Dear Agency,It's been one whole year since we brought Katie and Cole home from Holland and 11 whole months Nika, Timmy, and Eli home from Russia. It's been a roller coaster ride. Upon arriving home Katie immediately bonded with our oldest daugther, Lily. Even though Lily already had a sister (Julie) she bonded better with Katie as the age difference was smaller. Cole and Morgan enjoy playing soccer, tag, hide-and-go seek, and racing in the fields (although Morgan has the upper hand as he knows the fields well). Little Julie felt left out (as we had an odd number of children). When Nika, Timmy, and Eli arrived she was happy because she would finally have a friend (Nika) unfortunately Nika was not as she expected, Nika was much more mature (due to her circumstances) and prefered tending to Eli and Timmy rather than playing with her. But eventually her shyness was lost and Nika soon became Katie's best friend. Julie was devastated but the three girls worked it out. Timmy and Julie became quite fond of each other. Being the only two children (other than Eli) not in school they made up all sorts up games. At the age of 18 month Eli, now, happily toddles after his older siblings. Recently my husband's youngest older brother went through a divorce. His kids Roee and Ofira (6 & 7) are currently staying with us aswell....
