Sorry it took me so long to reply, I had a band concert.Everyone's fitting in well. Lucy loves her new little siblings, especially Korrine. They love playing video games together. She also has been giving Virgil soccer lessons. She just got her drivers permit, and we got her a used car that she just loves.Virgil and Zefirin had a some trouble at their schools because they didn't want to speak English in class, but they do speak it at home, and we've been trying to get them to practice their English. We also paid for a plane ride for their father so he could visit. He stayed at our house for two weeks and told Vlad he was very happy that we had adopted them. We also found a church in town that they can worship at.Nora has become one of Clover's closest friends. They are in the same class at school and they go almost everywhere together. Her mother comes to visit her every other weekend.Emil has made a lot of friends at school, he's very popular. His teachers like him too. He goes to a Catholic church in town.
