Indrani, 6 (
India)-
Rani, as we call her is known as the Governess. She watches over all the children, and loves to help out in the house, and is close to
Ania. She often squabbles with
Cajsa, but their getting better. She already speaks very good English, so she was able to go into the 1st grade right away. She made friends quickly, and loves to go to school! We signed
Rani up for Bharthanatyam, so she won't forget her Indian Roots
Ania Elizaveta, 6 (Russia)- She and
Rani are the dynamic Duo! They do everything.
Ania is quite the little artist. She loves to draw. Her english is improving from running around with
Rani, and is going to 1st grade as well, and a special English Class.
Ania also plays soccer!
Cajsa Emelie, 5 (Sweden)- Casja (we call her
Emelie to Distinguish from
Katya) and
Rani don't always get along. Casja is VERY protective of her little sister
Ingrid.
Emelie has discovered
Dora the Explorer, and the Exploring never stops anymore. She has deveoped and Affinity with the swing set in the backyard, and loves to swing. She could be at it for hours if she could. She is not as loud and talkative as
Rani, and as school, they say she is very quiet.

Katya Marina, 4 (Russia)-
Katya is VERY shy. Its hard to get her to say something. She is slowly coming out of her shell though. She even happened to meet a girl named
Svetlana at school, and they jibber away in Russian. I think her English is moving ok, although she doens't speak much. She follows
Emmy sometimes, and she sometimes gets ngihtmares at night. I don't know what about, but were taking her to a counselour. She is an over all hapyp child.
Liesl Brigitte, 3 (Germany)-.
Liesel has an extreme love for learning. She loves to build and count. Just a few months ago she could only speak
German, but with Preschool well underway, she loves to tell me her nubmers and ABC's in English. She and
Christelle are often grouped together. We got her a Lego set, and she is building God Knows what, but we love to see the look on her face when we clap after she builds something.
Liesl is the most industrious
Christelle Emeline, 3 (
France)-
Christelle worships one and one alone- PB&J sandwhiches. She wolfs almost three down every day! She is a healthy child however, not gaining TOO much weight. She still speaks mostly French, and LOVES to dance. We signed her up for Ballet, and she loves it! We went to her very first recital last week, and she did very well. Stelle loves to take care of
Leta as well.
Ingrid Katarina, 2 (Sweden)-
Ingrid is the sweetest toddler you will ever meet! She is curious and loves to run around the house. She usually ends up following
Emelie, who is very protective of her. She knows many Sweish words, but she has quite an English Vocabulary as well! She sometimes sits with
Liesl and watches her build her Lego's. She signed her up for a play group, and she loves eveyr moment.
Kyriaki Nikoleta, 21 mths (Greece)-Leta as we call her is the Baby of the family. She is not Fussy at all, and sleep a lot. She girls love to feed her and take care of her (except diapering her!).
