. David takes a more rational view-- perhaps only a few of them will make Ivy League by the time they're sixteen. Madeleine and Anna have decided that having children is not for them at the moment, as they want to focus on their careers. James met Danny at college-- they were both going to school in Amherst, and have since been offered internships there. James is interested in starting his own Italian restaurant, while Danny would like to go into journalism. In their private lives, they are quite traditional and would like to adopt children someday. Zella and Hamilton are glad that at least one of their kids decided to live close to home, because Hamilton is getting on in years and isn't able to take as good care of the house as he'd like. As they grow older, they find that the look forward to visits from James and Danny more and more-- it's a constant in their life that they appreciate greatly. Victor, being the proprietary sort, moved the New York to become, as he claimed, a millionaire. He studied real estate under "the best" (he won't say whom) and attracted the beautiful young socialite Hope Zubarry. In spite of all this, Victor remains a down to Earth sort who plans to donate most of his earnings to charity, once he makes it. Hope appreciates that, and so do his parents-- they raised the boy well!
