Len and Evie adopted half-brothers Elihu and Phinehas, better known as Eli and Finn, from Annapolis. They weren't too keen on adopting siblings, but were so taken with the two boys that they made an exception. Though neither Len nor Evie are particularly religious they take the boys to a local synagogue every Saturday, and have enrolled themselves in classes there to study Judaism more so that they can support the boys.
Eli and Orson get along very well, they both love baseball and Orson has been teaching his new younger brother better ways to hit and helping him improve his pitching. He enjoys Kate's quieter nature, and the two are often study buddies since they both do very well in school.
Finn seems to be thriving in his new home, he loves that he's the youngest and that there's always someone around to entertain or play with him. Though he is still having trouble napping, Evie finds it's a bit easier if she puts him down in the room with her because then when he wakes up he knows where she is right away.
Xander is almost ready to graduate, and is slowly apartment hunting with his girlfriend Celia. He's been dragging his feet more than she would like because he doesn't want to leave his adopted siblings, especially Orson, and he will miss being around to help out.
Kate is doing excellently in school, her favourite subjects are art, English, and social studies, but she does well in every subject except gym. She is often a study-buddy during recess or lunch for kids who need help, since she doesn't like running around outside.
Pippa, however, loves gym, and sports, and stuck with the soccer that Len and Evie signed both her and Kate up for when they were four. She isn't doing as well in school as her sister, but still gets decent grades. She also enjoys art, and hers and Kate's room is absolutely covered in drawings.
Orson, Pippa, and Eli are a ragtag bunch of hellions who seem to into a mess wherever they go; they can often be found in the neighbourhood park screeching as they play. But sometimes Orson needs some time alone, because he thinks himself too old to play with the younger two, so he retreats to Xander's room to read. He always feels safe down there.
