The kids are all doing wonderfully. Serafina started school recently, in the fifth grade. She is making friends quickly, and has adjusted quickly to living with us. Rodion has been sort of quiet, but has become good friends with a boy down the street. Maryana and Nathalie quickly became best friends. They spend all their time together. Many times, they play dress up with poor Linnea. Linnea, however, bears everything quietly and patiently. We've given the children middle names. Their names are now Serafina Alexa, Rodion James, Maryana Louise, and Nathalie Julia.
