On [DS1’s] first birthday, you found out you were pregnant again. [DS2] was always a very happy and optimistic person, and loved making people laugh. He wasn’t as athletic as his older brother, and spent most of his freetime reading instead. He decided early on he wanted to become a writer, and graduated college with an English degree with a minor in film studies. He worked as a substitute teacher to pay his bills, but most of his time was dedicated to writing the script for his own TV show. While substitute teaching, he meets a history teacher there, and they soon start dating. They date for 3 years before tying the knot, and then move to LA when [DS2]'s TV show was picked up by a network. He goes on to write and produce 3 successful TV shows, and wins 3 Emmys and 2 [name_u]Golden[/name_u] Globes in his career.

It was 3 years later when your next child was born, another boy. [DS3] was always a little bit more rebellious than his siblings, and preferred skateboarding to team sports. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though he was very intelligent, school didn’t interest him and he barely graduated high school. He was always very artistic, and decided to become a tattoo artist instead of going to college. You and [DH] tried to talk him into getting an art degree, but he had a natural talent for tattooing, and became well-known for his realistic portraits. He and his longtime girlfriend finally say “I do,” after 8 years of dating.

Your next child joined the family 4 years later, and you finally got the little girl you’d been hoping for. [DD1] was a very happy and kind-hearted child, and loved music from an early age. She begged for music lessons while she was growing up, and learned to play the guitar, piano and drums, while playing the saxophone in the high school marching band. She went to Belmont University to study music, and soon formed an all girl rock band named [name_f]Strawberry[/name_f] Wine, and while they have a lot of regional success, they can never really make it big. When [DD] and the drummer both get pregnant at the same time, they decide to dissolve the band. [DD] gets married to a fellow musician, and added 4 girls to the family.

She wanted to become a teacher, and after playing the [name_m]French[/name_m] Horn in the high school band, she decided she wanted to become a high school band director. She married her high school sweetheart, and they had 2 kids.

The last additions to the family came 3 years later, when you and [DH] were surprised with twin boys. [DS4] was athletic like his oldest brother, and [DS1] helped him learn how to swing a bat and pitch. [DS4] was the prankster of the house, and always had a wide circle of friends. He became a bit of a party-er in college, and his junior year, his on and off again girlfriend gets pregnant. He was heartbroken, when 11 months later, she skips town and leaves their 2 month old son in his care. You and [DH] agreed to help with the baby if he finished his degree. He buckled down and was able to graduate early with an architecture degree. He raised his son as a single father for 6 years, but then met his future wife at a kid’s birthday party. She was the mother of the birthday boy, and also a single mother. They date for 3 years before getting married, and having 2 kids of their own.

The baby of the family (6 minutes younger than [DS4]), [DS5] was naturally athletic, but he was always more interested in video games than sports. He was more free spirited than his brothers and sisters, and decided to travel the world before going to college. He graduated with a degree in video game design, and used his explorations as inspiration for an educational game in the style of [name_u]Carmen[/name_u] [name_m]Sandiego[/name_m], which becomes a best seller. He always wanted a big family like the one he grew up with, and starts adopting children with his partner.
