I've decided to start doing birth announcements to help keep track of what's going on in the neighborhood. I'm still deciding how to do them. Since I have three babies born in a four month period, I put all of them in the same update. We'll see if I keep grouping them like this, but I think this way is efficient but not too confusing.
ETA: Yay for bigger photos!
May 2037 - Cyd Roseland is 33, Christa Roseland is 31, Charlie is 4.
Even nine months pregnant, Christa spends a lot of time taking care of her garden. Of course she isn't expecting to go into labor in the middle of tending her tomatoes.
"Cyd!" she cries. "It's time!"
It's another boy with brown hair and brown eyes like his father and older brother. They name him Connor. Cyd wakes up Charlie and brings him downstairs to meet his little brother.
"Say hi, Charlie," his father says.
Charlie just yawns.

May 2037 - Benjamin Long is 45, Elizabeth Long is 39, Christopher and Margaret are 9.
Elizabeth thought her child bearing days were long past. But she gets pregnant again when she's 39 years old. They weren't expecting another child, but they're excited to be parents again.
It's a girl! Baby Charlotte has blond hair and dark blue eyes. Christopher and Margaret are so excited to meet their little sister.

August 2037 - Sheila and Tommy Ottomas are 26, Katie is 2.
Sheila gives birth to their second child late one night. It's a boy! They name him Sean. He has his father's brown hair and his mother's green eyes. Katie seems a little wary of this new person, but her parents hope she and her brother will get along.
