INTRODUCING...THE AVERY’S (left to right: Marshall, June, Isaiah & baby Lena)

After years of trying & not being able to have kids, Marshall (49) & June (47) had all but given up having children of their own. So instead, they focused on their careers & were intent on keeping busy with travel. 

So it was a complete surprise when Tamika became pregnant with Isaiah at 39. They were overjoyed & after years of not being able to have a second child they were content with having just one. So it was an even greater shock when she gave birth eight years later to a baby girl, Lena.

Now that their older, they realized that they couldn’t keep up with a toddler like they used to. So they asked their parents, Walter (June’s dad) & Melba (Marshall's mom) to move in & help take care of Isaiah & Lena.

Walter is a former travelling jazz musician. He never made it into the big time, but was big enough that he earned a living playing with/for other performers. Since he was always travelling for a gig, he missed a lot of his daughter’s childhood. He hopes by helping out with the grandchildren, he can make-up for lost time.

Melba is a widowed former seamstress/housewife. She was a stern but loving parent to Marshall growing up. The stress of raising five children with her husband, left her stressed & short tempered often. However, with age & time, she’s mellowed out & is extremely different with her grandchildren.
