Ours, mine, and yours

Ours is a large, blended family.

Julian (paterfamilias) is a professor of biology. He is married to Diane.
Diane (matriarch) is writing a book.
Shauna (eldest daughter) works in a hospital, is married to Brian, and step-mom to Evan.
Jonathan (elder son) is a laser artist and holographer, temporarily tired of the penniless artist existence, and working in a hospital.
Cyndi (second-oldest daughter) is an audiologist working in West Virginia, living in Ohio, and is the mother of Noelle.
Maria (second-youngest daughter) manages an Auto Zone. She and Keith are Veronica's parental units.
Kennon (younger son) is double-majoring in biology and chemistry at Winthrop University.
Meghan (youngest daughter) studies musical theatre at Winthrop.
They all are somewhat animal crazy, and share their homes with an assortment of nonhuman companions.
