Welcome Gianni, Rodolfo, Oceane, and Jarek!
in reply to a message by Rachael
Congratulations!
Gianni and Rodolfo are twin infants from Turin, Italy. They have brown hair and brown eyes. Both appear to be developmentally normal.
Oceane Marie is 3 years old and is from Paris, France. She has black hair and green eyes. She is a very intelligent child and is already beginning to read. She loves to play with dolls and to play dress-up. Her favorite movies are Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella and she wants to be a princess (or Miss USA) when she grows up. She is very sweet and gentle with animals and other children. She is a very picky eater and has a tendency to throw small tantrums when she is given food that is not to her liking. She loves classical music to be on and will make up silly ballet dances to entertain herself.
Jarek is 4 years old and comes from Gdynia, Poland. He has blond hair and blue eyes. He is a quiet and shy child, but intelligent and thoughtful. He speaks Polish and some Russian, but he is a quick learner and will have little trouble with English. He likes dogs, cartoons, and eating lots and lots of cheese and potato pierogies. He says he wants to be a "tummy doctor" when he grows up; he lost his mother last year to liver failure from alcoholism and does not know the particulars surrounding her death. He is very courteous and helpful to people, but will take a while to warm up to others. Jarek is looking forward to having his own bedroom and to trying a hamburger in the United States for the first time!

Two Years Later... (sorry if this counts as copying .P.)
Our family has been doing great since the adoption of our latest children; Jarek, Oceane, Gianni and Rodolfo.
Misaki, now 15, immediately fell in love with them, as she did with the others. She's always been great with kids. Her and David are now in a really nice public high school, and she's made lots of friends with her best friend from homeschoolling, Mia. Last year, she took over as Jarek and Maxim's private tutor. Both have really improved.
David, now 14, was a little less then excited about our newest additions, he was with Maxim, too. He's not very social. However, Oceane was reading out loud. David heard and was really impressed. He's lately been much more open, not just with her but with us. I now have a picture of him, the twins, and the girls at a tea party. At school, he's a bit more social and talks to kids in his freshman classes (most of his classes are junior classes). He's been enrolled at that school since mid 7th grade, since we needed him to make friends.
Dalia, now 13, turned into head designer on the bedrooms. She transformed Oceane's into a perfert princess palace and Jarek's is full of red, orange, yellow and blue. It's very bright. Her and Nicoletta designed the twins' rooms together, Gianni's in pale blue and yellow and Rodolpho's in teal and red.
Nicoletta, now 11, was, as I said, the assistant bedroom designer. She has also been Oceane's "dance instructor", and they have preformed for us at Christmas (we celebrate the non-religious way, hi Santa!), Hanukkah (for David), birthdays, and parties. They have a lot of fun together.
Luke, now 10, and Guido, now 9, have made Jarek their "project", meaning he is becoming mini-Lukeguido. Although they can be a bit annoying to him, he does play with them, they always invite him, even with the older kids, and he seems to like it. However, sometimes the two compete to be Jarek's "favorite". Luke is very competetive, and sometimes scares him. Guido is our funny guy, and Jarek likes to hang out with him.
