The 5 new additions are are very happy in our house. We have allowed Zoya to choose a middle name for herself and her siblings. She named herself Zoya Faith. Her brother and sister are Marriana Hope and Adrian Joseph. Faith and Hope are important to her and she chose Joseph because he was Jesus' earthly father. We enrolled Zoya in an after school program so she could find friends her own age and not have to worry about Marriana and Adrian. It is still hard for her, but she is learning slowly that she can ease up.

Ayla and Yonca are thriving at our home, which is now decorated with weaving projects. We gave Yonca and Ayla harps for Christmas. Yonca plays well. Ayla loves to play as well. It turns out she is a bit of autistic savant in her and she is doing very well at the harp.

Thank you for our new children!
