Birthdays on same day of week

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
My three children were born with about 2 years between them, each on different days of the week. My husband and I were also born on different days of the week and in different years. Our birthdays now connect as follows (picking the current year by way of example, as of, and ending on, 1 March):
Husband (Tuesday) - two weeks - wife (Tuesday).
Then, a few months later:
Child 3 (Wednesday) - six weeks - child 1 (Wednesday) - six weeks - Christmas Day (Wednesday) - one week - New Year's Day (Wednesday) - one week - child 2 (Wednesday).
