It's been another eventful five years for the Sander family. The triplets - Evan, Gracie, and Annie - are now fifteen, Ben is thirteen, Nick is eleven, the twins - Dylan and Lily - are ten, Julia is seven, Olivia is five, and the newest addition to our family - Samuel Dominic "Sam" Sander - is one year old.Evan and I weren't planning on having any more children after Olivia was born. Raising nine children was not going to be an easy feat in any way. However, when I found out I was pregnant with Sammy, we knew there was no changing what was about to happen and just decided to get ready.All the kids, surprisingly, were really excited about having yet another baby in the house. It wasn't really any big deal to Evan, Gracie, or Annie, seeing as they already had six younger siblings, but they were excited all the same. Olivia was really excited about being a big sister, and Dylan really was hoping for a little brother. When the big day came, Samuel Dominic was 7 lbs, 13 oz and 21 inches long. He was absolutely beautiful. He had bright blue eyes and very dark brown hair.Sam is one now and doing extremely well. He's taken a liking to playing with his older siblings. He likes to play with animals and cars and he absolutely LOVES dinosaurs.
Evan is fifteen now, and a sophomore in high school. Over last summer he grew almost 3 inches and he officially passed me up, height-wise. Evan just got his report card and got all A's and one B. He was kind of upset about the B, but really is going to work harder next semester. He and his sisters are all in the band - Evan plays trumpet. He is also on the bowling team, the golf team, and the tennis team. Lately he has been talking a lot about this one girl - Bree that he has a crush on. Evan has been considering asking her out, but he is really shy and nervous about it. Annie and Gracie are actually really supportive to him. I'm glad the three are as close as they are, even in high school.Annie and Gracie are also doing very well. They are both straight-A students. They're in the band and are on the bowling and tennis teams. You will usually find them together even at school. They are both extremely excited about driving, and so is Evan. But overall, Annie and Gracie are doing very well and are excited about the year to come.Ben and Nick are doing well also. Ben is thirteen and in eighth grade and Nick is eleven and in sixth. Despite their age difference, Ben and Nick are actually really close. They both are on the basketball teams as well as the football teams. Ben is really excited about going to high school next year, but Nick is kind of upset, and is really going to miss being at the same school as Ben. Evan and I really hope that Ben and Nick grow up as close as they are now.Dylan and Lily are ten now and in fifth grade. They are identical twins, but they honestly, couldn't be more different. Dylan is extremely boyish. He loves cars, hard rock music, baseball, basketball, and football. Lily, on the other hand, is a total girly girl. She loves doing her hair and getting manicures and anything pink. Even though they argue almost constantly, they are surprisingly close and are almost always there for each other.Julia is seven now and in second grade. Olivia is five and just started kindergarten. Julia is a total girly girl just like Lily. Olivia isn't completely sure what she likes yet, being with girls all older than her, but we are pretty sure she'll find out soon. Olivia absolutely loves school and has had no trouble whatsoever making friends. Julia and Olivia really like playing with their new baby brother, Sammy, as well as playing with their older brothers and sisters.
