DS: Grant JosephOur family was thrilled to welcome our newest little addition, Grant Joseph, to the world. The kids are so excited to have a little brother, especially the boys who can't wait to play with him. Elisabeth and Livvy were secretly hoping for a girl (we could just tell), but thye adore their baby brother and are simply wonderful with him.Everyone is doing well, though recently, John broke his left arm while riding his bike. He fell rather hard, and being the brave little boy that he is, didn't really cry, but we could tell he was feeling quite a bit of pain. We took him to the hospital, where they took x-rays and put his arm in a cast. Thankfully, it wasn't his right arm, since he is right-handed, but nevertheless, he misses playing sports, especially baseball, and is looking forward to when he gets the cast taken off.

He has put up a brave front, and gives the impression of being thrilled to have all his friends sign his cast. He has given so strong an impression, in fact, that Draven came to me yesterday to ask for a cast of his own. :)

DS: Theodore Matthew "Teddy"We just adopted Alexis Christophe, aged 7, from France, which Felix was delighted with; they've become great friends. Just a few weeks after Alexis joined the family, Felix (desperate to show off to his new big brother!) slipped and fell out a tree he was climbing, and managed to break his arm! I panicked and was extremely worried, but Felix thinks his new cast makes him look 'tough' and has been having a great time getting everyone to sign it! Unfortunately, Charlotte wants to be just like him and keeps trying to climb the same tree; luckily, the other three girls are more interested in their new baby brother Teddy and their new big brother to try any similar stunts.

Kaden, Charlie, Finn, and Deacon love having her around, though at first the twins were disappointed they weren't getting another little brother and Deacon was upset that he wasn't going to be the baby of the family anymore.Things around the house are especially hectic now, since Kaden also just broke his arm during a soccer game (he landed on it wrong). Luckily, he's putting on a brave face for his younger siblings and is not complaining about it at all.

She was playing on the monkey bars, and, well, she fell off. But she just got up and walked over to me and said: "Momma, my arm hurts". She only started to cry when the doctor actually told her she had broken her arm.

It doesn't really affect our lives. Seth is just as happy as before but we need tp help him with somethings because he can't use his arm so much.

Adele is learing violin and piano, Beatie is doing flute and piano and they are both doing singing and swimming. Lucy and Rowie are in pre-school and Rowie is quite different from the other girls, the other girls are quite girly and quiet but Rowie is our little trouble maker. Unfortunately Rowie and her friend Anton at pre-school thought it might be funny to jump off the playground equipment onto a small matt and Rowie landed badly and broke her arm. Lucy was quite upset and insists on wearing a 'sling' like Rowies, this has been somewhat difficult because now she cannot go to swimming lesson or kindy gym.We have had two new arrivals, Percy and Gus. Percy came to us from a distant cousin from England, we are very happy to have him. He has curly blonde hair and blue green eyes and loves to swim and draw.Our little arrival is Gus, he is a very sweet natured baby and the girls adore him, especially Rowie!

DD: Cora JulietNote: Macy will not ageYesterday, Simon and a few other kids were playing on the playground, like usual. They decided to all jump from the monkey bars (apparently Simon's friend, Adam,'s mom wasn't paying much attention... I'll be sure not to have Simon go to the playground when she's there now. But as I was saying, Simon and his friends Adam, Tommy and James decided to jump off the monkey bars. Simon (being the daredevil he is) jumped first. And, as told by Simon "I heard a cracky sound but I thought it was a twig or something". Then his friends when. They all landed fairly fine but got scrapes and cuts. That wasn't good. We've been teaching Simon to avoid the temptation of human blood. According to Simon, this is what happened. He was getting up and he smelled the blood. He could take the temptation and ran home. He's gotten a lot faster and his friends didn't see him go. That was really bad. By the time they got up he was already home and thet started screaming for Simon, according to his friends. The mom finally started paying attention and called the cops. When they came to our house, I was looking at Simon's arm (I'll get back to the broken arm part in a minute) and I had to make up a story that I actually told Adam's mom that I was picking Sim up at 4 because he has piano lessons at 4:30 (Since the clock read 4:45 when I said this, Alice became a piano teacher. Luckily she can play.). I told the police that when I picked him up the mom was talking to another woman and she acknowledged that I was picking Simon up because I said "I'm picking up Simon." and she was like "Ok. Whatever.".But back to Sim's arm. When he got home he said his arm felt "a little funny". I looked at it. And since I'm no doctor, I had Carlisle look at it (It's a good thing to have a doctor in the family). Carlisle said it's broken, but it'll be healed by the end of the week, Simon being only a half vampire and all.

