All these years

 Round 17: June 2028

Ryland and Jackie Whitfield are 77, Rianna Midlock is 58, Anthony is 54 and Jesse is 15.

(Ross is 17.)

Narrated by Jesse

Grandma and grandpa moved in with us a few weeks ago. Mom and aunt Denise were starting to worry about them living on their own because they are kinda old. Denise's house is full of kids, Dawn and Finn live in a really small house and Zach lives in a tiny apartment so our house was the natural choice since Emily and Sara are at college. It's been nice having them here. Despite being old they're pretty cool about everything - even though I could probably live without seeing them kiss each other all the time.

Happy Birthday, June 2028

It's another girl for Malia and Greg Newman!

Round 17: May 2028

Toby Parker is 36, Erin is 33, Naomi is 5, Matthew is 2 weeks and Iona Fielding is 16.

Narrated by Toby.

Matthew was born just a couple of weeks ago. I don't think I've ever been so anxious as I was during Erin's pregnancy. The miscarriage before really did a number on us both. I'm so happy that Matthew is here, he's healthy and we can finally breathe a sigh of relief and just enjoy this precious time.

Happy Birthday, May 2028

Eve and Gabriel have just met with Dr Williams and have gotten the first glimpse of their baby on the ultrasound. They weren't actively trying to get pregnant but they weren't exactly actively trying not to get pregnant either. They both agree that it's nice that Drake and his sibling - who is due in November - won't have a huge age difference. They also agree that it's time to really start looking for a house because the apartment is getting a bit small for them with the addition of another baby.

You are the sunshine of my life

 Round 17: April 2028

Stephen Marlowe and Kaitlyn Brennan are 27.

Narrated by Stephen.

Kaitlyn is busier than ever with her fourth and last year of doctorate studies so we try to make the most of the little free time we actually get to spend together. One of our favourite things to do is walk to the park nearby and sit on the bench and talk.

Round 17: April 2028

Jack Robinson is 45, Paige is 44, Todd is 16, Emma is 7 and Beck is 2.
(Skye is 16.)

Narrated by Todd

Last year my parents told me that I'd have to either get a job or start helping on the farm since I was already 15. I gladly chose working on the farm instead of trying to get a job elsewhere. I don't mind actually. I mean it's a lot of hard work but it's kind of cool to think that we grow food for our own family and probably at least like half the town as well. Dad and I usually go over some farm stuff during dinner so I know what I'm supposed to do after school the next day.

Round 17: March 2028

Sara Midlock is 19 and Riley Cooper is 18.

Narrated by Riley.

Apparently there was a mix-up thanks to my unisex name and my student info said I was a female... so naturally I was also assigned a female room mate. It was a pretty awkward first couple of weeks. I ended up sleeping on the floor of Sara's room most nights so my room mate could have the room for herself. Luckily they were able to correct the situation pretty quickly. While I was okay with the thought of having a room mate, I got to say I'm happy I have my own room now.
