For each round, you write a diary entry or a letter to your family and friends- whichever suits you best- and include the information given to you in the round. Try to use names you wouldn't normally use. My answers will come later.
Round One:
You're married / committed! Talk about your ceremony, how you and your spouse looked, what was unique about it, etc.
Round Two:
It's been two years, and your first child has been born! (You may document your / your spouse's pregnancy during this time.) What is your child's name? What does s/he look like? Is your house ready for a child?
Round Three:
It's been three years, and you have decided to adopt two children. What country are they from? What are their names? Genders? What do they look like? How old are they? Do they interact well with your first child? Your first child is three years old. What's going on with him / her?
Round Four:
It's been one year. You / your spouse has just delivered multiples! How many? What are their names? What do they look like? You now have five or more children, and it's time to move to a larger house to accomodate your growing family. What does the house look like? One of your children wants to adopt a pet. Which one? What kind of pet? How are all your children doing?
Round Five:
It's been four years. Unexpectedly, a relative has passed away and has left their children to you. How many children? How old are they? What are their names? Are they old enough to understand and cope with what has happened? While they are adjusting to their new life, you or your spouse become pregnant again! You deliver your last child. What is it's name? What does it look like?
Summary:
It's been ten years. Looking back, what do you think of your life and your family?

My GAME OF LIFE............
(I'll be playing Kathryn Charlotte Laine)
Round One:
On June 14th, 2006, after many years (okay, only one year) of deliberation, Noah Breache and I tied the knot. We were married in his family church, Chalailey United Free Church, of Chalice, Connecticut, the same place he was christened twenty-one years ago (we picked it for those sentimental reasons). The ceremony was lovely. As I've always said, I didn't want my Dad to walk me down the isle, so I strode the red velvet carpet myself. Noah stood tall with his younger brother, Elijah, the best man, at his side, and opposite him was my sister, and best friend, Niamh. (Fast-forwarding to the reception, I thought I noticed Niamh and Elijah giving each oither "wistful" glances. Turns out I was right! They are now engaged.) But, back to me: I was shaking from head to toe as I was read my vows, and, though I've heard them many times over all of my twenty-one years, I only just now understood them fully. After the "I do"s, it is all a blur, and I think I finally became aware of reality again as Noah pulled me into the back of the carriage and we were off. The reception was a night to remember. The wedding planner, Mrs. Jacqui Phyllipe, was worth every penny! And Noah's and my first dance was a tear-jerking one. Not often do you see two people that are genuinely in love! Afterwards, proceding toasts and speeches, we loaded into our coach and waved goodbye to friends and family. The Honeymoon, spent in my native Ireland, was fantastic! (And can you believe the news of Elijah and Niamh!?)

I'll be playing myself, Jennifer Nicole O'Brien *Jen* (the LN is made up).
Round One:
On May 13th, Sam and I officially became Mr. & Mrs. Samuel Silva. We had a wonderful wedding ceremony at the church that I grew up in. We were married in the evening, and the chapel was beautifully decorated with flowers and candles. My sister was my Maid of Honor, and Sam's brother was the Best Man. My brother was an usher, and his sister was a bridesmaid, and then some of our closest friends were also ushers and bridesmaids. The men all looked dashing in their tuxes, but I must say that my husband was the most dashing of all :) I wore a beautiful white gown and my hair was curled and clipped up. My bridesmaids wore a very light lilac color, and everything was absolutely perfect.
Round Two:
It has been two years since Sam and I were married, and we were thrilled to discover we were expecting our first child. Our beautiful little girl, Elisabeth Maria Grace, came into the world on January 14th, at 9:34 AM, weighing 6 pounds, 4 ounces; 18 3/4 inches long. We chose the names Elisabeth & Grace simply because we loved them, but Maria was chosen because she was born the day before my grandmother's birthday, so we wanted to give her a part of her great-grandmother's name. Ellie Maria, as we are calling her right now, has light brown hair and gorgeous hazel eyes that seem to change color depending on what she's wearing. Her nursery was completely ready for her arrival and is decorated for a little princess, with very light pink and white lace.
Round Three:
Ellie Maria is now three years old, and we've decided to adopt two beautiful sisters from Greece. We traveled there on vacation and fell in love with the both of them. We knew they had to become a part of our family. The eldest, Melissa Zoe, celebrates a birthday on September 28th, and is Ellie's age, so it works out wonderfully. The two of them adore each other and love to do everything together.

