Thought it might be nice to make a fresh story format CAF since everyone seems to be enjoying them right now. Provide as much or as little detail as you'd like. And if you want to roll more than once per year to choose more events to happen to your family, feel free to do that too! The genders and ages of the main couple and their families are up to you. (DP = Darling Parent, DC = Darling Child)

 

Here is your dice

 

And here are several Nameberry lists where you can pick your characters' and children's names:

Karina Christine's Family

LN: Williams

 

DP: Donald Matias

DP: Julia Esther

 

 

Sergio Jase's Family

LN: Booker

 

DP: Nicolas Matteo

DP: Angelique Whitney

 

 

~*~*~*~

 

Year 1

 

Sergio and Karina were so happy. They'd been dating since their junior year of high school, and Karina had just finished college while Sergio had just finished culinary school. The couple decided to get married at Karina's childhood church. They couldn't be happier to be Mr. and Mrs. Sergio Booker!

 

Year 2

 

Since they don't have that much money, Sergio and Karina decide to buy a house with Sergio's best friend, Simon. Sergio suspects Karina of cheating on him with Simon, but after further investigation, finds that he was just paranoid and nothing has been going on.

 

 

Year 3

 

Karina loves animals, and finally convinces Sergio to adopt a cat, which they name Custard. Custard is an old, mangy grey cat, which Sergio hates but Karina adores. Karina's younger sister, Keira, gets married to her boyfriend Leon. They have a destination wedding in Sicily, and both Karina and Sergio enjoy the trip.

 

 

Year 4

 

One morning, Karina isn't feeling well and goes to the doctor. To her surprise, she is pregnant! The couple didn't want to have kids while still living with Simon, but they talk it out and agree that this will be best for them, as Simon is excited to help out and be an uncle. On October 11th, Karina gives birth to their son, Killian Ryan Booker.

 

Year 5 

 

Sergio's father, Nicolas, suffers a stroke. Unfortunately, he does not survive and passes away at age 73. Sergio is rightfully heartbroken, and the family moves in with Sergio's mom, Angelique, to help the healing process.

 

Year 6

 

Much to the couple's surprise, Karina is pregnant again! Angelique is overjoyed to have more babies to look after. On January 9th, Karina gives birth to triplets: Layla Janae Booker, Braxton Kayde Booker, and Chrissy Virginia Booker. The couple decides that they need a bigger house, so they move out of Angelique's house and buy a 4 bedroom house near the restaurant where Sergio works.

 

 

Year 7

 

After much begging from Killian, the family decides to adopt another pet! This time, they adopt an orange kitten named Oliver. He has a ton of energy and the kids love him! Karina and Sergio also decide to get matching heart tattoos to celebrate their 7th year anniversary.

 

 

Year 8

 

After months of trying, Karina and Sergio are delighted to find out that they're pregnant with their fifth child! On February 24th, Victor Emmanuel Booker is born to the couple. A few days after Victor is born, Layla jumps off of her bed and fractures her leg in three different places. Doctors are able to set it, but Karina is afraid that it will hinder her walking progress.

 

 

Year 9

 

Karina decides to start a blog: Mommy of Triplets. On this blog, she talks about her daily life with triplets and helps other moms of multiples learn how to take care of so many at once!

 

Year 10

 

After 10 years of marriage, the couple is so happy! Karina wasn't even sure she wanted kids in the first place, so ending up with 5 is a big surprise! However, the couple love all of their children dearly, and are considering adopting more children in the future. 

 

Karina Christine Booker (39)

Sergio Jase Booker (39)

Killian Ryan Booker (6)

Layla Janae Booker (4)

Braxton Kayde Booker (4)

Chrissy Virginia Booker (4)

Victor Emmanuel Booker (2)

DD Evelyn Linny Esme

~Year 5~

8 months after adopting Harrison, the couple finds out that 5 day old twins were left at their local hospital and as they are still on the list, they get a call to foster them as no next of kin was found. By the end of the year the couple couldn't imagine giving the babies up and decide to officially adopt them!

Bea, who was previously an administrator at a local high school, decided to pursue a career in psychology in the hopes of returning to her school as a counsellor. Life continues to be busy, but wonderful!
