^ was going to say Jessica and Steph are from the first marriage too. That's a given.

Are 17, 15 and 10. Public schools. Oldest two are from your early (young!) marriage. Cierra is the half sister from your second marriage(his first) but you hate that term and it is never used. The girls are sisters, period.

Holy Moses! Abercrombie clothes, body spray, flip flops, lip gloss and tank tops everywhere. You no longer even bother to clean Jessica's room. It's best to keep the door closed. Jessica has been on Homecoming Court once, her freshman year, but that was before she had THE boyfriend, the one who breaks up with her just before major events like her 16 th birthday, Christmas and the night before SATS.

Stephanie is brash, loud and confident. More confident than Jess. She hangs out with a close group of girlfriends and can't be bothered to have a boyfriend. Stephanie and Jessica fight all of the time and don't even talk to each other at school.

Cierra is more reserved than her big sisters and sometimes the age difference seems like an insurmountable chasm. Cierra does her own thing and for the first time, you are immersed in the world of sports...Steph and Jess just dabbled in tee ball and cheer, but lost interest in about 4th grade. Cierra plays lacrosse, soccer and will be going to basketball camp.

You and your DH are both FT with fairly inflexible hours, 9-5 type jobs. You thought you could count on the older two to supervise Cierra, but, yeah, that's not happening, so you are always scrambling.

You are a 42 year old lesbian. You secretly named Holly after your first love, who you met at college. Your wife named William, after her deceased brother, whom you have never met. You love the twinkle your wife gets in her eyes when she talks about him. You are an attorney in a mid-sized law firm, specializing in Healthcare law. You drive a Prius, because your wife nagged you into caring about the environment. You are originally from upstate New York and root for the Yankees.

Haha! Not a single thing here is right or close to right.

Holly is named after one of your dearest friends from childhood. You love that your Holly is the only Holly in her age group and far too young to be associated with Hollie Hobbie of your childhood.

Holly is kind of your mini me; warm, loving and a bit old- fashioned. Not prissy, but cautious and feminine and traditional. She is and always has been an old soul type and tends to mother her friends, her parents and William.

William (tried to call him Will, but it just never took and so William it is) is named for his grandfather, who's Bill. William is also a sweet soul, but more withdrawn and introverted than his sis. He is a guy of few words, but when he has something to say, it is astute. He's very articulate, but you are always try to draw him out and improve his social skills. Other boys like him because he appears quietly confident. Great student.

He and his dad love to play catch together...for hours, it seems. They also go to Nats games together.

Bolded parts are close, though I am too young for Hollie Hobbie. My grandfather was Bill. And my husband can't play catch worth a damn - imagine the VW ad. The kids are a little to young to know their personalities yet.

Great names! Aaron is my brother, fwiw. I am going to say Jewish?

You are a CPA. Your husband is a private pilot, and you used to live in Florida, where your husband worked at the flight school that trained the guys who flew the planes into the World Trade Center. Once, while you were at work Victoria called you and you could hear the nanny giving David his medicine, which you'd already given him. You were very angry when your boss brought up in your review your inability to control your emotions, all because he saw you cry that day. (You fired that nanny.)

You, DH, Victoria and David moved from Florida to MD, and you were much happier here, which is when you got the surprise of being pregnant with Nora. David dotes on her, Victoria ignores her. You are petite, and you iron your khakis to very sharp creases. You interpret people sharing about their lives with you as asking for advice, but you dole out the advice in a funny way so people don't mind. Your hair is blown out straight but you don't do a great job at it, and it's not shiny.

Holly and William.
