here comes the sun

July 2042 - Cyd Roseland is 39, Christa Roseland is 37, Charlie is 10, Connor is 5, Carrie is 2 (Michael Wilder is 10, Andrew Wilder is 8).

(Technically these are the ages as of August 2042, but I wanted to age up Connor and Carrie before I wrote the update.)

The Roseland family has lived in the same little farmhouse since Cyd and Christa got married, but with three kids the farmhouse can barely fit the family. Carrie's crib is in a corner of the living room, and Charlie and Connor share a tiny bedroom barely big enough for two beds.

April 2040 - Caroline and Charlie Wilder are 38, Riley is 15, Laura is 11, Michael is 7, Andrew is 5, Rose is 18 months.

After having five children, Caroline is no longer scared of childbirth. But Riley is pretty freaked out when her mom goes into labor.

how much is that doggie in the window?

May 2038 - Cyd Roseland is 34, Christa Roseland is 32, Charlie is 5, Connor is 1.

Things are pretty hectic at the Roseland house. The tiny farmhouse only has two bedrooms, so for now baby Connor sleeps in the living room.

happy birthday to you

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!

February 2033 - Cyd Roseland is 29, Christa Roseland is 27, Charlie is 12 months, Tommy Ottomas is 22.

Cyd and Christa had their first child last year, a son named Charlie. They live in a small farmhouse outside of Providence, not far from the Wilder's farm.
