The 'Lovejoys'
H: Quentin Jasper
W: Adelaide Violet
In Louisville, Kentucky
1) Quentin and Addie decide they wish to see more of the world and relocate to Romania. (Move - Argentina)
2) Quentin and Addie adopt Buddy, a blue Staffordshire Bull Terrier. (dog - Staffie - Buddy)
3) Addie is delighted to announce her pregnancy, she gives birth to a boy they name Lex Zephyr Lovejoy. Quentin and Addie splash out on a lot of new things for Lex, straining their finances slightly. (birth - 26 years old - a little over budget - Blue (male) - sporty)
4) The adventurous family travel to Japan for two weeks. (travel - Japan)
5) Buddy welcomes a furry brother in the shape of Shiba Inu, Monty. (dog - Shiba Inu - Monty)
6) The family grows by one with the arrival of Luka Enzo Lovejoy. Unlike with his brother, his birth doesn't break the bank. (birth - massively under budget - Luca (male) - sporty)
7) Addie begs Quentin for another holiday and this time the family journey to Argentina for a week. (travel - Argentina)
8) After saving up, Addie and Quentin take the boys on a trip of a lifetime to Australia for four weeks. (travel - Australia)
9) Addie and Quentin are pregnant for the third - and what they agree - the last time. Welcome Alban Finn Lovejoy, his parents are good at this now and so his arrival is under budget. (birth - massively under budget - Jude (male) - artistic)
10) Addie and Quentin decide to revisit Argentina for an extended period three years after their initial trip. (travel - Argentina)

Mine.
DW: Adelaide Frances
DH: Liam Jedidiah
Location: Baltimore, MD
Year 1 - Move (quiz result Denmark)
Ada's job meant relocating to Copenhagen. Unfortunately Liam's job was less transferable, but he is a flexible sort of guy and is willing to support his wife's career path as it takes a successful turn.
Year 2 - Dog (quiz result Border Collie)
After a year in Copenhagen and realizing how dog-friendly the places and people are, Ada and Liam decide to get a dog. They find a rescue border collie mix named Monty. He's friendly, a little on the older side, plenty energetic, and has an annoying habit of snuggling in between the two while they are in bed. He also eats socks.
Year 3 - Travel (quiz result Catskills)
Partially for family visit back to the States, but partially for a long getaway, Ada and Liam book an autumn trip to the Catskills for a bit of hiking, leaf-peeping, scenery, and cozying up by cabin fires.
Year 4 - Birth (quiz results Ivy Joanna)
Soon after New Year, Ada finds out she is pregnant, which is a relief. Although they hadn't actively been trying, she had been off birth control for the past year and a half and she was getting concerned, even though she is only 30. Financially, they aren't in any hardship (thanks in part to the services provided by the Danish government) but need to think about saving for a bigger apartment, as their one-bedroom in Copenhagen is feeling a bit cramped with the new baby gear. Little Ivy Joanna is born on October 2, a bit of a noisemaker and, it seems as she grows older and develops more personality, musically inclined.
Year 5 - Move (quiz result Norway)
This time, it's Liam's job that requires a move, although closer than the last one. They move to Norway, deciding to reside outside Oslo where the job is, closer to a national park.
Year 6 - Birth (quiz result August Eli)
Two months before Ivy's second birthday, August Eli is born on July 19th. They realize quite early on that he is on the whole more active than his sister... a lot more active. Breakable things are very quickly put away when he begins to crawl. Ivy adores him however, and he loves his big sister.
