Dear Arraya Light,

---

Thank you so much for the Mooney boys. They have been such a light in our lives! It has been three years since their adoption. We decided to keep all of their names. We weren't fond of all them (except Lawton) but we couldn't bring ourselves to change their names...after all, a name is so precious. Orrin is still the shy, reserved boy he was three years ago. He does not have many friends because of this, but he does have one best friend named Luke Penningfield. Those two are inseparable! Orrin is also very smart. He is at the top of every class and he just won the class spelling bee. We are so proud of him. He is also taking piano lessons and he is like a child prodigy! We cannot wait to see where he'll be in the next three years.

Lawton and Ennis have grown to be complete opposites! They are now four years old. Lawton has become the more dominant twin, so Ennis has become more reserved like his older brother Orrin. Lawton loves attention and he usually gets it by singing or dancing around the house. He adores his big sister Eden and follows her around like he's her shadow. Ennis on the other hand adores his older brother Gabe. And we just got a black cocker spaniel puppy which has become Ennis' best friend. He is such a caring and compassionate little kid. He can sense when someone isn't their normal self.

As far as our other children, they absolutely love the Mooney boys! Bianca is 9 years old already! She has been taking dance classes the last three years and had her first crush on Patrick Giles. Eden is 7. She struggles a bit with school, but Orrin is always there to help her understand the work. It's amazing the bond the two of them have. Greta and Gabe are probably the most lively out of our group of children. They are always getting into mischief and have that devilish smile about them. Just the other day, Gabe brought a snake in from outside and put it under the couch! Bianca was sitting there reading a book later in the day when it came out and she about had a heart attack!

The biggest news in our family is that we have another addition...well, another three. I have just birthed triplets! I have no clue how we're going to handle raising 10 kids under the age of 9...LORD help us! However the triplets names are Madison Faye "Maddie", Micah Thomas, and Molly Mae.

Thanks again,
Mr. & Mrs. Johnson and kids
