[Games] Update-long...

Wow, what a delightful change!
Our ship is now quite full and happy.
Lets start with Milena, Elodie and Gabriella:
Due to the circumstances which placed them with us, we have given them all new nicknames to go with their new lives. So they are now Millie, Ellie, and Gabi. Gabi gave birth to Christiane Marina and Margaret Ariel -whom we call Christy and Daisy. Both are sweet, happy healthy girls who are doted on quite a bit. Millie was a bit of a handful at first, it broke our hearts to see her so depressed. She hated most of the men onboard and would run as soon as any came into the room. Luckily, my beloved mother-in-law, Susan was able to break through and now, she is the only one she will speak to. She no longer cuts herself, and while it will be difficult, we see her develolping into a wonderful young woman. Ellie has really adapted to living on a ship. She trusts Dana out of all people and often they will take the late night shifts together. He is very cautious and careful, but at least she is speaking with someone. She also loves helping take care of her little niece's.
Dena (Eden) and Nikki (Annika)didn't speak to anyone except each other for a long time. This was alright, they always seemed to get what they needed. Nikki eventually began leaving little manuscripts outside of my cabin and I would write her back. She began to trust me, and now, she still is a girl of very few words, but occasionally speaks with me. Dena began drawing maps of everywhere we had gone and everywhere she wanted to go. We made it a point to go to those places as often as we could. She is a very happy girl, but still won't speak with anyone except Nikki.
Jett (Bridget) is best friends with Gabi and loves taking care of Christy and Daisy. She also has made friends with my in-laws and loves spending time with them. She can be angry at times, and has broken a few things. But we know that she will thrive here.
We insisted that if Eddie and Ariane were going to live on this ship together, that they allow Dana to marry them. Being a ship's captain, he legally can. They agreed and it was quite a party that day. We waited until after the twins were born however. Kurt Rainer and Karin Ingrid were healthy and active when they were born. Kurt seems a bit small for his age, but we think it will be alright. Eddie has become fast friends with both Alex and Jackson-they love discussing random topics together after everyone else has fallen asleep. Ariane has also helped Gabi quite a bit, being a young mother herself. Dena likes to be around them when they are together as well. Flora and Lara do quite well-they seem to have been adopted my my two daughters, Eloria and Allessandera who love to play with them.
Maggie, Zora, Asen, Chaz and Marko are very spoiled. For some reason, everyone on this ship loves babies so no baby is ever left alone. I never have to worry about one being fed or changed or falling overboard, because someone is always with them. Zora is deaf, but it doesn't matter, Jackson knows sign language and is currently teaching all of us for when she is old enough to learn. Little Chaz was seen by a heart speciallist in China and had an operation and seems to be doing well. As long has we keep him on his medication, we don't see any complications in his future. Allessandera loves helping little Maggie, because she knows how to lead the blind. Eloria will play with both of them and it is adorable to see.
Thank you so much for these wonderful additions to our family. We love being able to help. We hope these children will be raised in a safe loving enviroment and that they will all grow into a productive adulthood with our help.

It's so great to hear from you again! I am glad the children are doing fine and that many are overcoming fears and depression. I'm sure I made the right choice placing these children in your family and positive they will receive the best care possible.
