Help[Games] Make Your Family Step 2
your oldest is now in Kindergarten .. choose what grade period and tell your family and friends how proud or not so proud you are of him or her or them.
You are also a stay at home mom with the new addition of either birth of twins or adoption(if you adopted they have to be from another country with name from that country).
You are also just getting through a rough patch in life(ie...loss of job, car accident, death in family or so forth)

Dear friends and family:
Bella has just entered Kindergarten. We have heard from the teachers that she is very smart, and has a lot of spunk. Apparently enough to get her to the "time-out chair" once in a while. We will work on this.
Chris, Bella, and I are proud to announce that I recently gave birth to twins, born May 2. Their names are Matthew Scott and James Adam. Matthew was born first, and was eight pounds, three ounces, and twenty inches. James followed four and a half minutes later at seven pounds, eleven ounces, and twenty-three inches.
On a sad note, I was recently in a car crash. I was hospitalized with a broken leg in three places. After a few surgeries, I was released. I have a long cast from toes to hip, which Bella enjoys practicing her signature on. :)
Love,
Hannah, Chris,
Bella, Matt, Jamie

Hi everyone!
Ben just finished his first term at pre-school and he absolutely loves it, especially storytime and drawing. Clearly the creativity didn't skip a generation! Our fridge at home is covered in his stories and pictures, and we dare to hope he might be an artist one day.
Also, some very exciting news for you, but some sad news too. We knew Ben's grandpa was very sick, but it was still a shock when he passed away a couple of weeks ago. Both Tom and I wanted to say thanks to all of you for the lovely cards and flowers we received for the funeral. Thankfully I don't think Ben will remember his grandpa being so ill, if at all, but it's good that he didn't see him go downhill so fast. We're all missing him and thinking of him a lot.
Now for the exciting news: we've got two new additions to the family! Daniel James and Emily Phoebe were born on 26 February at 10:43 PM. Danny weighed 6lbs 5oz and Millie weighed 6lbs 2oz. That's a little on the small side I know but they had to be delivered a month early because according to my midwife, 'it's easier to get two Peugeots out of a garage than two Landrovers', plus they were worried that Danny might be monopolising Millie's blood supply. Ben's so excited to have a little brother, but as yet he's not too crazy about the idea of a sister.

DS/DS: Isaiah Michael "Izzy" & Gabriel Theodore "Gabe" - 5
DS/DS: Julian Samuel "Jules" & Everett Malcolm "Rett" - Infant
Jon and I have welcomed a second set of boy twins into our life. We have named them Julian Samuel & Everett Malcolm. Izzy & Gabe are very excited to be big brothers and have helped out quite a bit. The baby's have dark brown hair and deep blue eyes.
Izzy & Gabe are 5 years old and are now in kindergarten. Gabe is having a little trouble paying attention and is a little hyper active at times. Isaiah is shy and quiet and will only socialize with his brother Gabe. The teacher has suggested splitting them up in to different classes because of Izzy's lack of social skills but we have yet to make up our minds. She also thinks Gabe is showing signs of ADHD which could devolpe problems in the future. Other than that the boys are picking things up quickly and will hopefully make a smooth transfer to the 1st grad next year.
Jon and I have hit a rough patch with the recent fall of Jon's computer company which resulted in the loss of Jon's job as a computer engineer. At the moment my father has given Jon a posistion at his car dealership. Jon only plans on staying there until he finds another position within his related field.

Hi all,
Well I have to tell you - i'm exhausted! Ryan and Ollie are off to kindergarton these days, and i'm glad, although they're never ending thirst for life has landed them both in a bit of trouble. They mean well i know, but they can sometimes be far to energetic for their own goods! I don't think they are dealing with the birth of the new babies very well. Yes thats right, Mark and I have become the parents of a second set of twins, Alyssa Kaye and Daniel Sebastian. They're good babies but unfortunately things have been difficult. Daniel suffers from severe Asthma and the poor thing has been having a lot of breathing difficulties, even ending up in hospital a couple of times. Its requiring a lot of work to make sure things are running smoothly. Speaking of which - better get back too it!
Love
Anna, Mark, Ryan, Ollie, Alyssa and Daniel.

Greetings!
What a year! Lyris is loving kindergarten. She's bad friends with a girl named Olive. They're quite a pair, with Lyris being so fair skinned and blonde and Olive with her beautiful ebony skin and black hair. They take beautiful pictures today. I have several on my fridge in the kitchen. Jan even bought a magnet that says "best friends" on it to hold up the picture which Lyris absolutely adores. She's trying to write a poem to give to Olive as a token of friendship, but she doesn't quite have the penmanship yet! I think this quest will be really good for her, especially since she's been having trouble learning to write (though no trouble at all reading).
I've been spending most of my time at home with the twins (Magnus David and Wesley Solomon). I really miss going to work everyday. I have an office here at home to do my writing when I find the time, but it isn't the same. On the toher hand, I love spending time with my boys. Wesley is such a giggly baby. He craves attention and enjoys all new experiences. Magnus is a bit quieter and not quite as open, a bit more like Lyris when she was young. They're both adoreable. It looks like the blue eyes are staying. That makes three babies with Jan's blue eyes and 0 with my brown eyes. Oh well. It does look like they'll have my hair, though.
Speaking of Jan, I'm externally grateful to inform you that he's in his final days of crutches. He'll still be wearing a knee brace for a while, but the doctors have now told us that there will be no more forseeable surgeries and that the injury is healing quite nicely. I'm still just thankful that Jan's knee was the only thing serious hurt when he was in that car accident. All his other injuries were minor and have long since healed. I wish we could say the same thing about the car. With the twins just being born, we don't have the money to replace it, but we'll find it soon. I've been feeling a bit trapped at home without one.

