Dog: PadfootKyle & Marie, Lily, Billie, Robbie, Harry, Sunny, Emma, & PadfootEmma moving in with us has been a rough transition. Her doctor told her that she has muscle problems and cannot live on her own anymore. Nowadays someone almost always has to be home with her and we can't leave her alond for long stretches of time. Lily, Billie, Robbie, Harry, & Sunny are overjoyed, of course, that their grandma is moving in.Lily is 9 now and in 4th grade. She's a straight-A student and a teacher's pet ;). Robbie and Billie are 6 and in second grade. Robbie is quiet and enjoys reading, while Billie is hyper and prefers being outside. Harry is now 3 1/2. He has a tendency to grind his teeth and that is irritating them. Kyle and I are worried that if he doesn't stop he will wear them completely down, as the dentist said. We're trying to stop Harry whenever he starts it and he has lessened it somewhat, but he still needs improvement.REMEMBER CEDRIC DIGGORY: The Real Triwizard ChampionImage Hosted by ImageShack.us

DMother: Svetlana "Nanna" -80
Rabbit: Tumeric (nn Tumi)Vladislav insisted that his mother, Svetlana, move in with us, and I promptly agreed. Her name’s Svetlana, and she’s your typical Russian grandmother/mother-in-law – she cooks great food and is good with the kids. I wanted the children to call her by the Russian form of Grandmother, but Vladislav wanted her to be known as Nanna, which made matters easy. She moved in with us because her husband, Vitaly, died recently and we thought that she would like some company. Also, we needed a babysitter because I really wanted to get back into the workforce!Finally, we welcome baby number five into the world. Her name is Ludmila, which means “princess” in Ukrainian, and she’s really beautiful. She was born on September 29, and that’s her name day in Russian. Louisa Maeve feels very lucky to have a little sister, and she’s been doing really well in school. She’s passed all of her reading tests with flying colours and has been doing very well at her language school. Evander and Felix are also doing excellently – they stick together most of the time and like playing in the backyard rather than sitting at the computer playing games. Casimir has developed a strange habit that has worked to our advantages – he always puts our shoes in the one spot, lined up against the wall in the foyer. It’s very cute and we always get a good laugh out of it.i> Try to be the best you can be, and if you can't then you can just pretend! :D

Can we choose what the new baby looks like? You didn't mentioned looks, and I fancy having a little ginger kid. ;-)Grandmother and Baby #5It wasn't soon after Daisy discovered she was pregnant for the fourth time - amazingly, it was planned this time - when Ada, Ray's mother, turned up on the doorstep, dragging a suitcase and looking peeved. Turned out that Robbie, Ada's husband and Raymond's father, has been cheating on her with a man thirty years his junior, no less. Naturally, Ada was rather upset, and ended up moving in with Daisy, Ray and her four grand-children. Violet, Alister and Reggie are glad to have her around, but Larson seems to think she's the Loch Ness Monster in a wig, and would either run screaming from her or attempt to lampoon her with various kitchen utensils.The birth of Baby Five was drawing close, and Daisy and Ray simply could *not* agree on a name. In an attempt to save their sanity (and, quite possibly, their marriage), Ray finally suggested leaving it up to fate and naming the next baby after her name day.Their daughter was born on October 1st - imagine, then, Daisy's joy when she discovered that October the first was none other than the latvian name day for Lara! Ray had to agree that this was more than meer coincidence, and finally agreed to name his daughter after Daisy's heroine.
Lara Jaqueline Ada Valentine-Driver was 6lbs 10oz, and has red head and brown eyes.The rest of the children are doing well. Violet loves having another girl around. She's doing well at school, although seems to have hit the rebellious stage rather early. Alister, amazingly, is still at the dress-wearing stage, and he's started stealing make-up to go with it. Larson's current ambition is to be a oil-rig worker cum stuntman. Reggie, who is 3, seems to have acquired a taste for wallpaper, and spends a large chunk of the day trying to eat it.LN: Valentine-Driver

DS/DS: Alec Leighton / Hayden Jack, 6
DS: Liam Henry, 3 ½
DD: Ava Kate
DGrandmother: Katherine Marie "Kate"

DCat: TadWell, Jack and I finally have another little girl! Ava Kate arrived on Christmas Eve (hence her name, since we didn't want to call her Christmas). Emma is absolutely over the moon, because as much as she loves her brothers, she's been hoping for a sister for a long time. She loves bringing pictures of Ava to school to show off to her friends, and she is always asking Jack or me if she can help out with the baby. She wants to know when she'll be old enough to babysit.Now in fourth grade, Emma still loves school as much as ever. She's a straight-A student, and all of her classmates love her. She's also taken up playing soccer. She's not the best on the team, but she likes it and is having a lot of fun. She even scored a goal last Saturday!The twins are now six and in the first grade. Their personalities are still very different: Hayden loves sports and is currently involved in baseball (well, T-ball) and swimming. He wants to take up football when he gets older; I, of course, am a bit hesitant about that one. Alec, on the other hand, has developed an ear for music. He especially loves the oldies - from the Beatles to the Rolling Stones to the Eagles - and pretty much everything else he hears on the radio. We started him in a guitar class and he's surprisingly very good considering how long he's been playing. He says he wants to try the drums next, but I don't think we'll be getting him a drum set.

