Sorted.

Father's Name: Charlie Green
Age: 39
Location: Pleasantview

"I'm a college professor and single dad raising my twin daughters, Lizzy and Hannah. The girls and I have been on our own since my wife left our family seven years ago, and the three of us are very close. Lizzy and Hannah can talk to me about anything, including their mom and other tough issues, but I'm worried that that'll change as they get older. What's most important to me is their happiness and health, but I would love to keep our relationships strong as they become teenagers and young adults."



Offspring's Name: Elizabeth Green
Age: 10

"I'm Lizzy. I'm pretty shy, unlike my sister, but I can be silly with people I know well. I like to read and draw pictures."



Offspring's Name: Hannah Green
Age: 10

"Hi, I'm Hannah! My favorite foods are pizza, um, and hot dogs, and cupcakes. I love playing outside and joking around with my dad and my sister."

Charlie: "There we are in our PJ's Saturday morning. I'm making pancakes, our favorite breakfast food, and the girls are fooling around. They couldn't stop laughing long enough to pose for the picture!"

I don't mind at all :D! I don't have the market cornered on twin girls . The girls are so cute and Charlie is adorable! Everyone's apps are looking great, too- I can't wait for the contest to start (and for me to actually get mine done :P).

Ok, this is my first contest so here it goes...

Father

Name - Rhys Clark
Age - 26
Location - New York
Bio - A few days before Rhys graduated from high school he got the schocking news that his girlfriend, Danielle, was pregnant. They thought about putting her up for adoption, but once Ava was born they realized they could never do that. Five years later their son, Noel, was born. A few months after that, Danielle left. She said this wasn't the life she wanted, always being tied down to the kids and never having any fun. Rhys was devastated. How could she just leave like that? Now a couple of years have gone by and life is becoming normal again. He loves his kids very much and works hard to give them everything they deserve.



Offspring

Name - Ava Clark
Age - 7
Location - New York
Bio - Ava is a little goofball and loves making people laugh. She gets along great with her little brother and they stick very close to each other. One of her favorite things to do is play soccer with her dad. He's a great teacher and they always end up laying on the ground laughing.



Offspring

Name - Noel Clark
Age - 2
Location - New York
Bio - Noel adores his dad and big sister. He loves playing with them and has a lot of fun when they try and teach him new things. His favorite place to go is the park. He could spend all day in the sandbox!

Neat applications you too, they're so cute!

Fathers Name: Damian Rochester
Fathers Age: 36
Location: Australia
Short Biography: Damian is an ex-rockstar wannabe, uncoventional dad and single parent. After he attempted to launch his singing career for four months at the tender age of twenty, Damian was forced to quit, after he realised he just wasn't any good. Damian was fresh college dropout when he wed his high school sweetheart. Unfortunately, that didn't last much longer than his singing career, and he was left with their baby while she jetted off to Italy with her mysterious other. His daughter, Sean(a), always knew he secretly wished she had been born a boy, but that's her story..

Offspring Name: Seana "Sean" Rochester
Offspring Age: 15
Location: Australia
Short Biography: Sean(a) is almost as unconventional as her dad. Deep down she always knew that he wished she had been a boy, so always eager to please her beloved father, that's what she became. It was quite a shock for Damian when she wandered downstairs one day, dressed to impress as a guy with all her hair cut off. But he got over it, and Sean(a) feels she really is a boy on the inside. She also believes their "male bonding" has taught her so much more about her father than she would have known if she were a girl.
Sean(a): "I'm a gender-bending, male-identifying queer, so, basically, if you use female pronouns when speaking about me, I'll hiss at you."

right, i'm definitely joining, either today, or tomorrow. but I AM joining

I am curious, when does the application round end? I would like to join but won't be able to do anything until Friday afternoon as I am working long hours this week - I get off work at 6am on Friday morning then will sleep till 2ish or so...will there be enough time? I have a family picked out but no photos taken yet.

I'm looking to end it late Friday GMT, but I can keep it open a little longer if you need it.

If the application round is kept open longer, could we possibly get the information for Round 1 when we were suppose to? I work all week, so I was really looking forward to having the whole weekend to do it. If not, I understand too.

I should be able to get the entry in Friday night...I am central time here. I don't work Friday night so it shouldn't be a problem.

Seeing as there won't be judging for the application round, getting the Round I info up sooner won't be a problem.

Poetry could you include the formal shot of Damien and Sean(a), please?

Alright, finished my application. If any changes need to be made, let me know. I'm so excited to start round one :D!

Hey, Hope I'm not too late! I didn't see a post closing this round, so I'm going to go ahead and post my app. I hope the pictures are ok, my other computer has sucky graphics...I wish I could play it on this laptop, but its a mac and my desktop is a PC.
