A year later:Jethro and Lovisa are overjoyed to be grandparents, just as we are overjoyed to finally have children! These six are wonderful additions to our home.Bryan and Isidore get along very well, especially for father and teenage son! There is always a lively discussion of the latest story in the news. Bryan has been accepted to a number of universities and will attend the University of Chicago next year, along with his girlfriend of ten months, Renee. We are so proud of all that he has accomplished in his senior year of high school!Sylvia has settled in as well and is very happy to have a younger sister. She and Nina play together with dolls and clothes. Sylvia does well in school and is taking ballet and tap lessons, which she enjoys immensely. She and her best friends at school, Lydia and Gabby, are always talking on the phone. She is a very happy tween!Isidoro, who's acquired the nickname "Junior," has had some problems settling in, especially with handling so many others in the house. However, he and Isidore have many conversations about school and other issues he has. Junior is in therapy twice a month to help him overcome his rage issues, which were initially a problem at school that led to a suspension. We homeschooled him for the first semester of this past year, and then reentered him into the public system. His English is improving and he has learned how to salsa dance, which the girls at school absolutely love. He has his eye on an exchange student (also a freshman) from Colombia named Esperanza. We hope that something will develop and he will feel more welcome here.
