This is a few years later- your oldest child is in fourth grade, your multiple births are in first grade, and the foriegn twins are in three years old. I thought of promising no more kids, but it really does make it interesting. Now you have quads to deal with! (Are you shocked or thrilled?) They should be two girls and two boys. You get a new pet. And once again, with the four new additions, it's moving time!
Dear friends and family,
I thought our days with children were over after we adopted
Michele and
Felix. But I was as wrong as ever... On
September 19, we welcomed
April Charlotte,
Karen Amalia,
Nicholas Ryan, and
James Noah into our growing family.
April weighed six pounds, three ounces,
Karen weighed seven pounds, one ounce,
Nick weighed six pounds, nine ounces, and
Jamie weighed seven pounds, two ounces. We are delighted, although still in shock about the energy we have to put into this.
Marcus has found a girlfriend, which we adopted. We named her
Rose. Much to our surprise, I wasn't the only pregnant person-
Rose had a litter of kittens! We sold three kittens and kept two. We named the two kittens
Tibby and
Elise.
Now that we had two parents, ten kids, and four cats, we decided we definitely needed a new house. So for the second time, we packed up our house and moved to a larger house on the other side of town. At last (I'm positive about this,) our family will stay the same time.
Love,
Hannah,
Chris,
Bella,
Matt,
Ben,
Cecily,
April,
Karen,
Ryan,
Jamie,
Marcus,
Rose,
Tibby,
Elise
