Thank you so much for these wonderful children! We are so honored to have them in our lives.
Spiro, Timothea, and Evdokia are doing very well. We signed all of them up for music lessons to encourage their talents. Spiro just had a piano recital a few weeks ago, and he got a standing ovation. We were surprised to find out that in addition to her beautiful voice, Timothea (or Thea, as we call her) is a great actress. With the combination of these two skills, she has just gotten the lead in a musical at her school. We can't wait to go see her perform! Evdokia (Evie) is currently attending a school for mute children, and we believe that she may be able to enter a mainstream school next year. We have been learning sign language together so she can communicate better with us. She has been playing the harp almost nonstop, and we love the sound of her music filling the house.
Spiro and Jude are best friends. They spend every waking minute together, and they even share a room. Jude has been introducing Spiro to all of his friends at school, and we are pleased to find that Spiro is developing good relationships with all of them.
Amaranta and Uberto are delightful. Amaranta's teachers tell us that she is a very good student, and it is obvious that she really enjoys school. At first, she was reluctant to leave Uberto and hang out with girls her own age, but now, she has really come out of her shell. She has lots of friends and has been able to stop being a parent to her brother and savor her childhood. We just celebrated her thirteenth birthday, and she is very excited to be a teenager.
Uberto is such a happy child. He is in first grade, and is learning to read. Every afternoon when he comes home from school, he tells about something new he learned in school today. He wants to sit down and read to us every night! He idolizes Jude and Spiro and follows them everywhere. We are trying to encourage him to make friends of his own, and so far, it is working well.
Thank you again for this wonderful gift!
