Re: Adoption Congrats - Round 2
in reply to a message by Ariel
DH: Leonard Walter Sommerhoff 'Len' [45]
DW: Evelyn Rosalie [Pfenning] Sommerhoff 'Evie' [43]
DH’s DS: Alexander Peter Sommerhoff 'Xander' [19]
AD & AD: Katherine Ariel 'Kate' & Philippa Hero 'Pippa' [3]
AS: Orson Michael [5]
Evie's younger sister and her partner died when a flash flood swept through the small town they lived in. Their son Orson was visiting his grandparents at the time, but they didn't feel equipped to take care of him long-term, so Len and Evie happily took him in. They go to a therapist Len knows through work with him twice a week for now, and will be singing him up for baseball once the season starts.
He has attached himself to Xander, and can frequently be found in his room with one of his books, but finds his new sisters [especially Kate] aggravating.
Xander did end up moving down to the basement, which they renovated so he had proper space, and he often has friends over. He is currently attending John Hopkins University, and is pursuing a teaching degree.
Kate & Pippa share a room now, and though Kate maintains her picky nature Pippa is game to try anything once.
Kate enjoys drawing, and telling stories with her dolls and stuffed animals, while Pippa loves helping her parents in the garden [though she mainly just digs in the dirt where they tell her to].
