Welcome Ruby and Dante
Ruby Eve is a seven year old girl from England. She has dark blond hair and grey eyes. Ruby's parents gave her up for adoption because they were not ready to take care of a kid when she was still very young. Still they would like to have contact with Ruby sometimes. Ruby loves gymnastics,learning, and cartoons.
Dante Cleto is a ten year old boy from Italy. He has light brown hair and hazel eyes. His parents died in a car accident when Dante was seven and he has been up for adoption since than. Dante likes animals, sports, and movies. He knows some English, but mostly speaks Italian
It would be wonderful to hear how Ruby and Dante are doing.

Ruby and Dante are doing wonderfully!
Ruby is a very active, sociable girl, and is fitting right into the family. She and I have already gotten very close, which is a delight to me. Also, she absolutely adores her new sister Bianca! She follows her everywhere, like a miniature mommy! She's getting along great with the boys as well, especially Lucas, for they both love learning. One of their main activities is "quizzing" each other on math problems.
Dante is doing wonderfully as well--he's gotten adjusted enough to where he truly has become the "big brother" of the rest, even Jack. Dante is grateful to have a home, and he shows it to us daily. He's very helpful around the house and with the kids. His English has gotten better, but we also speak in Italian more frequently than we used to around the house--and the kids love it (And we're all teaching Ruby so she doesn't feel left out!). Dante and Jack became quick friends and love playing soccer together. We have also discovered Dante's wonderful singing voice; Gian is trying to get him interested in traditional Italian opera.
Thank you so much for picking such wonderful additions to our family!
