Lombardi- The talented, the shy, the mob boss, and the black sheep.

The Lombardi children have been experimenting in music lately, under the influence of their very musical mother. Alexia Jane seems to have a knack for singing, while Connor likes to play the piano. TJ, ever the black sheep, does not participate in music. Instead he focuses on other things...like cheating on his long time girlfriend Melanie.

Mary is visited by members of her mob at all hours of the night. They've been working their hardest on recruiting new members from all walks of life. Mary is an equal opporotunity employer, and is a believer in 2nd chances...as long as you are willing to do whatever it takes to get a second chance.

Connor is a bright and quiet boy. He doesn't have any friends besides his lovely older sister. Wherever she goes, he goes. Unless of course she's going somewhere while he plays his piano.

TJ takes his younger brother and sister to the park one day. Mary of course was suspicious, but Lindi defended her eldest son, saying he loved his siblings and wanted to do something nice for them. While TJ does love his brother and sister, he knew Mary wouldn't let him leave the house to go meet a "friend" of his...Melanie comes from good money, and is an orphan, meaning her whole fortune will belong to the Lombardi's when they marry. Mary is not willing to risk that fortune on her grandson'n escapades.

Lindi should start getting suspicious of her eldest child. He is uncontrollable...you never know what kind of trouble he could get into. Mary is glad he will be leaving for college in just a few short years and she won't have to keep a constant watch on him. In some ways she wishes she could go along, to make sure he stays away from one of his latest "friends", the very young Lauren Appleberry....

Martin- New move, boring lives

Daniel has been helping out at the flower shop lately. He's the only kid to take an interest in it so far so naturally, his grandparents make him help out. He's great at selling things. Sylvie, his grandmother, thinks he has a way with words. Well, whatever it is it doesn't look like Kai Cho is buying it!


The Martins moved to a really nice apartment this past year. Even with new surroundings though, Jade can't seem to get over her mother's death. I was just over a year and a half ago now, today would've been her mother's birthday.

Jade has been making progress, and she even was feeling happy enough to have a birthday party! That's right folks, little Jade has grown up into a lovely young woman! She has dreams of being the best reporter in Purity Creek! Or Vanity Ravine...or Bluewater! She can't make up her mind where she wants to live quite yet, but she knows that wherever she is she wants lots and lots of friends.

Appleberry- Very busy people

A very busy season for the Appleberry family. May was busy setting fires in her brand new kitchen! She loves cooking, but she really shouldn't quit her day job.

Kirsti and Nathan hace been spending time together a lot lately. Lauren is usually off somewhere else, writing in her diary or playing with her mom's dress up clothes and make up. Kirsti and Nathan don't really mind though. They like their sister, but she talks too much on occasion. Nathan and Lauren have a birthday coming up. Nathan is very excited.

Matthew gets a part time job to help pay the house bills. The toy store has been doing okay lately, but with the move the Appleberrys need all the money they can get.

May decides she'd better learn to cook! She can't keep setting the kitchen on fire. Unfortunately all she can think about while trying to study is making out with Ivan. Focus May!

Baby Christian is getting bigger! He's got red hair like his grandfather did and he loves playing with the toys his momma makes for him. Even Mr. Brick.

Nathan and Lauren got bigger too! Turning 13 is a big deal around here. Nathan decides he wants lots and lots of money in his life, and he wants to be a great business man someday. He doesn't know what his business will be, but whatever it is he'll be great at selling it!

Lauren is a very pretty girl. She thinks she looks a little square right now, but as soon as she can she'll be fixing her hair and buying makeup. Lauren decides she's a romance kind of girl. Lauren apparently really liked pretending and dressing up as a little kid because she never wants to stop! Lauren has dreams of being a famous actress one day! Her parents aren't sure why they need to send her to college for that, but oh well. At least its an experience...right?

Sorry about not having any baby pictures for Chris! My bad! Sorry!