Dear grandmother,
Andrew and I were so sorry that you missed our wedding due to your accident. I know the trip from Australia is simply too long when you have a broken hip. I was dreadfully upset that you weren't there to share the day with us, so I will document it all for you so you can try to imagine it.
The ceremony took place at my church, because Andrew said he didn't mind, as he isn't very religious. We decorated it with lilies. I wanted white roses as well, but we couldn't since Rose is allergic to them. Isn't it ironic? My sister Rose is allergic to roses. Well, the church looked lovely. You know how pretty it is, with it's chandeliers and stained glass windows.
I am completely in love with my dress. I've enclosed pictures, but they're not very good, so I'll describe it as well. It was cream colored silk with off-the shoulder sleeves. It had a decorative corset back and a long skirt. I wore it with the lacy, floor length veil that you gave me from your wedding. Rose and the girls wore very pretty white garden dresses, and the men wore suits. Andrew looked very handsome.
The party began at five. It took place in these lovely gardens that were right near the water. We lit candles after sunset, and the whole place was very beautiful.
Tommorrow we leave for our honeymoon in Europe. I miss you grandmother, and I hope we can come visit you soon,
Your granddaughter,
Mrs. Violet Seymour Walton

Dear grandmother,
You’re a great-grandmother now! My daughter was born yesterday at 10:58 pm, weighing 7 pounds, 3 ounces. Andrew and I are thrilled. We’ve decided to name her Adelaide Mary. Adelaide is partly for you, since you live in Adelaide, and Mary is for Andrew’s mother. Addie is so sweet. She has blue eyes and blonde hair, however her hair will probably darken as she gets older, being that my hair is auburn and Andrew’s is brown.

I will be playing as a character named Georgia Beth "Gina."
Round One:
In high school, we were voted sweetest couple. And now, five years later, we're married! Harris and I were married last weekend. The ceremony was beautiful, set in a garden, the trees and the flowers blooming gracefully. I wore a flowing ivory gown, complete with embroidery that matched the embroidery on my mother's gown. Harris looked stunning in his tuxedo. It was a very happy day for everyone involved!
Round Two:
Harris and I are beaming with pride. Two days ago, we welcomed Aliya Ruby into the world on January 11th. She has dark round eyes and the biggest smile I've ever seen on such a young baby! We love her to pieces! While my pregnancy was hard, the end result was the best I could ever imagine!
Round Three:
Aliya, now three and a half, can enjoy being a sister! We have recently adopted two children from a local adoption agency. We bring Carmen Leah, six, and Elliot Finley, two, into our home. Carmen is dark-haired like Aliya, with pale blue eyes and a sweet face. Elliot has wavy blonde hair with the same eyes as Carmen and a round face, looking similar to Harris when he was Elliot's age! Carmen is enrolled in first grade and has made several friends, while Aliya is just beginning preschool. The girls are good friends, and both are taking ballet lessons together. Elliot definitely has a wild side and loves to run through the park. He is excited to be with us!

Sounds like fun!
I'll be playing a woman named Zara Emiline. She has long light brown hair and green eyes.
Entry #1
My name is Zara. My husband, Matthew Solomon, gave me this diary as a present for our first month wedding anniversary. Even though its a month since we exchanged vows, I still remember our wedding day vividly. I was wearing a beautiful white wedding dress with lace and pearls. It had belonged to both my mother and grandmother. I made some alterations to it and now it is wonderful enough for the next generation to wear. Matt wore a crisp black tuxedo and has never looked more polished. Matt's dusty blond hair was slicked back and was actually somewhat under control. I'll never forget the way his brown eyes sparkled when he looked at me. Our wedding was a traditional affair--inside a church with lots of family and friends. For our honeymoon, Matt and I decided that we would go on a trip to Scotland and see all the castles and ancient buildings there. We got back a few days ago. We had a great time!
Entry #2
Matt and I have been busy these past two years. We bought a big country home and are renovating it completely. We have six and a half acres of land and hope to get some of it landscaped soon. After ten months of being married, I found out that I was expecting our first child! Matt couldn't wait to be a father. We decided not to know the gender of our firstborn. The pregnancy was surprisingly easy and when our son was born, it was the greatest feeling I've ever experienced. Matt wanted to name our first son after his father (who died when he was ten and a half). I agreed and so our son was named Hiram Lucas. Hiram is about two months old now and he is so much fun! He is sleeping about eight hours at a time now and he knows his name and is already trying to talk. Hiram has his daddy's blond hair and brown eyes, but his facial features resemble mine.
