Stratton (6)

I really should have kept this up better. I'm sorry, everyone. This is just a large dump post on all that's happened since we last met with the Stratton's.

We left off last time with Karly pregnant and in labor (again, darn it woman!) That brought the birth of a baby boy, Keenan Lancaster. Keenan is now a teen, yes, it's been that long!

Zachary has aged to elder, Karly hasn't joined him yet. Kaitlynn is going to miss her mom and dad when their time comes, so she's spending any minute she's not working with her children and parents playing games, having family meals, and loading them down with more bonding time than Zachary and Karly ever wanted.

This brings us to our next heir, Kaitlynn and her relationship with Ryker. They both aged to young adult and their relationship progressed quickly from there. They're now married, with three (yes, just when I thought we'd stop with the surprise babies, Kaitlynn followed suit) children.

The first born is a surprise, mainly because it's something I've been waiting on for so long, so we'll get to the heir at the end of this installment. I want you to meet baby number 2 first. Ryland Marcum.

 And then come baby number 3, Gemma Marcum. She's still an infant!

And now, what we've all been waiting for, our heir! Meet our FIRST MALE heir! It took FOUR generations to bring us a male heir, but we DID IT!Meet Connor Marcum

And with our first male heir, brings us to his first friend, and hopefully his wife and mother of his CHILD (yes, Connor, CHILD....please, please don't do what your great-great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother have done and surprise us with extra children). Little Miss Amy Lee.