Dear Family,
Susan has been holding up very well in kindergarten, as I'm sure you'll all be glad to hear. We're starting to call her Zanna--she thinks the nickname sound "Hemian" (she means Bohemian, and I don't for the life of me where she got that idea--I promise I haven't been letting her listen to Rent!). She's got two lovely friends, Claren and Dory, and the three of them are thick as peanut butter.
All of us have been excited about Edith Laurette and Walter Ira's births, especially Zanna. She's already dubbed them Dithy and Terry--not the average nicknames, but they're sweet. I hope they stick. Farley and I were glad that everything turned out well for them, and I personally hope that I never go through having twins again!
It's been a tough time without Dad to come around. Susan often comments on how much she misses Grandpa, and Farley and I can both say the same. I hope everyone else is doing all right. We're praying for all of you, and for Dad's soul to be at peace in Heaven.
Much love,
Tam, Farley, Zanna, Dithy, and Terry

Aloysius "Fox" is in kindergarten at St.Gabriel's private school. He has just finished the first half. He is excelling! Next year he will be skipping first grade and going to year 2. He is top of the class for all subjects and is very interested in Gymnastics, Music (Trumpet) and Dance (ballet) We are so happy and surprised at how well he is doing.
We have two new wonders in our family Phineas "Jory" & Atticus "Rune" our babies are 2 and look up to their brother, they love Kindy gym, dancing and singing.
We are going through a bit of a rough patch at the moment as one of my teachers George died, Jory was named after him, so it has been a tough time.

This week we got out progress report of Harper's first quarter of Kindergarten. The teachers are worried she will fall behind, but I know it's because she's destraught over the death of her gradfather. I'm still proud of my little fighter, she can do it if she really tries.
I'm adjusting to being at home most of the time with the twins (Who are two years younger.). Lucas Robin and Ambrose David are full of energy and I end up chasing them all over the place!

Aiden Matthew is in kindergarden at Hickory Grove baptist. He is smart and makes good grades but his teacher says he has a little trouble paying attention every once in a while. Were working on learning how to read and writing skills and told him that if he reads 10 decent sized books by the end of the school year we would get him a dog to keep our cat Zeus company.
Our new twins Hannah Noelle and Scarlett Danielle are now fouor months old and are working on sitting up. They smile alot now, mostly at their daddy. I can tell that they are going to be daddy's girls but thats okay becuase Aiden is a mommy's boy. Aiden just adores his baby sisters!
Were still working on getting over my mother's death a year ago. Aiden seems to finally understand that his Gma is not coming back. Sean and I are having a little trouble paying the funeral bills but my ex-stepfather is trying to help. My sister Brittany is still taking the death kind of hard. other than that we are happy and healthy.

Dear family and friends-
We have been very busy this year. Wyatt Samuel celebrated his 5th birthday in March and is in kindergarten. He attends the all day session and we are so proud of his accomplishments. I have not been back work in a few years now due to our ever expanding family. The twins, Atticus Logan and Joseph Jace will be 4 in just a few weeks. I can't believe our little boys are growing so fast! We are finally starting to get our lives back on track. For those of you who don't know, about 3 months ago, Wyatt's car pool was in a terrible accident. Wyatt broke one of his arms and had a few cuts on his head, but thank God that those were the extent of his injuries. However, we were all devastated over the death of 5 year old Greta Madigan Cooper and the driver Lydia Karen Spears. Please continue to pray for their families.
Love you all,
Chelsea and Nathan

Dear Mom and Pop
Our son Owain is in the March term of Kindergarten and is doing ok and we are proud of him but would love for him to be more respectful to his teacher. He says she is mean to him but we have had several chats with her and are convinced it is Owain causing the tift. He has done well in all areas and we were surprised to see him do well with learning how to play the flute! It was his choice of instrument. The music director at St. Lukes really thinks that our little Owain could some day be a Flutist!
In your last letter you asked if we were approved for the adoption of twins from Croatia. We did get our approval and we picked them up in Croatia.. what a flight!, a week ago. their names are Aleksander Dragan and Gordana Emilia. They are 4yrs old and have very dark brown hair with big green eyes. I have put them in the Pre-K class at St. Lukes and started them in dance and vocal lessons.
Owain loves the idea of being their BIG brother even though hs is only 6 and they are 4. He shows them the ropes at dance and school.
We are still fighting with the loss of Orrin mamma. How can you go day to day knowing your son and my brother is gone from this world. It happened so quick and we had no chance to say good-bye. But with the twins and Owain I have coped and we are moving on to the rest of our lives.
I hope you and pop are doing well and will see you soon
with love
