Liliana 'Lilia' Maria Ivanwic (36) is the wife of Sam, and sister-in-law of Meredith. She met Sam when he was 19 and she was 15, and the pair soon became best friends. It took them five years to discover that their feelings for each other went deeper, and Lilia was happy when Sam asked her to be his girlfriend. They married ten years ago, and have two children together. Lilia works as a model and photographer, and runs her own family photography business. She adores her job, and she loves being a mum too. She'd love to have another baby, but the couple had to have help to conceive the two children they already have, and so she knows that another baby is almost impossible. She's thinking of bringing up adoption, and is hoping that Sam will be receptive to the idea.
Carter Samuel Ivanwic (5) is the oldest child of Sam and Lilia, nephew of Meredith, and older brother to a two year old girl. Carter is an outgoing, happy child, who loves to be outside and be active. He's a helpful big brother, and likes to spend time with his little sister playing games.
Caitlin Maria Ivanwic (2) is the younger sister of Carter, daughter of Sam and Lilia, and niece of Meredith. Caitlin is a happy child, but she's a little shy at times. She enjoys being her mama's model, and loves to try on new clothes and pose for pictures. She adores her big brother, and loves spending time with him playing outside, or playing board games.
