We don't live in the US. Hannah is a teenage only child who skipped crawling. I do have a Pinterest inspired playroom with 4-5 toddlers happily crawling about. I am expecting a new toddler to join soon. |

You were into unisex when they were little, Erin is now thirteen and still wears boys button down shirts over a tee shirt. Daniel went to private for elementary because of his dyslexia, a clueless teacher in public kept pushing him to get an ADHD diagnosis and meds but dad was not having it. He played tee ball for a few years but his true calling is now mountain biking. Erin was jealous her brother got to go a fancy school with fun uniforms (/she thought they looked like Harry Potter uniforms) and that caused some resentment with them as young kids. There okay now and both only care about video games in quarentone. Erin thinks she can join a pro team and make money. Dad is a striver and you are a little bit that’s loosened up since your”3 jobs will never match yourL ideal lifestyle. |
| Caroline and Audrey |
Someday Caroline will inherit the beautiful string of pearls your mother passed down to you when you married. You secretly love mommy and me dresses but you also know they are too much. Audrey is still happy to wear the lovely dresses with peter pan collars that you pick out, but, sadly, Caroline requires bribes to participate in family photo shoots. |

You & DH had everything planned out- large wedding in May, honeymoon on the Almafi coast and DC row house in trendyish neighborhood that isn't too overpriced yet but getting there. Needed a bit of work but a few paint jobs, modest bathroom redo by a friend of a friend who's a contractor and Serena & Lily furniture and you are proud to insta your space. You desperately wanted to get pregnant 2 years after the wedding and fielded the constant questions of when you & DH were having kiddos before throwing yourself into a Shady grove fertility clinic. Thankfully, the shots & hormone injections paid off and you were pregnant just in time for spring break at your parents place in Florida. You proudly parade your now too short Lilly pulitzer shift dress stretching over your pregnant belly. Fifi is the first granddaughter on both sides and her 529 is almost funded by the time she turns 2. DH gets job offer in North Carolina for money and you heavily consider it but decide against it cause there "won't be enough culture down there". You & DH are proud of your well put together patio where you have just started growing herbs- which you often talk about with visitors over Sauvignon blanc. Always Sauvignon blanc. You voted for Hilary & Biden, support BLM but no protests and love having 2 gay couples as friends. 3 weeks before Fifi turns 2, you prep your body again for a double transfer anticipating that best case only 1 will take and you know they are both male. You insta the announcement of having boy twins with Fifi holding a sign and you get over 300 likes. You & DH are currently talking about what Virginia suburb to move to. |
