Hello! It has been 2 years since we adopted Charlotte Marie "Charlie" , Thomas Jacob "Tommy" , Andrew Louis "Drew", Stephanie Adelaide "Stephie" , Declan Moses "Dec" and Sarah July. Abbi, our DD, is now 9 years old. She loves helping Charlie take care of her younger siblings. She has been playing the piano lately and has become quite good at it. She has her first recital this Saturday!
She is now in 3rd grade and absolutely loves her teacher.Charlie, who is now 8, has just started the second grade! She is doing very well and has made many new friends. She and Abbi have been a huge help with the younger children. Charlie has taken up ballet and loves it! Tommy, who is also now 8 and in the second grade, has been very busy. He is currently doing karate, which he enjoys so much! It is great to see him smile! We also got him involved in an after-school activity in which they learn how to build things. You should see the house decorations he has built! They are amazing!Drew is now 6 years old and in 1st grade. He loves school and never gives us an argument about doing his homework. He has been playing soccer and loves it! It gives him a great release for his energy! We also got him a dog, whom he named Chester!Stephie, who is now 5 years old and in kindergarten, has grown up so fast, but she is still very loud and loves to run around constantly. We also got her involved in soccer and ballet, which has been great because she loves running around (but her ballet teacher doesn't like that too much :)
We are trying to get her to control her argumentative way when she doesn't get to be in charge, and she's progressing well I think.Declan is 4 and he has become such a social little boy! You would never believe it was him! He still feels a little bit lost when none of his siblings are around, and still has a room right next to Drew, but he has opened up a lot! He is very bright and he is playing T-ball, which he thinks is the best! He is attending preschool 3 days a week and is so excited to ride the big yellow school bus!Sarah is 2 and boy can she run! She has become almost a miniture version of Stephie, and becomes more like her every day! She is sometimes very loud, but she is very calm most of the time. She is not in preschool yet, but will be starting next year hopefully!I'd also like to add that we've added 2 new members to our family! Last July, we welcomed Molly Elizabeth "Molls" Fair and William Cole "Liam" Fair into our family! The twins are now 6 months old and thriving! Sarah is so excited to be a big sister! All of our other children also love having two new siblings! Thanks for helping us to complete our family!
