Someone in your family got arrested. Who and what happened?Hi, Rebecca here.This morning, as I was looking after James, I found out that my husband (Michael) and my little brother got arrested for possesion of drugs. I quickly took James to my sisters house and went to the police station. The police told me that my little brother, who is 14, was taking cocaine as Michael was supervising. When I confronted Michael about this he denied it, saying that he came and was trying to get my brother to stop and then the police arrested both of them thinking Michael let my brother take the drug. My brother later admitted to it and has been taken to rehab. Michael got his charges taken back but he was warned that it will always be on his record. My parents are extremely upset with my brother and he is grounded for the next six months. He misses home and now excepts what he did was wrong. He will be let out of rehab in 3 weeks.

Random event number: 5 Your DH and DW had a fight. What was it about and what happened?When John was offered a job in Utah, he suggested that the family should move. That simple sugesstion dragged into a huge fight. Maddie strongly stated that she would not move. John told Maddie that they were moving despite what her opinion was. John and Maddie continued to fight until Maddie became very angry. She and the children went to her mothers for the night. Given some time alone, John finally went to his mother-in-law's house and apoligized to Maddie.

Since the only children in the family are Winnie and Magda, I'm treating them as older kids to fit the storyline. Tell me if that's not ok and I'll change it.LN: Powell
DH: Andrew Niall
DW: Miriam Edith
DD/DD: Winter Gethsemane and Magdalene Snow (4)Andy and Miriam Powell with Winnie and Magda.Winnie and Magda started school this year. They were really excited about going, however things didn't work out quite so well. They started in different classes; Magda thrived on the friends and activity in her class, but Winnie found it hard to cope without her sister and didn't make many friends. She was being picked on by someone in her class, and started to hate going to school. Andy and Miriam met with the teachers to try to sort something out. It was decided that she should be moved to the same class as Magda, both to see if Winter coped better with her twin and to separate her from the bully. It seems to be working, although Winnie is still apprehensive she's enjoying school, and Magda loves having her sister around.60

DD/DS: Eve Angerona Winter / Judah Nazario Thomas
Random event number: 36At the birth of your child the doctors realised that it was a twin. How do the family react?
Julia had felt from the very beginning that there may be more than one little one growing in her, but the doctors assured her that it was just going to be a big baby. With this news, Francisco and Julia had spent several weeks preparing for the arrival of their beautiful baby girl. Pink wallpaper, pink bedding, and even pink curtains decorated the nursery room. Because the baby's due date was December 24th, Francisco and Julia planned to name her Eve. They chose Angerona because of Francisco's nationality, and to go along with the Christmas theme. Winter just seemed like a nice addition to the subtle meanings of the name they had chosen.
Julia was rushed to the hospital on December 17th when her water broke. After some struggle with vaginal delivery, the doctors took an ultrasound and discovered that there were TWO in there! Eve had apparently been blocking her brother all along, and was now in a different position due to the labor, finally allowing her twin to show his face. After an emergency C-section and a lot of stress and excitement, both Eve and her brother were born healthy, and spent only two days in the hospital. The doctors said it was a Christmas miracle that Julia was able to carry her twins so close to full term.
Keeping with the Christmas theme, the pround parents of two named their son Judah Nazario Thomas. Nazario was an Italian name that they once again chose to honour Francisco's heritage. The couple decided that an appropriate second middle name for their surprise baby would be Thomas, which quite fittingly means "twin".
And of course, they had to do some redecorating when they arrived home!

Random event number: 47"your DH and DW had a fight. What was is about and what happened?"The joyous arrival of Joshua and Jesus Sinistra was marred somewhat by a huge fight between Reggie and Valentina. After discovering they were having twins, the couple agreed they could name one each. The ultra-religious Reggie was shocked and appalled when his wife announced she wanted to name the youngest son Jesus, in defiance of organized religion (and Nevada after her favourite Tomb Raider level, although he had less of a problem with that). Reggie finally agreed after Valentina promises they could call their second son 'Xue' and use Jesus only as a formal name ('Xue' as in 'Jesu').

Random event number: 49Winter's birth was really difficult for her. The first twin was born breach, which was quite a scare. They almost had to do a c-section, but thankfully, everything turned out alright in the end, and her beautiful baby, Gethsemane was born with bright green eyes and brown hair. Then came Eva-Noelle, who was identical to her sister. We knew that Gethsamane was the larger of the two twins, but we had no idea that Eva-Noelle's embilical cord was only as big around as a shoelace. We are so thankful the Lord blessed us with these beautiful children!

Random event number: 64My best friend Laurel, who I've known since elementary school, recently passed away in a freak skydiving accident. As her ex-husband is in jail, and she hasn't been in touch with what little family she has in many years, she left her two young sons to me. We had always promised each other that - god forbid, anything happen to us - we would care for the other's children, so I of course wanted to honor this promise, despite the fact that Silas and I had just brought our newborns, Jordan and Joanna, home from the hospital. Caring for the four kids, there aren't enough hours in the day, so I've at least been able to keep my mind occupied, and not dwell so much on the boys' - and my- loss. Not that it's been easy or anything, because it certainly has not. I spend nights alternating between passing out in our bed, getting what sleep I can, or sobbing in the bathroom, trying not to let Silas hear. Oh, Silas. He's been wonderful throughout this ordeal, and so good with the boys. I would not be able to get through this time without him.. I just don't know what I would do.

