Happy Birthday, March 2027

Dixie's pregnancy has advanced to third trimester. Liana can't wait for the baby to arrive. She's hoping for a little brother since she already has a little sister. She's a bit disappointed when her mom explains to her that they can't really choose whether it's a boy or a girl.

Liana still wants to know everything about babies and where they come from. Dixie tries to distract her by reading her a book but the questions are neverending. Finally Dixie tells Liana to ask her dad because she's running out of things to say.


Notes:

• Just a little birthday update. The baby is due in June 2027 so Dixie and Tom still have a lot of time to answer all of Liana's questions, LOL.

Happy Birthday, January 2027

Let's see our birthday boys and girls!

Liana Patterson celebrates her 4th birthday...

... as does Naomi Parker. The girls still have one year of freedom before starting pre-school.

How long will I love you

Round 16: June 2026

Tom Patterson is 33, Dixie is 32, Liana is 3 and Janelle is 1.

(Janie is 32.)

Narrated by Dixie.

Tom and I decided it's about time to take a little vacation - just the two of us. On our honeymoon we just drove up to my parents' cabin for a couple of days but this time we decided we needed a change of scenery so we booked flights and a room in a fancy hotel at Shirakawa Village.

Happy Birthday, February 2025

Dixie and Tom are leaving for hospital right after Dixie's sister Janie comes to babysit their 2-year-old daughter Liana. Their second child is ready to arrive!

Happy Birthday, November 2024

Dixie Patterson has come to the maternity ward for her third trimester checkup. Her husband Tom and their 1-year-old daughter Liana joined her hoping to see glimpse of the baby in the ultrasound.

Happy Birthday, August 2024

Liana Patterson turns 1 in August.

Lucky now

Round 15: April 2024

Tom Patterson is 31, Dixie is 30 and Liana is 8 months.

(Alexander and Bobbie are 73.)

Narrated by Tom Patterson.

I'm a stay-at-home dad now. Dixie stayed home with Liana for the first 6 months and now it's my turn. We'll most likely put her in day care after her birthday but for now it's been really great spending so much time with her and getting to know her.

Slow

Round 15: January 2024

Janie Greene is 30, Danny Cooper is 28, Bridget Greene-Cooper is 6, Lucas is 5 and Molly is 3.

(Dixie is 30 and Liana is 5 months.)

Narrated by Janie Greene.

My bosses seem to have lost their minds because they offered me a new position as Executive. Growing up it was always my dream to be an executive by the time I was 30 but my goals have changed so much since Danny and I started a family. I had mixed feelings about the promotion because I was afraid it would mean less time for my children but I was assured that I could work regular hours and do some extra work at home when needed. The extra money is very welcome so obviously I accepted the offer.

Happy Birthday, August 2023

Malia and Greg Newman found out about Malia's pregnancy a couple of months ago. They're really excited about the baby but nobody is probably as excited as Greg's 11-year-old daughter Iona who can't wait to become a big sister for the second time within a few months.