DD: Nathalie CristinaDGrandmother: Cristina Marie
Bird: BlazeLuke and I are happy to announce the arrival of our fifth child, and finally, it's another girl! Nathalie Cristina came into the world late Christmas Day at 11:36 PM, weighing 7 pounds, 4 ounces; 19 1/4 inches long. Nathalie has light brown hair and gorgeous hazel eyes that seem to change color, depending on what she's wearing. We went with the name Nathalie because it means "Christmas Day", so we thought it was very appropriate. Her middle name, Cristina, is for Luke's mother.Speaking of Luke's mother, with five children and a very busy household, she has moved in with us. She took up our offer a while after Luke's father had passed away. She would keep busy, but we figured she was rather lonely in their big house on her own. The kids were thrilled to have her move in with us. Cristina is a wonderful grandmother, and the kids love spending time with Grandma, as they call her. That second master suite is definitely coming in handy now, and we're happy to have her living with us. She is very hands-on with the kids, helping Ellie Grace with her homework, playing with the boys, and helping with the baby. She and I get along wonderfully, and we are very close.Ellie Grace is now nine years old and is thrilled to finally have a little sister. She was so excited when she found out it was a girl, and now, she loves to come home after school and help out with the baby. She's phenomenal with her, playing with her, holding her, and just being a wonderful big sister. She's also doing wonderfully in school and is a great student. She loves to read and is still quite the perfectionist with very high grades. She still loves figure skating and is getting ready to skate in pairs, rather than singles.Grant and Cade are six years old and are still very different. Despite being very different, they are very close and are known for sticking together. Cade is still the much more outgoing of the two and is very much the leader. He's still far more independent and willing to take risks, and occasionally gets in trouble at school for talking when he's supposed to be doing something else. On the other hand, Grant is much more quieter in school and is known for always doing what he is supposed to.

DD: Juliet CarolynThe beloved grandmother, Carolyn, is Ron's mother. She is too old to live by herself as she is developing Alzheimer's. The kids are enjoying having her around although the disease makes them a little uncomfortable at times. They call her Grandmum, we're not sure where that came from, because I'm half Irish hald Danish and Ron's mostly American with a little French.
Our new baby girl, Juliet Carolyn, was born on July 30th. The French name for her birthday is Juliette, but we liked Juliet better. Ella is so excited to have a baby sister!
Ella is now nine. She's growing up so fast! We started her on piano when she was four, just like I was. She also enjoys the flute. Every spring we sign her up for recreation soccer, which she loves too. She does terrific in school and shows great promise! Her and Peter are still great friends
Caius and Remus are 6 years old, just starting kindergarten. They are best friends still and are with each other most of the time. Caius really likes sports and stuff like that but doesn't seem to be able to do music, but Remus was started on the piano two years ago. He loves it, just like Ella and me!

Maddie is thrilled to have a little sister! she loves having another girl in the house to play with and to hold. no matter their differences Brody and Wes are inseparable. Brody is very much into sports and has SO much energy, while Wes is alot more calm and quiet and likes to read and draw.

The thing was I couldn't tell that it was her at first because all I could hear was sobbing. She finally calmed down enough to tell me that something had happened to Robert. I told her to calm down and I'd be there in a few minutes. I grabbed up Gabriel and made it to Lily's house in ten minutes. When I got there I found Lily at the door. She was crying and a mess, it was the first time that I had seen her not looking perfect. I must admit I was slightly scared. I told Lily to hold Gabriel and I went into the kitchen where Robert was lying on the floor.

Alex's mother Juliet Katherine has moved in as she recently had an accident and needs extra care. The children call her Grandma as she thinks Grandmother is too formal and Nana would get confusing with little Nan. Valentine Juliet was born early on St. Valentine's day as you might have guessed. Nan has caught up at school and is progressing well now she has extra support. She has recently staretd attending art classes. Harry and James though very different are very close. James is quite happy to let Harry boss him around. Harry is into computer games whereas James prefers the great outdoors. Charlie has developed a strange habit of walking off with everyone's possesions but at least they are easy to find!
