I'm having a really crappy time this spring. I've been plagued by acne, first of all. As soon it one breakout clears, another one arrives the next day.

Narrated by Aaron Novak

Grandma got in a car accident the other week and she's on doctor's orders to rest up. She's got a cast on her arm and has a lot of bruising, so she's supposed to be taking it easy but Grandpa keeps catching her trying to take the garbage out, or exercise. Anything she's not supposed to do.

When Aaron and Ethan were younger, they were very close but once Aaron started high school, they didn't hang out together quite as much. Now that Ethan had joined him, they were once again best buddies.

Narrated by Aaron Novak

Dad running Lost Generation didn't last long - he's already sold it. I'm pretty excited about that because it means I can actually hang out there now. Who wants to hang out at a club their dad owns?

Forever

(Zelda is 39 and Troy is 11)

Zelda finally had a couple of hours away from her kids to come and see me. Despite how busy she is these days (after an adoption and a surprise pregnancy), she just loves having a big family.

A case of you

Round 20: Summer 2012


Charlton and Aphrodite Nihill are both 67, Madelyn is 32, James Novak is 37, Aaron is 9 and Ethan is 6.
(Augustin and Hanna are both 57, Naomi is 37, Owen is 35, Anna Collins is 34, Kirstin is 28, Adrienne is 5 and Malcolm is 2.)

Narrated by James Novak

Madelyn and I have been together for almost 15 years now. We never got around to getting married and have been pretty happy without it but lately, I've been feeling that marrying Madelyn is something I really need to do. I guess ever since Naomi and Owen got married, something has been stirring in me.

Narrated by Madelyn Nihill

It's the beginning of Spring here in Sullivan but it's still freezing! There's still snow on the ground and even a short trip outside to take out the recycling requires many layers of clothing!

Heaven's never letting me in

Round 18: Days 86-90

Narrated by Madelyn Nihill

We were all feeling a little cramped in the triplex so James and I started looking into buying a house. We found a great one not far from our old place and we moved in as soon as we could. Aaron loves it already. The floor of his nursery is covered with toys.

Pitseleh

Round 17: Days 81-85

Narrated by Ben Nihill

One of the reasons that Caterina and I moved our family back to Sullivan was to be closer to our families, including my sister Collette. So after all that, the only time I've seen Collette since we came back was when Caterina yelled at her for stealing our paper the other morning. My sister's a little strange sometimes.

No room to bleed

Narrated by Madelyn Nihill

I'm sure my parents are sick of seeing me and James all over each other every time they enter the living room.

Narrated by Madelyn Nihill

So Abhijeet Turner quit Mum's business. His cooking skills had improved but she hadn't given him a raise, so he got fed up and got out of there.

Carrying Cathy

Round 15: Day 71-75

Narrated by Aphrodite Nihill

Charlton has finally got himself up to a more respectable position in the music industry. It's still a little embarrassing to tell people my 48-year-old husband is a summer camp music teacher but it's better than coffee shop sound engineer.

Morpha too

Round 14: Days 66-70


Narrated by Charlton Nihill

Madelyn didn't really know my Dad all that well, so it sort of surprised me that she was so upset when he died.

Take me down

Round 13: Days 61-65


Narrated by Araminta Benton.

I wouldn't say this week had been the most exciting week ever. The sky has been grey almost every single day and it is so depressing. I miss summer - it's so far away.

Rudie can't fail

Round 13: Days 61-65

Charlton got this round off to a bad start by being promoted to personal injury attorney and then promptly getting fired.

Kids

Round 13: Days 61-65

After getting engaged, Collette and Julian wasted no time getting married. Julian moved into the Nihills' house in the morning and they were married by the afternoon.

Get it

Round 12: Days 56-60
Charlton and Aphrodite were still living together but with their work hours diverging more and more often, they hadn't spent much time together recently. Aphrodite slept during the day and Charlton occupied his time at the various recreational venues in Sullivan and its surrounds.

Catch the sun

Round 11: Days 51-55

Charlton, his twin sister Collette and his girlfriend Aphrodite have graduated college and moved into a duplex (or triplex maybe, as there are three units) in Sullivan.

Collette was a bit bummed that the closest thing she had to a boyfriend was Galen. Watching her brother act coupley all the time with Aphrodite got really old but she had to grin and bear it.