DS: Nicholas Daniel "Nick" (Newborn)Our family has been doing great. Patrick is 8 now, Evan is 6, the triplets are 3, and our new addition Nick was just born and is doing very well. Patrick is in 3rd grade now. He recently tried a new stunt by jumping off the trampoline and broke his arm in the process. He was hurting for a while and Mike and I were hysterical but after a while he found having a cast pretty cool- especially after the other kids in his class signed it and drew pictures on it.Evan is 6 now. He's in first grade and he is doing very well. He's extremely smart and is doing well on all his schoolwork, but he's very quiet and sometimes has trouble making friends. He does have a few good friends though that he eats lunch with and plays with on the playground. Evan likes hanging out with his big brother Patrick a lot, as well as helping Mike and I with Annie, Lily, Sander, & Nick.Annie, Lily, and Sander are quite a handful. All three of them are very rambunctious and like to run around in circles. It's especially hard to find a babysitter and Mike and I haven't been doing much out of the house lately. It's definitely worth it though, because we love the triplets to death. They are very fun to be with. Annie and Lily are total girly-girls. They love dolls and clothes, and everything pink. Sander's the total opposite. He loves nothing more than to play baseball, football, basketball, soccer - you name it - with Patrick and Evan.The most recent addition to the Goldthwait family is our newborn son Nicholas Daniel Goldthwait "Nick". He has bright blue eyes, a full head of brown hair, and the most adorable smile imaginable. He's very talkative and loves to tell us all 'stories'. Patrick, Evan, Annie, Lily, & Sander love playing with him and reading to him. He sleeps relatively well through the night. He fits in perfectly with the rest of the family.

Our next door neighbors have never had much to do with us, but they also had a boy around the same time we had Brandon and Ava. I was so busy with the baby, and he was playing with the neighbor's kid, when I heard a scream. Brandon had fallen out of a tree and broke his wrist. He ended up being fine in the end, thank goodness. He wore a cast for six weeks, and got it off one week ago. Preschool begins next week for him, and he's got a great story.
Everyone else is great. Gabriel is in 4th grade and still loves school. Madeleine and Megan are loving 1st grade, though Madeleine is having a few social issues. Ava is being so wonderful, she made Brandon a card every day he had his cast on! And of course baby Bernadette is wonderful.

Unfortunately he broke his right arm and he writes with his right hand so he has to get the teacher to write things out for him. On the plus side (for him) the teacher Mrs. Wilson has agreed not to assign him any homework until his arm heals. Summer has been having a great time being an older sister to the triplets. She's always helping Ryan and I get them dressed in the morning and feeding them. She has been such a help! Niklas and Thomas don't show as much of an interest but they do like playing hide and go seek with Anthony (Anthony's new favourite game.) The triplets have grown so attached to thier siblings that they wait at the window for Summer, Niklas, and Thomas to get home from school because they just can't wait to see them!Other than Thomas' broken arm, all the children are in good health. They are so happy about baby Christina's arrival and they can't wait for her to grow up so they can all play together!

She'd fallen off the swingset (Alex and I are always telling them not to stand on the swings....) and onto her arm. We took her to the hospital where they took x-rays and put a cast on her wrist. It comes off in a few weeks, and she's been avoiding the swingset since then.General update: Ashton, Avril and Amelie are doing rather well in school. Ashton is very popular, and is best friends with Nate from next door. Avril is a lot like Ashton, and she often has playdates with kids from her class. Amelie is a lot shyer, and doesn't have nearly as many friends, but she is however best friends with Nate's younger sister, Emma.
Phoenix and River love spending the day at home with me and their two new sisters. The two of them are the best of friends.