Your DW had a diffuclt birth, what happened?John and I were thrilled to find we were expecting a baby. And w were even more surprised when we went for an appointment and learned we'd be having not one, but two babies! Twins do run in my family, but I never thought I'd actually have a set, let alone on our first pregnancy. But of course, we were happy and excited, but certainly, a bit nervous. John and I decided that we did not want to know whether we were having two boys, two girls, or a boy and a girl, and so, we were happily surprised when we welcomed our son and daughter into the world.Their arrival didn't come easy, though, and for a while, turned quite frightening. We were in the hospital and all was going well, up until shortly after our son was born. It had been a long and rather difficult labor, but when I looked at our son for the first time, he was absolutely perfect...five pounds, fourteen ounces; nineteen inches long, and looked so much like his Daddy. He had light brown hair and dark blue eyes, and I couldn't wait for his sister to join him.Her heartrate, however, started to drop and there was concern for a while over whether we'd have to resort to a C-section for her arrival. I didn't want to, but at the same time, knew I'd do anything to keep her safe and bring her into the world healthy (and quickly, if need be). She stabilized, but only for a while, and we went through the entire fear again. Fortunately, though, her heartrate fell back into rhythm, and she joined her brother at five pounds, four ounces; eighteen inches long. Though, considerably smaller, she was just as perfect with light brown hair and gorgeous, sparkling blue eyes.We had a few names pick out for both babies, but the moment I saw our son, I knew he was his father's son and wanted nothing more thant to give him Daddy's name. And so, John it was. Dad wasn't convinced on having a junior, so his middle name, Joseph, is in honor of John's father and my uncle. Our daughter's name was slightly more difficult in choosing, but we agreed, that of our top choices, she looked most like a Natalie. Her middle name, Maria, is in honor of my grandmother.

However, when I'm still carrying extra pregnancy weight, can't exercise often, my hormones are gone wild and I feel plain gross, it would be reassuring to hear 'You look nice' in response to me being insecure. Or heck, I'd settle for 'Fear not, I still find you attractive.' Not 'You're huge! Look at you!' Because I'm getting that from everybody else - friends, coworkers, acquaintances, the bus driver - and well, I need to hear something different from him. And I shouldn't have to break down crying in order to elicit it.He thought I was overreacting. Maybe I was, but for the love of God, I'm hormonal! Could you please keep your stupid comments on my weight to yourself? This morning he finally came to his senses and apologised.

They decided to name her Mary Eva after both Grandma's-to-be. At 25 weeks Emily started cramping badly and bleeding. They rushed to the hospital. The doctors discovered that the placenta was pulling away. They did an emergency c-section. Mary Eva was delivered only weighing 1lb 9oz. She had a severe bleed on her brain. Jonathan and Emily were devistated. Little Mary only lived 2 days.

A few weeks prior to Joanna's birth, we received terrible news -- Nate's 96-year-old grandmother, Evelyn, had fallen ill and died in her sleep. While it wasn't unexpected, given her age, we were of course very sad. Instead of the middle name we had intended to give Joanna (Snow, my maiden name), we chose to honor Nate's grandmother by using Eve.

You've found a stray kitten. Whatt happened? Did you keep it or not? If so, name it from the namebanks and add it to your family.Wil and Bekah have just welcomed their first child! It's a girl named Eira Noelle. Eira is very laid back and not too difficult to care for. Bekah and Wil are immensely enjoying their first child and hope to have another sooner rather than later. Two months before Eira was born, Wil brought a stray kitten home from work. It had been hanging around the parking lot for several days and he finally decided to pick it up and bring it home. After a checkup at the vet's the kitten was pronounced to be healthy, but underweight. Wil and Bekah decided to name the silver tabby Judah. Judah is very playful and only a few months old. He has taken a liking to Eira and spends much of his time curled up at her side.

Random event number: 13Trenton and Jace have been living and working in New York City for three years now. Trenton is a police officer who hopes to make it into the FBI, and Jace is a lawyer with a firm that specializes in adoption cases made by homosexual couples. With Trenton's dangerous job, neither of them ever considered adopting a child themselves.Then Trenton and his partner, a young woman named Cassie Wright, uncovered a ring of kidnappers who had been taking young babies from hospitals and selling them to rich parents. Trenton and Cassie were undercover for six months to gather the evidence needed to make a case. During that time, Trenton met an infant boy, named Nicholas Lee by his father, who was being held for three months before his "adoption" because his buyers were in the middle of a massive remodeling project. Nicholas had been born over a month prematurely, and his mother had died during the birth. While Nicholas was being held, Trenton fell in love with him without realizing it. After the operation was brought down, Trenton took Nicholas from his buyers personally and tried to find his father. Unfortunately, Nicholas's father was in prison by that time - he had been a part of the kidnapping ring!Nicholas went into foster care, and Trenton asked Jace if they could adopt him. Jace just smirked and told him he'd called his partner as soon as Trenton hung up the phone that morning. The papers were ready, and the hearing was set for one week from that date.Jace's partner won the case easily, and Nicholas went home with Trenton and Jace that night, renamed Nicholas Baltazar Wayland. Nicholas is a happy, healthy baby who turned one year old just yesterday. He can be a bit of a handful, but to Trenton and Jace, he's their little miracle.
