Wesley’s parents move in to help them with the four infants. [name_m]Kiefer[/name_m] and [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] are glad they bought such a large house, as it allows Wesley’s parents to have their own bedroom and bathroom.

[name_m]Kiefer[/name_m] and [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] make the difficult decision to move out of their huge house in the country, so the kids can attend a much better school in the city. They move into a large four-storey townhouse with six bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms. [name_m]Matteo[/name_m] and [name_m]Jay[/name_m] share one bedroom, [name_f]Lark[/name_f] and [name_f]Dove[/name_f] share another, [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] and [name_f]Willow[/name_f] share a third, and baby [name_f]Lola[/name_f] is in the nursery, leaving one spare bedroom for another child or for the grandparents when they come to visit.

The Serrano family adopts a dog! As there aren’t as many opportunities to play in nature in the city compared to the countryside, [name_m]Kiefer[/name_m] and [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] are hoping it will encourage the kids to spend more time outside. They adopt two-year-old Toffee the Saluki.

DW (25): [name_f]Imogen[/name] [name_f]Posey[/name] (MN: Weiss)
DH (25): [name_m]Oliver[/name] [name_m]Miles[/name]

Year 1: [name_f]Imogen[/name] and [name_m]Oliver[/name] (both 25) become foster parents to [name_m]Oliver[/name]'s sister’s child, a 12-year-old nonbinary pre-teen, [name_u]Haze[/name] [name_f]Eleanor[/name] Hopkins.

Year 2: [name_f]Imogen[/name], [name_m]Oliver[/name], and [name_u]Haze[/name] move to a big house in the suburbs with 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. [name_f]Imogen[/name] and [name_m]Oliver[/name] turn 26, and [name_u]Haze[/name] turns 13.

Year 3: [name_f]Imogen[/name] and [name_m]Oliver[/name] have a baby boy! They name him [name_m]Christopher[/name] [name_m]Paul[/name] Kemp, and 14-year-old [name_u]Haze[/name] loves helping with their sibling. [name_f]Imogen[/name] and [name_m]Oliver[/name] turn 27.

Year 4: The family buys a 15-passenger van. [name_f]Imogen[/name] and [name_m]Oliver[/name] turn 28, [name_u]Haze[/name] turns 15, and [name_m]Christopher[/name] turns 1.

Year 5: After struggling with fertility issues, [name_f]Imogen[/name] and [name_m]Oliver[/name] (both 29) try IVF treatment – and are wildly successful, bringing home quadruplets: [name_f]Selah[/name] [name_f]Grace[/name], [name_f]Fiona[/name] [name_f]Faith[/name], [name_m]Samuel[/name] [name_m]Levi[/name], and [name_m]Matthew[/name] [name_m]Douglas[/name]. [name_u]Haze[/name] turns 16, and [name_m]Christopher[/name] turns 2. That 15-passenger van is coming in handy!

Year 6: The Kemps go on vacation to sunny California, where 17-year-old [name_u]Haze[/name] is touring colleges. [name_f]Imogen[/name] and [name_m]Oliver[/name] turn 30, [name_m]Christopher[/name] turns 3, and the quads turn 1.

Year 7: [name_u]Haze[/name] turns 18 and heads off to college, and the Kemps adopt 2 chinchillas, whom they name Pecan and Sweetgum. [name_f]Imogen[/name] and [name_m]Oliver[/name] turn 31, [name_m]Christopher[/name] turns 4, and the quads turn 2. Although [name_u]Haze[/name] is no longer the Kemps’ foster child, they are still part of the family.

Year 8: [name_f]Imogen[/name] and [name_m]Oliver[/name] (both 32) adopt [name_u]Haze[/name]'s 6-year-old half brother, [name_m]Liam[/name] [name_m]James[/name]. [name_u]Haze[/name] turns 19, [name_m]Christopher[/name] turns 5, and the quads turn 3. The chinchillas turn 1.

The chinchillas turn 2.

Year 10: [name_f]Imogen[/name] and [name_m]Oliver[/name] (both 34) decide to grow their family again, this time adopting 2 girls from Japan. 7-year-old [name_f]Atsuko[/name] and 6-year-old [name_f]Hitomi[/name] were best friends in the orphanage they grew up in, and they’re so excited to be sisters. The Kemps keep the girls’ Japanese first names and add middle names to reflect their Christmastime adoption ([name_f]Atsuko[/name] [name_f]Neve[/name] and [name_f]Hitomi[/name] [name_f]Noelle[/name]). The girls are known by both their birth names and English nicknames they chose, [name_f]Rose[/name] for [name_f]Atsuko[/name] and [name_f]Lily[/name] for [name_f]Hitomi[/name]. [name_u]Haze[/name] turns 21, [name_m]Liam[/name] turns 8, [name_m]Christopher[/name] turns 7, and the quads turn 5. The chinchillas turn 3.

Year 11: [name_m]Oliver[/name] gets offered a job as a creative director at a multinational advertising firm based in San Diego, California.

Year 16: After long, happy lives, Pecan and Sweetgum pass away peacefully and the Kemps decide to adopt 1 puppy and 1 kitten as their next pets. [name_m]Tarzan[/name] is a German Shepherd/Great Dane mix, and [name_f]Jane[/name] is a short-haired black cat. (Little [name_f]Laura[/name] loves that the kitty shares her middle name!) [name_m]Tarzan[/name] and [name_f]Jane[/name] are the best of friends, despite their size difference.
