Living with Evan has been mostly wonderful.

Hope and Nathan are 8 and 9 now and they are nearly constantly at each other's throats.
Hope really likes the new house, and having her very own bedroom in the new house. Her parents even let her pick out most of the furniture and decorations for it, so it's very much her room. But she's missing sharing a room with her older brother Nathan. Just a little bit.

I really would have liked to have been more involved in planning our wedding but in the end, I told Caleb that if we wanted to get married sometime in the next three years, he was going to have to take on the bulk of it. I'm so grateful that he was willing to!
Emil has been using all his charm on Anna lately, in an effort to convince her to have just one more baby.

Emil and I won $4000 in the lottery recently and we put it towards installing a pool in the backyard. It's small but it's a good place for me to get away from Maria for half an hour or so. She drives me up the wall.
It's just past 6am and Anna has just slammed the lid onto the rubbish bin when she feels the familiar pangs of contractions.

After I left Abigail, I moved back to Sullivan into a little unit in a triplex. It's really small but I've managed to make it comfortable enough for myself, even though money is definitely tight on the crappy salary I'm earning right now.
My brother David came over for dinner a couple of weeks ago, with his new wife Kirstin. Mum was thrilled. I think she'd like to have the whole family over at the same time, but we have a pretty huge family and it's not possible very often.

To appease my mother-in-law, I'm still job-hunting, even though I've kind of lost interest in the process. There's nothing out there, for one thing, but I also really like being home all day.
David and Tatiana are both working hard to graduate. There are more term papers and assignments and a lot more preparation to do before them.

I can't believe I've been reduced to this. Digging holes in the ground looking for random crap I can sell, just so I can afford the first week's rent and security deposit for an apartment. When did my life start to suck so much?
My mum is pregnant. Again. With twins. Again. For most people, three kids and extremely tight finances would be enough but my mother wants five.
We've had a new influx of students at school this round and a lot of them seem rather feisty.
I'm alone for the meantime but my family comes over to visit a lot. Arianna came for lunch the other afternoon.
