Please welcome Penelope Rose "Ellie" (7) and Oliver Royce (7)!Ellie and Oliver are twins from the southern United States. Their parents died five years ago in a car accident, and they have been with us ever since.Ellie is a bright girl who enjoys anything that brings her outside! She enjoys going for hikes in the woods and is very interested in plants. She would love to get the opportunity to go camping someday! She has blond hair that she prefers to be keep short, and she is tall for her age.Oliver also enjoys the outdoors, though he prefers swimming to hiking. He also loves to paint pictures of the people and places he sees. Oliver is shorter than his sister and his hair is slightly darker. Please let us know how Ellie and Oliver are doing!

Two years after adopting the twins...Ellie and Oliver have settled in brilliantly, and in the two years since welcoming them to our family we have been on a douzen camping trips as well as a couple of visits to Scotland.
Tobias, who was thrilled to finally get a little sister, has barely been out of the garden since Ellie has joined us. He regularly takes her out with Sam on hikes and has read book after book on plants and herbology just so he can pass that information onto Ellie. He has also been keen to spend time with Oliver, and the two boys, plus their father, often go on fishing trips whilst out.
Seb took a bit more time to adjust to the twins' arrival than Tobias is because there was only three years between them, however after two years he has fully accepted the twins and loves to play with them. Seb and Oliver can spend hours in the conservatory or outside painting from landscapes and from pictures, while Seb and Ellie just generally like to play outside together.
Apart from offering the twins a stable home after the tragic death of their parents, I have also introducted Ellie and Oliver to astronomy and poetry - both of which Oliver is finding particularly interesting. :)
