2 years have passed.
Aaron is the best little seven year old boy ever. He is loving 2nd grade, and doing fabulously. However, the teacher has told us he draws on everything! When he's not in school, he's busy helping Erik build a chest for the twin's dress up clothes.
Gabriel, Gabe, as we call him, is now 4. We enrolled him in preschool, and is doing very well. Erik's teaching him how to read. He has developed an interest in helping Mama cook, and our junior chef is so cute in his little apron.
Chloe and Eden are 8. They have a whole group of little friends at school, and apparently they love fooling people who is who. We can tell! Chloe is on the local club's swim team and loving it. Eden is helping Mama plan the garden for the spring, and pretending she is a veterinarian.
Tinfoil is fast friends with Agathe. She treats him like he's her baby, and they are inseparable. Fairy was very timid of us at first, but now wakes us up to go take a walk in the mornings.
Thank you for these beautiful children!
