Akakios (we all call him Aksel) had a pretty rough time fitting in with our family. He fought with Greg constantly, even broke his nose once. But he seems to have settled down a bit. He is very smart and is currently on the honor society in school. We decided to send Jim, Jeremiah and Aksel on a two week trip to Greece where they toured Aksels birthtown as well as visiting some of our relatives. After asking around, they discovered Aksel's mother did have another baby, a little girl. She was living with an extremely elderly couple who were nearly unable to care for her. We asked if she might want to come live with us and they all agreed. So, Aksel brought his sister; Kalliope Hera, back here to join our family. She is 8 years old and is adjusting well.

Arie and Cleto are a joy to our family. Cleto and Joshua have similar intrests and do many of the same things together. Arie has discoverd musical theatre and now won't stop singing and dancing. She seems to have transfered her passion for ice skating into dancing and she is quite good. Often the star of the shows in our community theatre.
