Help[Games] Congradulations Dimitriou Family!
in reply to a message by Emilie
Congrats to Nikolas, Sophia, Callie, Echo, Edie and Annie! Please welcome Midas, Orion, Phocas, Eleftherios and Maria, all from Greece, to your family!
Midas Iosif is 11 years old. He loves sports and dreams of being in the Olympics. His favorite sport is track and field. He has won many medals for it. Midas doesn't know any English, but is eager to learn.
Orion Gregorios is 13 years old. He is very quiet. He likes spending his time studying and reading, and is fluent in 3 languages: Greek, English and Latin. He decided to study something more foreign and is now studying both Swahili and Japanese. He often finds it hard to make friends.Orion's little sister is Maria Despoina and is 4 years old. She loved playing with her doll, "Eleni". She can speak a little Greek, and that's it. Maria and Orion come from a very poor village and Maria is excited to have older sisters.
Phocas Nicolaos and Eleftherios Spiro "Lefteris" are 9 year old identical twins. They are almost always dressing like eachother, even though they have different personalities. Phocas is very artistic. He loves to paint. Lefteris is more musical and loves playing the drums. They both are fluent in Greek but know a little English (very little).

Thank you!
The girls were very excited when they found out we were adopting and they would soon have little brothers or sisters. Like our girls, Midas, Orion, Phocas, Eleftherios and Maria are now being home-schooled. Midas, Phocas and Eleftherios have been learning English and are all doing very well. The rest of their lessons are done in Greek. Maria is still learning Greek, we want her to learn that before anything else. Because Orion was already familliar with English, the older girls are teaching him German and French, he's been helping them learn some of the Swahili and Japanese he already learned.
Midas is doing great, he has joined a track and field team and qualified for regionals. Were very excited for his big race! But Midas finds it hard to make friends outside our home because of the language barrier. We're very sure that in a few more weeks when he is more comfortable in English, that he will be able to make tones of friends!
Orion is very quiet, but he is very intelligent. For the first few weeks, he mainly read books in his room and came downstairs for his schooling. But ever since he's been helping Echo, Edie and Annie learn Swahili and Japanes, he's become much more out-going. He doesn't have very many friends, but has started making friends with some of Echo, Edie and Annie's friends' younger brothers. He's also become close to Midas.
Phocas and Lefteris are doing great. Phocas has been taking art classes at the community centre and has made a few friends. He likes to draw us all little pictures. Our fridge has never been fuller! Lefteris is taking drum lessons. We even got him a drum set. He loves it. He hopes to be in a very famous band one day.
Maria is a sweetheart. We recently found out that just like her brother; Maria is very intelligent. Although she is only 4, she is excelling in grade 1 lesson plans. Her Greek is almost perfect now. Her older sisters love to take her shopping and dress her up. She still brings her doll "Eleni" everywhere.
Thank you again for our 5 new wonderful children!
Love, the Dimitriou family.
