Re: Rachel Shay's Congrats Round 4
User Name: Estel
LN: Rosenfield
DH: Avraham Moshe "Avi" [33]
DW: Shiloh Katherine [32]
DS/DS: Malachi Vincent and Elijah Benjamin (8)
DS/DD: Asher Joshua and Miriam Rosalie "Mira" (5)
DD/DS: Rachel Lillian and Joel Alexander (3)
DS: Ezra Reuben (newborn)The Rosenfield family is a happy, thriving group. Malachi and Elijah are in all-day school now (3rd grade), Asher and Mira are in half-day Kindergarten, and Rachel and Joel are in half-day preschool. Shiloh is a happy stay-at-home mom, and she spends what spare time she has researching fun historical and educational places to take the kids. Avi works for a photography company and gets assignments from them, so he never lacks for a job site. He also does wedding and other special event photography on the weekends, by request. On a Saturday when the littlest twins were two, Shiloh planned a romantic night out with Avi; just the two of them. After dinner, she asked him if he was prepared for another set of twins. Avi looked at her, then understood what she meant. He smiled, but inwardly was worried about a fourth set of twins. Although the doctors assured them that there was only one baby, Avi and Shiloh weren't certain until Ezra Reuben was born that Shiloh wasn't carrying twins--after all, Asher was supposed to be a singleton as well. But, Ezra was the only baby this time. Avi and Shiloh were proud to have another son and happy that he came right on time and was healthy. They were also glad they didn't have another set of twins--having six children under the age of nine already was difficult. The other kids were happy to welcome Ezra into the family, and they quickly accepted him as one of their own. While Shiloh was in the hospital, the local newspaper came by and wanted to do a special story on the Rosenfield family--about life in a family with seven kids under the age of ten. Here is what Shiloh wrote about each of her kids: Malachi is our oldest, by fifteen minutes. He's very athletic and loves to be outdoors. He will be the one to bring me a toad as a present or ask me to bait his fishing hook with worms.
Elijah is Malachi's identical twin. He is very much like Malachi, but has more of a competitve edge. Elijah likes to compete and win, but he is quickly learning that he can't win all the time.
Asher is our third son. He loves to sing and dance and is almost always happy. Asher enjoys making noise and is quite the little schemer, especially when he doesn't want to do his homework.
Mira is our oldest little girl and she is Asher's twin. She is quiet and studious and stays at my side whenever she can. Mira doesn't require much attention, but she likes just being near Avi or I.
Rachel is our second daughter. She is a wild drama queen who loves to be the center of attention. Rachel enjoys playing dress-up. She especially likes when the older kids join in her fun.
Joel is Rachel's twin. He is very smart and very musical. Joel likes to bang around on the piano that we have and he also likes looking at picture books. He is clever and can figure out his problems without much help from anybody else.
Ezra is the baby. He is quite content and already has the makings of a big dreamer.
