The Reinhardts are driving down from the regional hospital to their rental home in Fairview, Anchorage, Alaska. Their modest family income of $50k is just short of average for the area. Daddy Reinhardt works at Costco and Momma Reinhardt work at Walmart. Thankfully they live close to their extended family, Daddy Reinhardt with two younger sisters and Momma Reinhardt with an older sister and a younger brother. All four grandparents are alive and retired. Lucky little Ritz isn't born to much but will not be short of cousins to play with and doting grandparents to help change his nappies. >Roll 1d3 for pet, 1 = cat, 2 = dog, 3 = no pet.>Write in names for all family members.
