(Pamela is 45, Jacob and Claudia are both 29, Dominic is 20, Audrey is 18 and Lucy is 15)

For the last several months or so, Mum hasn't really been herself. I guess it happens a lot with people her age but she was always so vibrant. It's been hard to watch her suddenly completely lose track of a conversation.

(Arianna is 74, Liam is 66, Claudia is 28, Nathan is 19 and Julia is 18)

Narrated by Jacob Weaver

Narrated by Audrey Lachance

When I broke up with Charlie last year, I did so knowing it might make things awkward between us. I just really thought it was for the best though, so I thought about it for a long time and then finally just did it.

(Malcolm is 16, Julia and Hope are both 15 and Charlie and Jack are both 14)

Narrated by Dominic Lachance

Audrey's friend Jack just started dating Julia Gray and I think Audrey would like to believe this means he's not interested in her any more.

He still seems pretty interested to me. I'm supposed to keep an eye on Charlie and Audrey while they're over here and Jack barely takes his eyes off Audrey, even when Julia's standing right in front of him.

(Jesse is 39, Hope is 13 and Charlie and Jack are 12)

Narrated by Audrey Lachance

Mum has always been a bit of a tomboy, so she was surprised when I said I wanted to take up ballet. I've always been interested in it in the back of my mind - Grandpa used to dance when he was much younger, so I guess I sort of picked it up from him. I've been practising a lot this year.

(Arianna Weaver is 66, Nick Moretti is 18)

Anna is never quite sure what to do when people are blubbering. She could comfort them but it feels so insincere when she does it. Even when her own sister was going through her separation, she was always at a loss for what to say.

Narrated by Trent Kirby

Not long before Mum died, we made plans to drive up to the university and meet our new grandson. Victoria called Megan and specifically requested that she come. Megan really didn't take Victoria and Finn's news very well and they didn't speak much during her pregnancy.

Narrated by Jonas Lachance

Tatiana is now the principal of Sullivan Primary School, which the whole family is really proud of, no one more than Tatiana herself. Her grandmother was the principal of the high school, back when Tatiana and I were there, and I think it's always been a goal of hers to get to that level one day.

Spring time in Sullivan has always meant love and Liam and Arianna have definitely been overtaken by the spirit of romance this season. They haven't been very effective babysitters for Jonas and Tatiana lately because they've been out on date after date after date.

Narrated by Caterina Nihill

I must be crazy because instead of enjoying a quiet afternoon reading, I let Olivia invite some kids over instead. Her friends Asha and Lia came along. In turn, Lia brought her sister Maia, who brought her friend (and my nephew) Jacob. It was a mad house.
