Thank you for these children. Upon welcoming them into our home, we asked them if they'd like to change their names.
Chelsea liked her middle name, but wanted to change her first name. She's now
Susannah Rose, and she loves going by her full name.
Jesse kept his first name, but his middle name has been respelled to by
Michael.
Alec kept his name as is.
The older children love
Alec,
Jesse, and
Susannah Rose, and are all very nurturing.
Edward and
Alec have become almost inseparable, and are always in the yard playing soccer or baseball (
Alec has lost a few pounds due to the exercise), and you can often hear them discussing books they've read recently.
Jesse and
Ashley have bonded very well, and
Ashley enjoys teaching him new things.
Susannah Rose, upon understanding that she's now an aunt, has taken a very motherly role to baby
Jude.
Larry and
Janis have
Tirzah,
Parisa,
Zakiah,
Ashley,
Edward,
Alec, and
Jesse and
Susannah Rose, and a grandson
Jude.
