The transition from no children to four was a little rough for our family, but with God's grace, we managed well. Annora still hasn't opened up, but her little girl-Alexa Mae-Rose seems to be theraputic for her. Annora is a great mother, but we make sure to allow her personal time that a typical 16 needs. She has been earning a little money by teaching piano some kids in the nearby town and thrives. We still catch her waking up at 4 to go running (which our lovely Arizona weather accomidates nicely) which we also view as theraputic. Bridget pulled away from Annora a little after moving in with us and has entered her new life running. She enrolled in several advanced art courses and is a likely candidate for some prestigious art scholarships. Malachi has been a joy to have around. He still isn't interested in finding his birth parents, but knows we will help him if he ever does. He has his own 'modeling studio' in a shed outside that Henry helped fix up with him. It also has electricity and he will mold and watch movies for hours out there.

Thank you so much for placing these kids in our home, we feel complete now as a family.
