Conrad, David, Florian, Ignatz and Soren have been a wonderful addition to our family. It was a little rocky at first, but things have settled nicely now (or as nicely as a house with 7 boys can be :D ). Michael and Rudy love having 5 new little brothers. All 5 boys were enrolled in Private School.
Conrad took the longest time to "warm up" to the family, but he's struck up a special relationship with Michael and just adores his big brother.
David was thrilled to discover that Rudy is an avid Footballer too. He has joined the same team as Rudy and is doing wonderfully.
Florian is enrolled in the same Gymnasium (High School for kids who will go to University) as Michael. He is doing very well, but has some struggles with the social aspect, being so much younger.
Ignatz was a "tough nut to crack", but eventually his softer side started immerging. Though he still gets into a few skirmishes at school, he is doing better in that department.
Soren is a joy. We love his uniqueness. At his request we never refer to the boys as "the quints". He was thrilled that the Private School we enrolled them in has put him in a seperate class from any of his brothers. He has forged his own friendships and continues to "march to the beat of his own drummer".
