Dancing in the moonlight

Round 17: April 2027

Nyah Marlowe is 41, Thomas is 40, Skye is 15, Jett and Kyra are 13 and Lina is 11.

(Iona is 15.)

Narrated by Jett

Skye has a real job now because grandma gave her a job in her lab. She mainly cleans up the place and assists grandma's assistant researcher and I'm insanely jealous. I'm the only of us kids who's interested in science so I should be the one working there. Skye having a job also means that more of the household chores fall on to me and Kyra. It's not too bad, just cleaning the house once a week and cooking a meal here and there. The only thing I just barely manage is mac & cheese but no-one's complained so far.

Heart of gold

Round 16: January 2025

Nyah Marlowe is 39, Thomas is 38, Skye is 13, Kyra and Jett are 11 and Lina is 9.

(Iona and Todd are 13.)

Narrated by Skye.

I should have known that mom would interrogate me about Todd after Mrs Lind saw us kissing when we were waiting for the bus after school. I told her that we've kissed a few times but we're not officially dating or anything. I know mom's pretty cool when it comes to boys but it's dad's reaction that I'm worried about.

It's not like I haven't been out with Todd before but it's always been a group of friends going bowling or just hanging out at Generation X. Todd's really nice and sometimes I'd like to hang out with just him.

Wonderful life

Narrated by Nyah Marlowe

We've been trying to spend even more time with the kids than usual since Ethan's death in August.It was such a shock for everyone but it's especially hard for the children to understand how a young person could die so suddenly.

Weekdays are usually pretty crazy in our houses. The kids bring their friends over from school almost every day so there's not a quiet moment there.

(Tom is 26, Charlie is 25 and Stephen is 18.)

Narrated by Thomas Marlowe

It can be quite challenging to run a household with four kids. Especially mornings can be quite chaotic but we've come up with a working routine. I usually wake up the kids and help them get dressed while Nyah makes breakfast. Then we all sit down to eat. The kids get to the school bus and I go to work.

Shape of my heart

Round 11: Summer 2015


Nyah Marlowe is 29, Thomas is 28, Skye is 3 and Jett and Kyra are 1.
(Vicki is 64.)

Narrated by Nyah Marlowe

Life seems pretty hectic and insane at the moment. Having three toddlers in the house means chaos and disorder! The twins are impossible when it's time to eat. Kyra always steals the bottle from Jett even though she has her own - I guess the formula tastes better when you've stolen it. And then Jett of course cries his little butt off. Skye acts like the big sister and waits for her turn patiently.

In the sky
