Nope, there wouldn't be a Jordan if Nikhil had lived.  And Gavin would have turned out more wild, too.

In the original story line for the family Gavin was going to die in his teen years.  Isaiah was going to be a huge drug addict, and was going to drag Gavin down with him, but he would live.  Nikhil was going to be the good child, the one that Chris ended up loving more, Chris was going to start ignoring Gavin, and eventually I had planned a nasty divorce between Gabrielle and him.

Nathan ignoring Isaiah was all part of the original story line and was the reason why Isaiah would turn to drugs, which was also why Isaiah looked all Punk-Rock when he hit his teen years.  But, when I saw how sickly Nikhil looked, the story line changed.  I'm at a loss right now with what to do next with the family, but I have a few pictures taken for the next update already; so we'll see Smile

O;
I'm glad the story went the way it did,
The original plot sounds... dark xD

Here's a pic from the next update, it's just too cute to not share now!

And yeah, lol it was kind of Dark, but believe me there would have been a lot of good things, too.  Especially for Nikhil if the original story line had played out.  Ah well Smile  The twist and the way it is now is actually a lot better, I think.

Dear Journal,

Time passes so quick, especially when you have grandchildren running around!  But they're so worth it.

I have a couple pictures of Jonah I want to paste here, first off.  This is Jonah on his 3rd birthday, in the kitchen and in bed, fast asleep.

[Image: 157.jpg]


Not long after his 3rd birthday, Gavin and Trista announced they were pregnant again!  I was thrilled!  And, it was a double surprise.  The next day I got a letter in the mail from Jordan and isaiah; they were pregnant too!

Jordan was further along, so their baby, a little girl they named Michelle, arrived first.  I was so thrilled when I got the picture of Jordan holding her own little girl.

[Image: 160.jpg]


The next week I went over to meet her.  She was so beautiful!  And much bigger than poor Jonah had been.  Even now he's far below the height he should be for his age.

[Image: 161.jpg]


Gavin is such a good father, he just loved to sit and play with Jonah.  And naturally, I enjoyed taking pictures of them playing together!

[Image: 162.jpg]


One day after getting the mail, I heard a scream coming from the living room, so I ran in.  And there they were, Trista in labor and Gavin with his camera yet again!  That boy takes after me I think, haha.

[Image: 163.jpg]


They had a little girl as well, who they named Jediera; a very ... different name.  But, it's grown on me!  I took this picture the day we brought her home from the hospital.

[Image: 164.jpg]


They're growing up so fast.  The first day of school for Jonah was hard, though.  Because he was so much smaller than the students in his classroom, they liked to pick on him.  He eventually started throwing punches, which got him suspended for a day and a half.  Gavin grounded him for a week.  I felt bad, but he does need to learn that violence doesn't make anything better.

[Image: 165.jpg]


Like her brother, Jediera, or Jedi* as we call her for short, was a tiny baby.  But, the Doctors say it is very unlikely that she'll suffer the same growing problems as her brother.  Which makes all of us, including poor Jonah, happy.  He hates being so short, and he hates being picked on for it.  If we could afford it, I'd gladly home school the boy, but my retirement money even with his parents working full time simply isn't enough.  It'll be cheaper to try to get him and his sister into Private School, really.

[Image: 166.jpg]


[Image: 167.jpg]


And wouldn't you know it?  Despite his height issues, Jonah is a mini version of his father!  The only friends he brings home from school .. are girls!

[Image: 168.jpg]


This is one of my favorite pictures of Trista and Jedi.

[Image: 169.jpg]


A few years later, one afternoon after putting Jedi down for her nap, I heard Gavin and Trista yelling.  And the things they were saying were absolutely horrid!  I wasn't even down the stairs and I could hear them clear as day.  I stormed into the room, certain I was going to need to break up a fight.

As it turns out ... they were playing a video game, and Gavin was winning ... I slapped them both across the back of their heads, they had me so worried that something was seriously wrong with their marriage!

[Image: 170.jpg]


I have a couple pictures of Jedi on her 3rd birthday, too.  Again, sitting on the kitchen floor (what is it with kids and insisting to live in the kitchen?  Or is it just mine?) and one of Gavin holding her.

[Image: 171.jpg]


[Image: 172.jpg]

With age comes health problems.  And naturally, my Doctor wanted to put me on a healthier life style.  So, Gavin and I agreed to work out together at night.  Trista joined a Gym, so did her workouts in private; something about not needing her husband to see her look like an idiot in a sweat suit.

[Image: 173.jpg]


And, as I said.  Time goes by so fast.  Jediera is in school now, too.  And despite being 3 and a half years older than her, Jonah isn't much taller!  But they get along just fine, and spend a lot of time studying together when they're not pulling each others hair, or kicking the back of each others chairs, or flicking food at each other from across the table ... kids will be kids, I suppose!

[Image: 174.jpg]


[Image: 175.jpg]


They'll be entering into their pre-teen years soon, and I almost dread those days.  Almost.  With any luck, they won't be too wild and crazy.  With any luck ...


* Jedi is pronounced like Jenny — Jediera is sounded out as such:
Jedi-air-uh

Jediera, wow, what a very different name.

Like how is that pronounced?  Is it Jedi-era or Je-di-era?

The kids are so adorable, and the video game incident reminds me of what goes on in my house.

My brother and his friends would start yelling and cussing at each other, saying the worst things, over a game, but in the end, all of that bad stuff doesn't matter to them.

Gawsh, your kdis are so cute!
Jediera, that's a really cool name! =D

That was a great entry!

And the pronunciation is at the bottom
