Your name: Lara Robin
SO's name: Jackson Aaron "Jack"
Current children (include ages): Audrey Rianne (15) Jason Avery (13) Josiah Micah (10) Jaime Lynn (7)
Pets: 1 dog-Pancake, 3 cats-Tickles, Max, Phoebe, 1 iguana-Mr. GrisleIts been 6 months since our family has grown from 6 to 10 and what a ride it has been! Shortly after recieving our new children, Jack left for a 2 week business trip. It was quite stressful for me but Audrey was a huge help to her mother. By the time Jack returned, the kids had pretty much settled down and were very eager to get to know their new dad better.Baraz has been an absolute delight to our family. We decided to keep his name to honor his heritage but the whole family calls him B.J. He seems to like this and responds well to his new name. He very busy and likes to play games where he can run alot. It is especially fun when Jason, the family jock, joins in. His sister Jaime, who is the same age, loves him although he can get on her nerves (she can be a bit prissy at times).Out of all the new children, Aaron seems to fit in best. He and Josiah are unseperable, often times hiding away and speaking in 'code ASL' that know one but them understands. The most beautiful thing they do together is read to their three younger siblings (occasionally the bigger ones will listen in). Aaron will sign and Josiah will translate. This also seems to be the best way for B.J. and Izzy to learn ASL.Little Izzy is a mama's girl. She is always by me wanting to help or play. 'uppy, uppy' seems to be her favorite words and between her parents and her siblings, her wish is usually granted. If we aren't careful, she will be well on her way to being spoiled. However, her personality is so precious and sweet, I don't think she'd let anyone spoil her.Over all, our big family is doing really well. For B.J.'s sake, we don't go swimming anymore, but none of the kids seem to mind. Audrey loves having more brothers and sisters to keep mom busy, Jason loves that he can play football or baseball and only need his family! Josiah has a new best friend who doubles as his brother and Jaime likes having a younger sister and not being the baby anymore.And while a little more tired, the love in this family has grown and who knows! We may even adopt again some day.
Love,
Lara, Jack, Audrey, Jason, Josiah, Jaime, B.J., Aaron, and Izzy
