After we adopted
Faith,
Hope,
Joy,
Blake, and
Lucas, we gave them all middle names.
Faith is now
Faith Katrienne Jennings. She adores her middle name, and often insists on going by "
Kat".
Hope is now
Hope Kavita Jennings, and
Joy is
Joy Keziah Jennings.
Faith often plays dress up and puts on fashion shows with
Stella and
Anna. They also paint and draw together a lot, which
Joy will join them for.
Hope much prefers to play with her new brothers. She's usually outside with
Lucas,
Blake,
Ashley, and
Alex, playing sports.
Lucas is now
Lucas Malachi Jennings, and
Blake is now
Blake Apollo Jennings. The two of them, as mentioned above, are often outside playing sports with
Alex,
Ashley, and
Hope.
Lucas calls his biological parents once or twice a month, and
Blake is seeing a psychologist, like
Jaye. We schedule their appointments together.
Blake is, however, making plenty of friends, and
Larry often is driving him to the movie theater so they can see a movie together.
Larry and
Janis have
Tirzah,
Jon,
Jaye,
Parisa,
Zakiah,
Jade,
Ashley,
Edward,
Blake,
Alex,
Esme,
Lucas,
Stella and
Anna,
Jesse and
Susannah,
Kat,
Hope,
Joy, and
Isidore, plus grandkids,
Jude,
Avril, and
Noah.
